Hehe...

Mostly the "trench" work right now.

Found an Acura emblem in B&W of a good size. Imported to Illustrator, Live-Traced it, which converts it from raster to vector (which gives me ability to size as I wish without "jaggies"), and saved to PS as a Smart Object.

Researched and found (pretty much) the Acura font, downloaded, and installed. Looks passable.

Read over Cafe Press and what they need (prefer PNG) for dark and white shirts (will just make everything for dark).

Golf shirts will need special. Can either be pocket/back or pocket. They don't do "fronts" on golf shirts.

So, now it's down to some designs. I'm going to mimic Kev's, first (he never sent any files so...), as there was some interest in it (but the grafetti font will probably not be the same).

I plan to create the files so that I can easily alter some overall color (when possible) and upload a color request.

Files will be 300 DPI, a probable decent resolution for shirts.

I've created an account (Slynky's Store).

Now, ready to start making some designs no one will want.

Laterz!
