helpful hints

Hey guys,


For our individual headings -

if you go to www.dafont.com they have alot of awsome typefaces for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE for pc and mac.

neat little thing with da font is you can type your text into a sample box and it will show you the typeface as your text rather than its name, i think its neat.


VOTE 1 UNIVERS FOR BODY

lots of fun ^_^

Cheers guys,

Annalise your loving art directorjavascript:emoticonp('Twisted Evil')javascript:emoticonp('I love you')

hey thanks for this post!

I went onto the suggested website www.dafont.com, however while I found some interesting things I couldn't work out where abouts the sample box was that you recomended....

so I was wondering if someone could help direct me?? thanks (and I agree with annalyse and serryn, univers is a great font, I think it would work best) nice, clean and open font

Hi Guys,
If you are interested in tweaking your Title a bit more, programs like FontLab Studio or Fontographer allow you to create your own font.
I just started using Fontlab, so far its been fun. Niccic

bag printing

Post  Camilla - designer on Wed Apr 02, 2008 4:18 pm

Hiii

I was thinking that if we have trouble finding ultra violet light for screen printing, another option could also be transfer printing. You are able to get more detail this way and I live right near COFA where I could do the sample logo on the bags. Each press costs $1.

Let me know what anyone thinks

i tried looking for some good visual examples of transfer printing, all i could find were a few random examples, if anyone has any good images for transfer printing could you please post it so i can be enlightened. but $1 sounds pretty sweet. nice work milla

Yeah I could mostly find only random examples of transfer printing but if your curious as to how it works the procedure is this: an image is printed or copied onto a specially coated transfer paper. The printed paper is then placed face down on the fabric and heat is applied and the image is transferred (in reverse) to the fabric.

I haven't done it before but i'm told its very easy and I have friends who are familiar with the process who will be able to help if need be.
