Shuggie Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Twinny, Can you run up a tweaked version of the flag in post 23 please? Post 23 – with THE NOMADS in black lettering across a top yellow band rather than the black band that is there currently and GLOBAL SUPPORTERS CLUB again in black against another yellow band at the bottom instead of the black one there currently. Tom and I are working on a short list to present to the voting system with an emphasis on visibility from the other parts of the ground Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Hey Twinny Can I push you on your knowledge. The quotes I have had so far are all looking for a "high resolution" image to create the best results. Are you the person to help us with that. It looks as though a hand sewn job will be too expensive so we have to give the the best iamge possible. Let me know if you are up to this Anyone else know about this stuff please throw in your oar of advise thanks Topcat Edited March 26, 2013 by topcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the people making the flags could advise the ideal picture size and quality (number of pixels and pixels per inch) then I can give it a go when I get the chance.

If the people making the flags could advise the ideal picture size and quality (number of pixels and pixels per inch) then I can give it a go when I get the chance. It may be prudent to ask suppliers if they always have to tweak logos as anything supplied to them is normally distorted when enlarged to fit such large flags? Tom found some who sew logos basically copy the design. Should we go down the totally printed route, the above query may be useful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm sure that twinny has this covered. Basically you would have to submit a .tiff high resolution image from a proper drawing package. I get this done for graphs. You can start in Powerpoint but the drawing package seems to redraw the image and is much sharper. This would probaby be okay for a large flag. See what the company say it must happen a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 More info, it has to be a vector image to be scaled up. One way is Powerpoint > pdf > Photoshop. I don't have Photoshop myself that's all I can chip in with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 More info, it has to be a vector image to be scaled up. One way is Powerpoint > pdf > Photoshop. I don't have Photoshop myself that's all I can chip in with. I don't have photoshop either, but I use paint.net. Until now I have simply been copying and pasting flag designs as backgrounds and placing the text and badge in as separate layers in the picture before flattening each design into one layer in a jpeg. The flag designs and text will be no problem for scaling up, the question is whether the badge can be scaled up. That really depends on the quality and size of the jpeg that Shuggie sent me. It looks fine when I scale it up to the size of my laptop screen but I have doubts as to how good it will look six feet tall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need a better quality image. Now who do we know who could produce such a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
