    Cuppa T:I've already got two GFGSS spoke cards in my back wheel, had them there for like three weeks.

    So. glasgowfgss spoke cards. I've been thinking of getting some of these made up. Cuppa T I've seen some stuff you've done previously so I'd like you to draft some stuff if you have any free time. I also know the guy who did the design below for the londonfgss T-Shirt Competition. I might try and get him to design something too.

    yeah, that t-shirt design is really good.
    i will try ring something up in photoshop.
    we need to think of something specific to Glasgow though, the only thing that comes to my mind is knifes and buckfast, im sure that isn't a good image to pass off ha
    any ideas rusty old chap?

    I've got something in Photoshop right now. It's not really Glasgow-centric but it's one of my favourite things about Fixed. could be incorporated into the final design. It'll be done in about 20 minutes maybe.

    Nice. Depending on the price of making them we could get a lot of different ones done.

    I'm a printer. If you supply the artwork on disk I can print them. They would need laminated elsewhere though.

    do you work for a printing firm or do you just print yourself?
    if your about, like at a job (that you might have) in Glasgow i could come in and drop a disk off? and how much would you charge?
    laminating shouldn't be too hard to get done someplace.

    laminating shouldn't be too hard to get done someplace.

    I am a commercial printer. The image really needs to be print ready preferably saved as a pdf. If you are unable to save your final choice at high res in pdf format,
    just post it on here and I will ask a designer friend to have a look at it and sort it out to make it ready for 4 colour process printing.

    There will be no charge.

    You sir are a legend.

    We'll get the file done as an A6 300dpi PDF and I'll host it and give you a download link.

    Again. Thanks for the grand gesture.

    I meant to say if you require one than one design this is okay as they can be imposed to be printed at the same time.

    For example 4 different cards can be printed at the same time 8 up on an SRA3 sheet, finished size would be A6? Is that correct?

    When you have your final designs just let me know.

    •  
      CommentAuthorrusty
    • CommentTimeJun 18th 2008
     

    Yeah Finished size of A6 is what we're after. We'll proabably have 4 designs for you I think.
