Great tutorial!
I’m wondering if people would be interested in more design/print/application tutorials, especially for using plotting machines (Graphtec or similar – though this is more for Illustrator).
very good, I have your design can also be useful in a T-shirt
Cool! Really fun and professional! These kind of printings are very interesting. Personally I think these kind of brandings are excellent to work with because of its freedom of creativity. These client allow you to do a lot of things since it remembers his trademark’s purpose and identity’s main aspect. Really cool! What a pity it’s plus tutorial!
This makes me want to sign up for Tuts Plus. I’d like to design one a decal for my own board.
