Photoshop help please :)

A group are going to Morzine this summer and to help raise money for Chris ( https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/injured-rider-please-read-this/ ) we’d like to make and sell a special T-Shirt.

I thought something like the sign on the right in this image

where the HGV symbol was replaced by the Team Cortado logo

and the words on the sign were “Morzine 2019”. Really just the outline of the finger board with the image and words inside, not a signpost as such.

It fits in with the finger post image in the Team Cortado logo and also the ‘road trip’ vibe from the Morzine thing plus the year/distance.

Main thing would be that the team cortado logo be no smaller than say 12-15cm and it fit across the front of a small T-Shirt.

If anyone can help let me know – I can send you a proper image of the logo rather than the png on this page.

thanks

Luke

I have zero artistic ability, but this may help you / someone?

I’ve got some (maybe limited!) skills with Photoshop.
I’ve had a long, long day in the saddle today so am not thinking too straight – and that’s before I’ve hit the beer.

From my quick read through it doesn’t sound too complicated. I’m prepared to have a dabble tomorrow, once I’ve sorted out the bike. The hardest thing might be getting an identical font to the sign, but maybe that’s not overly crucial???

If that’s any use to you then you know where I am.

You mean something like this?

It’s unlikley you’ll get the logo to be that big “in” the sign.

This is A4 sheet proportions(the external box, I’ve made it smaller, don’t think you even want to go as big as A4.), as big as you’ll want to go on a tshirt I’d imagine, the logo here is about 75mm diameter.. Smaller one is about 50mm. 120-150mm is ambitious (If I’m interpreting this correctly..)

The hardest thing might be getting an identical font to the sign

See my post directly above yours. (-:

If colour is an option, would that work better with the thick outer ring(s) in red maybe?

See my post directly above yours. (-:

Yes, but getting the font might be another matter. Some are freely available, others have to be paid for.

I did wonder about using the circular logo as the main image and putting the signpost inside that.

The eye of the observer will naturally tend to look where the sign is pointing, and that is away from the logo. A marketing guru might say that would reduce the message. A circular logo holds the attention better.

Right, I’ve done a nice circular one, in glorious colour. How the **** do I get the image to appear on here? I ai’nt got a website and I’m not going to sign up to Smugmug or Instagram.

Use an image hosting site such as Postimage.org

go to imgur – you can upload without an account. then click on the image and get the ‘bbcode’ link

Woooeeee That worked. This is just a quick first version. Can be tweaked if desired.

The font is available on ffonts.net :
