39mm spot vector graphics (useful for Tina/Anita cards mold?) (1 Viewer)

There’s a ton of useful info here and all over the forum. As a newbie illustrator I really wish there was a detailed step by step guide on designing labels and Tina chips from A to Z. If anyone ever takes on that challenge I know I (and a lot of other newbies) would be incredibly grateful!

Agreed. Perhaps a YouTube tutorial or something.

I’m curious what else you need beyond the template in this thread? Just change the colors of the chips to whatever you like. For the label, just make your art fit within a 24mm circle. That’s really all you need.
If the problem is not having experience with a vector-based design software, the a step-by-step guide won’t be of much help.

I know I'm a very visual learner. If I saw a video of someone doing a chip design, and I could follow along and do what they were doing, it would make learning the process a lot easier for me. I'd especially like to learn how to do the drawn/squished edge spots that are very popular.

For squished-looking edgespots, I just use the template and the pencil tool in Adobe Illustrator. Take the straight line and freehand it. Once done, you can use that chip going forward with any others using the same edgespot pattern. I have a bunch of chips I’ve done edgespots for, and keep a library of them to draw from.
