Tina ask for "before you saved as them, please kindly convert all of fonts to be paths"
What does this mean? I am new to Adobe Illustrator.

Select all => Type => Create Outlines

Select all => Type => Create Outlines

Not sure why, but Create Outlines is faded out and can't click on it.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Hmmm try selecting only the text

If there are blue outlines, I'm assuming there are already the created outlines?
I'll look more into before I'll ask anymore.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

Yes, if it’s not an editable text box you are probably good

 

[ktran]

Is there a website with free templates for designs, logos, letters, etc?

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

To be honest no clue lol. I’m sure googling could find you some free stuff but usually behind a pay wall I’m sure. Letters just use something like dafont.com lots of free fonts

File>Print>Save as PDF>(Your file name).ai

Save it as an “.AI” file! You’ll still be able to open it in InkScape and check out everything to make sure it’s what you want.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

In inkscape, to convert all texts to path :
1. CTRL + A (select all)
2. CTRL + Shift + C (convert selection to paths)

If it worked, you should not be able to edit the texts anymore.

Might move into another thread. Seems like wrong thread to discuss this.

Quick Mock Up. What you think? It's going to be diamond mold of course.

Bro, I actually love the idea

Straight out of Los Santos!

Might move logo on top and city on the bottom, but have to move the trees down if I do.

Its more classic that way.

 

[MatthewTreeTree]

I like to step back and see how it looks from further away from the screen. Helps me with seeing where things should go, how much pop they should have, and if anything is "too much" or "too little".

 

[ktran]

Yeah if I do that, the denomination number blocks the trees. Looking at the mirage chips and they just made the trees smaller. Idk I'll do all layouts and sit on it for a while.

39mm: cards mold (smooth), diamond mold (smooth), plain mold smooth, plain mold textured

Anyone know how plain mold smooth and card mold smooth compared when it comes to slickness and how they stack?

The base of the T1k & T25k look near identical in the photo. May be different in person.

Yeah, they’re close. The Paulson colors are blaze and watermelon. As great as these chips are, there are definitely limitations on colors. There wasn’t a good almond color for the 1k spot, I had to darken the t500, otherwise the 100 and 500 would have been nearly identical, metallic gold is impossible to replicate….. and so on. I also changed that T5 to a T25000 as I never use the 5 in my game. Even my bounties are $10

 

[Deucekies]

How fixed or variable would you say the shipping would tend to be? If it's approximately 2.5¢/chip for 10,000, that's $250. If I were to order 5000, I assume the shipping would be less, but probably not by half.

I'm asking because my planned purchase is already up to 5000 chips, and I'm trying to decide if waiting for a group buy is worth it, or if I should just move forward with a solo buy.

I don’t believe there’s much more of a price break on shipping. If you don’t want to wait 3-5 months you can have them shipped air. You’re looking at closer to $.20/chip, but you’ll get your chips in weeks vs months.

A 20¢/chip markup is out of the question. Time is not of the essence, so if it keeps the overall cost below 32¢/chip or so, I'll wait it out.

It’s not worth a GB. Order direct.

What sort of numbers would I be looking at for 5000? 30¢/chip + $250 shipping? Am I close enough to the 28¢ price break?
