The Aperture - Cash Set (4 Viewers)

Butterscotch based $5 for the win!!!!

More sepia-ish:

I think the sepia works for the $5 chip.

Then the workhorse denominations of 1, 5, & 20 can follow photographic history from black & white to sepia to full color. I would even consider cyan, magenta, and yellow related spots for the $20.

I might go with the CMY spots on a red chip for the fiver, just because I like traditional colors (red = five, not green = 20)... but I like this line you are taking.

... just because I like traditional colors

It could be traditional Cali colors:

White $1(blue is more common, but white is used), Yellow(sepia) $5, Black $20 (with CMY spots)

I was actually playing with that same exact spot pattern last night. Definitely an option, Mike!

But I don't know if I can revert to the old quarter. I just love the 1/2 pie too much!!

The frac is great I'm talking about the $25...er 20

I don't hate this idea.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubbles, but I probably won't be doing a sepia chip. Mainly just because I hate sepia photos (even though a client hired me to do one recently), and more importantly, I have absolutely no interest in brown chips.

But... I kind of love the idea of CMY spots on the red chip. And if I keep the green 25, the denoms flow by RGB for 5, 25, 100 (red, green, blue bases).

I can certainly understand that.

[justsomedude]

New approach on the 100...

And the green will be a 25... just haven't updated the label yet.

After staring at this for a while I think I'm getting damn close to where I want it to be. I may tweak the 5er a bit more, but I think the set is coming together!

I said this at least five or six times going through the design process....

......before making major changes.

If some one told me they weren't interested in brown chips... I'd probably high five them.

 

[WedgeRock]

I like the $100 alot.

IMO, if it were me, I'd leave the colors as is, but I'd switch the edge spots on the $1 and the $100.

What do you recommend?

Um?

Like this:

Same colors as above, just switching out the edgespot patterns.

Ah... didn't know you meant switch directly with each other... I thought you mean switch with some 'other' spot pattern.

I DIG THIS. I will mock up the entire set tonight...

 

[justsomedude]

Thoughts??

Also, anyone know why 814 is L6 and 618 is L9?

Something doesn't seem right here...

I wondered the same thing. I figured 1/8 spots were more labor-intensive to deal with than 1/4

The smaller spots are much harder to work with. They have more chips that are rejected so it cost them more to make them.

I'm not much of fan overall of CPC 1/8" spots. A lot of the spots end up broken looking, or not going all the way from the face to the rolling edge.

A double 1/8" spot ends up a little better.

 

[Forty4]

I think it has to do with labor and waste. It's mentioned in the CPC discussion thread, something about the 1/8 being a PITA.

I'd just tell them they haven't seen brown chips done right...

...just sayn'

3T16 is a L5 spot.

Thanks for this info!!!!!

If you make the center spot the same color as the base its the same as a 3DSA316 which is a level 3.

Thanks now I know it's available I might have to order. Do I need a third color set?
