BigMama, nice
If you have high res original working file of that I can do a good bit to enhance the contrast, levels, shadows/highlights, etc in CS4... Gimp\'s good shit and I\'m always pulling for open source software but it\'s just simply not as good. New GIMP maybe = PS 6.5 or so. Lack of layer effects and shadows/highlights being the biggest omissions.
Yakity yak though. Keep \'em coming.
So here\'s specifications that you graphic designers will need to follow to be contenders for the "best poster and I will print it" contest.1. 11" x 17" with 1/8" bleed x 500 copies = My cost about $200
2. 18" x 24" with 1/8" bleed x 500 copies = My cost about $300
3. 24" x 36" with 1/8" bleed x 500 copies = My cost about $550
It will take a bit over a week from the time I receive whatever turns out to be the favorite poster to get it delivered. Something with a Freakout theme or NYE theme would be cool as these are more popular shows. Or just a straight up tripped out Breakfast poster. Do what you want but please keep to those specifications if you want it printed.
CMYK required. 300dpi+ TIFF, PSD, or PDF are acceptable formats.
Scaling up quantities from 500 to 1000 is usually only like 10-15% more expensive. I would be hesitant to go beyond 18" x 24" because I don\'t feel like paying that much for 24" x 36". The only way I would print this size is if somebody split the bill with me.
Get ta work! Still waiting on release of the working files for the new logo... when I get that I might submit my own
Also, be careful of copyright infringement. I\'m going to assume Breakfast logos are fair game unless told otherwise. Be careful using stuff like other album artwork (Sergent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band) or modifying other corporate logos like the Rufus/Ruffles and other designs. These will unfortunately not be contenders for this offer due to potential (though unlikely) legal issues.
