A little while back. As in somewhere in 2015.

PS What I have noticed is the website has a very strict caching policy for pages and pics.
Essentially, once you've downloaded an image or a page off the bomberblitz website (who host it, thanks guys), it takes an effort to refresh if the page or image get changed/updated.

This whole proxy image nonsense the admins have mandated probably doesn't help you out too much.

Not at all.

Is the Sherrin font something that's available in the wild? I've had a bit of a dig but no luck so far. They clearly have one at least for in-house use, for custom balls.

Do you want a vector version?

Cheers. After the font more than a footy template really though, particularly letters outside the usual name.

Open in Illustrator then delete all the parts you don't need.

The Font should pop up to download if you are using Illustrator CC. That's how I got my Adihaus font from the Essendon PDF.

has anybody got a decent hoodie template for Ai?

I just picked up a Geelong long sleeved guernsey from about 1992-1995, but it has a signature of Paul Chapman on the back in black texta. As much as I am a big fan, I don't really want his signature on that guernsey! Does anyone have good tips to remove the ink from that material without causing any damage?

How do you take a picture of an embroided logo like this and turn it into a 'regular' logo image? What tools on Photoshop should I be using?

Use the pen tool to trace it.

Decent is subjective, but there's some in here:

I have realistic ones for PS if you need as well.

I'm fairly sure there's no automatic embroidery-to-2D image tools on Photoshop, so you'll have to do it manually.

Your best bet would be to use the Pen Tool. The Pen Tool on Photoshop isn't just your regular pen tool that you'd find on Paint, it's much more advanced and precise. It's very simple to use, though, but you'd need to look up 1 or 2 tutorials to get the hang of it. It's highly worth it.

If you could pass one my way I might try and have a play with it.

Pullover or zip-up?

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

Can I make a general board-wide suggestion that, from now on, when anybody mentions the Pen Tool to newcomers that they actually explain what it is? Because just saying 'pen tool' isn't exactly selling it, nor does it explain just how powerful and simple of a tool it is.

I have a feeling people tend to look right over it assuming it's a useless free-form drawing tool like the pencil in Paint.

But if you can get past the accent, it's a pretty good tutorial.


My fav New Zealand joke is about a Kiwi who was asked how many lovers he'd had in his life.
He was thinking hard, and started counting 1-2-3-4 but then he fell asleep.

Pull over, please.
