hi....ok i give up...no idea whats going on and i'm clueless at this stuff....could someone please help me?
heres my feeble attempt....it needs to be even/symmetricalish/neatened up and squarer....maybe the corners minutely rounded off....probably a 5 minute job to someone who isnt a total retard like me....i've got adobe cs4 but have only ever used it for photography and the vastness of the program is making such a simple thing impossible to fathom in my little head....its like trying to swat an amoeba using something that weighs as much as a planet....
any help greatly appreciated....regards

I used CS4 too, found it shockingly hard to do the simple stuff. Forwarded it to a friend in the business and he did it in about 4 miniutes
Seem to have a few pulling out now is this still viable? I hope so.

Excuse me for asking this, but what am I actually suposed to see in that design? Maybe I'm looking for things in it that just aren't there. Cool design though, but looking at it cold I don't know what it's supposed to represent. Is that a P in the lower left corner and a low case "a" beside it?
Sorry to rain on your parade, don't mean to. Honest.

I downloaded Inkscape for my stamp artworks, it's a good, free and intuitive vector graphic package- ma Eldest does cut vinyls for vehicle graphics, he recommended this and I had them both done from a doodled artwork scan within about 3hr, including the downloading and picking up the basics
Not sure. With davebromley, gray-array, thijzz, miniwhisk, Biker and possibly Robbi in, I think we're still short but I'll have to go through the whole thread again and check.
Still waiting for artwork from:
bucephalus (who lost my address)
Chiseler
leonidas
luckylee
roger-uk
Plus the guys who are now on the main list:
DaveBromley
Thijzz
MiniWhisk
Biker
jackcbr & SimonH - if you can e-mail me the designs you had at the weekend I'd be grateful.
guys....i cant thank you enough.....mountain i owe you a beer or ten!! THANKYOU!!!!
yup dwardo its a nightmare innit.....cs4 is over-kill at times. i even tried using my ancient jasc p.s.pro as its much simpler but couldnt even figure that out either.
the design is of my three initials....
just one thing mountain....and please feel free to tell me to eff-off....would it be better if it was slightly less 'long' and a bit squarer to fit on the square stamp a bit better?....please dont waste any more of your time tho if its a pain.....i really appreciate what youve done.
i dunno what you mean by a radius in this context (curved corners?) but if one/three are missing i'm sorta kool with that dont panic....i dont know if this sounds bizarre to you perfectionists but me personally....i dont mind minor imperfections in handmade things whether it be leatherwork or knifemaking or whatever...if a handmade item is perfect then it has nothing but my total respect but at the same time i like to see/feel the makers 'marks'.....to me theres a difference between a 'mistake....bad workmanship' and having something so perfect it looks plastic, lifeless or done by a machine.
feel free to lynch me at next years moot lol.
seriously though.....thanks again....me well happy.
and i'll download that software thanks turbogirl.....need to teach meself so i can up with something nicer like mountains logo next time all by meself and not be a burden to y'all.

If you can find a picture you like on-line you can just link to it/send it to me - I saw in that other thread you wanted a trout or something
Just to let you know, for those of you who have ordered 1 stamp, the cost will be about £5 posted, I think, possibly slightly less. It's gone up slightly due to the cutting costs but I won't know until I can get all the designs in and can send a file to the manufacturer (I also might have overestimated the postage). For those who have ordered 2, it won't be twice as much etc.
Angst, I think there are 2 spaces left (leaving one for Robbi) - shall I put you down for them?
