Hey dude,

I do graphic work: www.SpikedSperris.com for a lot of top guys in the biz...i'd be happy to put something together in photoshop for you as a JPEG image you can easily drop into your word doc for printing...feel free to drop me an email, i'm out of the contry right now and unavailable via phone.

I don't think it's legal to use a copyrighted image like the one you are using to try and make profits.

it depends on where the image came from, it looks like a gettyimages image that has been cropped...i'm not familiar with the spade design...where did this image come from anyway?


PS....phenomenon....are you from cornwall ONTARIO? dude i was just there like two weeks ago!

 

[Phenomena]

i got it from google...typed in ace of spades lol

sue me...

and yea im in cornhole...

where you from?

 

[xandernova]

Yeah dude....dont use the ghost spade....make your own image.

I would also recommend using photoshop ( if you know how ) or some kind of photo editing/creating program.

hahahaha dude that's crazy!

i was there with my girl's family visiting relatives for about a week, i was going crazy! I bought come fly with me for that trip, learned it in the first day, then sat and did nothing. we did go to that mall with the big sears and the movie theater there though!

i'm actually from vegas, but flew into toronto, rented a car, and we drove to conrwall and then into qubeck (sp?).

ANYWAYS...if you want help making an ace of spades i can do it for you so you can drop it in as a watermark...

i dont have an artistic bone in my body

i just want something thats eye catchy, reason why i like that image is because its a spade, everyone can relate to it, but its not JUST a spade..

so if you can thing of something, then by all means put it together

i dont want anything with to much colour, as i will be printing a few of these, just something that makes heads turn twice, but doesnt give them whiplash

and its quebec

wish i had known this sooner, couldve let loose on the town lol

 

[dansperry]

gime this afternoon and i'll have it for ya'...

yeah dude you guys have some weird cheese up there...it like squeaks when you chew it...

 

[beanzmagic]

BORED!!! I can help you make something if you tell me exactly what you want it to look like.

 

[MaxDeVill]

As long as you change 7 things about the picture it becomes an "artistic interpretation" and thus you're good.

 

[Phenomena]

as i said im not artistic at all..so what id like hmm
not sure

something a little darker, like black/white/gray, not all flashy with bright reds and stuff

something tha symbolizes magic, but sortve subtly

maybe the back of a bicycle card with other stuff in it..i dunno lol

you guys are the artists

 

[dansperry]

here ya' go dude, i kept it low res so nobody will steal it kidding guys, i know we're ethical on here...if you want the full blown 8x10 300 dpi image email me and i'll attach it for ya...i did it custom in photoshop so its all yours to do with as you please...

oh crap
thats orgasmic lol

me likes

is there anyway to make it bigger, so it can fit most of a page?
or if i want to use it as a wallpaper or whatnot (if you let me )

then once you do..hmm...
is there a way i can have it faded in the background, and have text over it for my flyer? (like ill do this, but what do i need to do with wordpad to do it)
or is it better to have that as a banner, and text around/under it etc (which i know how to do, attatch image, text around it etc)

 

[dansperry]

email me: sperrydan@gmail.com and i'll reply with it attached as a high res graphic. just open like say microsoft word and import it as an image. format the picture as a "watermark" and it will make it faded on the page for you...i think at like 50% or something like that...
