Graphic arts help.

Hello All,

I need to create some artwork to engrave on these openers that I make. They are machined from aluminum and will all be black anodized. The engraving will be done with a precision laser.

As you can see, there isn't a lot of room for engraving. Therefore the designs are limited.

Does anybody know where I can tap into a graphic artist pool?

Also, can I engrave Tacoma World on them?

Thanks for your insight!!
John

 

Graphic artist here. What can I do for ya?

 

Any chance you want to create something that would look good on any of these openers?
In the past I've mechanically engraved people's names with different fonts. Now I want to have something more artistic to offer. Like the Celtic knot on the one model only way better.
I'm happy to pay for the work. I just don't know what it would cost to hire someone etc... Or what design themes to shoot for.
I can send dxf files and give some theme ideas.

Thanks for responding!

 

For celtic knot things, if you're looking to make a new custom version of a knot it will cost more due to the time and it's complexity.

It terms of other designs or themes, it will help to know what your shooting for. Generally artists wont do free concept work for you until you find what you like. We build off your final idea and makes tweaks from there. Unfortunately, I can't do anything with .dxf files as I do not own an autocad software. However, if you have a pdf or a screenshot I'll be happy to discuss ideas with you. But actual work won't begin until your idea is generalized.

 

Cool. I can create a pdf. If/when I can come up with some solid ideas I will hit you up. Thank you!

 

do some diamond pattern like on a gun/rifle. That would look neat IMO....

 

Sorry, wanted to respond sooner but the power went off here because of the winds/fires. But looking forward to seeing what you got!
