Seeking help with art design!
Ever wanted to see a $2500 machine engraved with your art design?
There is a local engravery (I know it's not a real term, I don't care) that can engrave the tops of Macbook Pro machines. They're aluminum. It's $150 to get it done. I am willing to pay for this, but I am sorta short on ideas or artistic ability.
SO!
At the bottom of this post is a link to an .ai file that is a template for the size/resolution that this art needs to be done in. The red line around the edge, and the red apple in the middle, are non-engravable areas. The rest is fair game.
I'd love to see something that incorporates the Apple into the design, rather than just working around it/ignoring it.
Why would you want to put your time into doing this? Well... I offer the following reasons:
1) Could look good in a portfolio for some art institution somewhere, if you have aspirations as such. (Once it's done, I will post pictures online.)
2) Your art will be immortalized on a very expensive piece of machinery, at no cost to you.
3) Maybe you're someone that just likes doing art, and have some spare time to play around with it.
4) It's a challenge! The best design will totally win!
I have played around with some designs giving the Apple angel wings and a halo, or trying to re-make some famous pieces of art from the past with a focus on the Apple in the center... but I just lack the artistic know-how to make it happen.
Anyway, I look forward to (hopefully) getting some awesome ideas/designs from people! I know everyone I linked isn't necessarily artistically inclined - I'm hoping you might pass this along to any artistic friends you might have. Feel free to re-post it to pass it along, as well! To those that do send designs, feel free to send as many as you have ideas for. There's no limit.
You can upload designs to your own picture server and send me a link, email them to me at nosferotu@gmail.com, whatever. Just as long as the resolution stays high so they come out clear and non-pixelated if it's the one that gets engraved!!
Thanks for reading. :)
