you've got a flaw in the design. the horizontal notch in each individual slug that lines up would, if you keep the text the way it is, on the underneath. to keep the notch in the design, you'd need to [for accuracy] reverse the letter so it's read left to right, and flip them upside down.

okay. there was no need to get so technical with it.

It looks really good on denim but it needs to be tweaked.

I'm with gregopus. I work on the production side of the print world, and I know MANY designers who could stand to take a little more interest in the technical processes that actually reproduce their artwork. A little attention to detail never hurt anyone.

Ok. Calm yourself you two. Can you suspend your disbelief for a second? Let me explain myself. I agree with you that designers should try to learn more about production techniques. But your assumption offends me. I come from a printing technology beginning. I was cutting rubylith before I ever sat down in front of a design station. Yes maybe my slugs are reversed but I have included those notches as a design element to add some shape to mine. See you at the Gutenberg festival.

Oops. I apologize, artifice. I've put my foot in my mouth here.



I was actually directing my comment at chimbleysweep, since he seems to think that technical elements should NEVER be discussed, but I see now that I didn't make that very clear.



I didn't mean to insult you, or imply that you didn't have any knowledge of what you were designing. Clearly, given your subject matter, you do have an appreciation for crafting and production.



I don't really have anything against 'tweaking' accuracy for design considerations either, and I think your judgement here is pretty sound. All I was really trying to say, is that there's nothing wrong with polite technical observations, because unfortuately, sometimes people don't have a clue about the details being pointed out. But I'm sorry for saying so in a clumsy and tactless way. No offense was intended.

Very few people now a days have any idea about how things get printed now or then. maybe folks on this site are up to date but not the masses. The design looses a whole generation of veiwers/wearers.
