Need help designing a track suit! (Basic photoshop knowledge wanted!)

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 06:51 PM

Hey so I'm getting a new suit and I get to pick the colors. Attached is a coloring book that I can't edit because its a pdf.

I like the monster, helimot pro and liberty. My bike is black, my boots and helmet are black. My gloves can be color coordinated to the suit. I was thinking originally a mostly black suit but now I'm thinking black white and blue. If I did a color I'd want it blue. So can anyone offer some help on coming up with designs?

I don't want something really flashy, just cool and laid back. Also, its gotta say JIGGLES on the back

@This Girl Rides maybe you can help?

This Girl Rides · July 17th, 2013, 07:13 PM

Ill see what I can do

slickt0mmy · July 17th, 2013, 07:13 PM

slickt0mmy · July 17th, 2013, 07:22 PM

Which font do you prefer for your name, out of the ones listed in the book?

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 07:22 PM

Heres what I was able to do in paint, though my blue shade is way off haha

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 07:25 PM

I'm trying to use gimp, and failing lol I just want to select and paint bucket fill

slickt0mmy · July 17th, 2013, 07:29 PM

Here's one on the Monster pattern using mostly white, if you like that look better. Actually, now that I think about it, the top of the hump on that one should be black. So just imagine that part.

Man I wasn't thinking of doing too much white but I do like that

slickt0mmy · July 17th, 2013, 07:44 PM

A black version...

xSean13 · July 17th, 2013, 08:02 PM

I think this is what you're looking for; i'm pretty sure I nailed it.

I'm not completely against this....

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 08:14 PM

White looks better on paper but in an actual suit I like the dominating black. So I think I may go with this design

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 08:21 PM

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 08:27 PM

Fack, can't decide the above one or this one?

The helimot pro IS $200 cheaper....

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 08:32 PM

Ok, I think I'm going with the Helimot Pro that @slickt0mmy made in the above.

slickt0mmy · July 17th, 2013, 08:56 PM

Haha alright. If you want your name in a different font than what I have it in, just look at their book for the ones available and let me know which one to swap it out for.

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 09:10 PM

Hmm, I'll probably go with Arial or Bauhaus. bauhaus might be kinda gay, but so is the name jiggles

eddiekay · July 17th, 2013, 10:53 PM

Saw you talking about type.; they prob use a plotter to cut the letters and most plotters will accept any typeface you install...so...if type is a big issue...find out if you can send them a font ( mac or pc) Between Bauhaus and Arial....you might want to search Futura Medium....extremely crisp. IMHO of course.

Jiggles · July 17th, 2013, 11:27 PM

The fonts available are in the book and he cuts and sows all the leathers in his shop. He just needs to know the colors so he knows how much of each of the materials to order.

Trailerboy531 · July 18th, 2013, 12:24 AM

I like Slick Tommy's one but you could probably win points with the girl in Florida if you wait for her designs and she could teach you how to make a 300 look like teh sex.

Definitely go with the Monster design - it's the perrtiest.

Jiggles · July 18th, 2013, 12:33 AM

Well I had to submit the design tonight in order for Helmut to have enough time to make the suit before my track school

psych0hans · July 18th, 2013, 12:51 AM

How much money do you have? That suit's gonna cost you 2000$+

This Girl Rides · July 18th, 2013, 04:37 AM

Well bump all y'all for obviously not working late shifts -_-
Sorry Jiggles that I didn't get to it right away, :P
I work 12-13hr shifts at the hospital

Ytse Frobozz · July 18th, 2013, 07:56 AM

Did someone say track suit?

2 hobo dollars.

Congratulations

slickt0mmy · July 18th, 2013, 02:23 PM

I'd settle for a picture of the suit once you get it. I'm curious to see how it turns out.

Did they give you a timeline of when it should be done?

Don't start with @Jiggles, he'll find someone to reverse into him & break his leg again just to get a sponge bath & some more percoset
