Apple store is down. I smell an ipod release. :d

**Jahooba** · 10-05-2012, 02:19 PM

Hmm: Apple's new iPods reportedly in scant supply | Apple - CNET News

Anyway, after much consideration I've decided not to buy a new iPod Touch. Apple can stick their premium, underpowered crap in an uncomfortable place.

Instead I bought the Kindle Paperwhite, which by all accounts is a product that is worth its price tag.

Remember that iPad 3 lockscreen? Here

I'm thinking of turning it into a vinyl wall sticker. I found a company that can custom make it - they usually do vinyl wall quotes like this:

Neurotech [HD]-333962_464612833569398_47168449_o.jpg

And wall designs like this:

Neurotech [HD]-182169_391130587615118_527166747_n.jpg

I got a price quote for it and the prices are as follows:

Size: 21" tall x 20" wide
Price: $45.90

Size: 24" tall x 23" wide
Price: $52.60

Size: 26" tall x 25" wide
Price: $56.80

Size: 28" tall x 27" wide
Price: $61.20

Size: 30" tall x 28.5" wide
Price: $64.50

I'll probably add some money onto this so I make a little something off it, but what do you guys think of the idea? I also have an idea for transferring the design to painted glass.

**Chaingun** · 10-07-2012, 12:27 PM

How about a 6 inch or so for car windows?

**Jahooba** · 10-07-2012, 12:38 PM

It's so detailed, at six inches I'd imagine the machine couldn't cut it that small. I could design a small one, though.

Please obtain a specimen of the company's work in respect to the original artwork they've been provided with.
I had a very bad experience with printing a drawing I made : the resultant resolution was **** in comparison with the 326ppi I gave them. They just couldn't print in such details on the medium we chose.
So, please bear this in mind when dealing with the company you mention. Insist on the output resolution, your work, and even more especially that one high quality image, deserves the best treatment.

**Jahooba** · 10-07-2012, 01:40 PM

Yeah, good idea - I should get a sample first

The patterns I create are done with vector lines, so that should allow for maximum resolution

Yeah, vectors are a good factor. But if you surrounded the white lines with the usual NeurotechHD blueish aura, that blur hue could get pixelated, am I wrong ? Are those vectors too ?

No, the images I posted were processed in Photoshop where I added the glow. The vinyl product would just be the shapes. Only the pattern would be in vinyl, the rest would be pulled away and discarded.

Ok, thanks for clearing that bit up. Yeah, the process should settle most risk of random pixels being applied to your art.

Edit : typo.

**Jahooba** · 10-07-2012, 02:54 PM

Hmm, I guess what I should really do is have a bunch of patterns to choose from.

The dilemma I'm facing is that I love making the "Neurotech" style of artwork, but I want to try to make these patterns/ symbols into a physical product, rather than a purely digital one.

Another idea I had was to transfer the vinyl pattern onto a sheet of glass, then cover that with another sheet of glass, this way it would look as if it's floating on top of the wall when mounted. But how do you mount two sheets of glass to a wall? Hmm...

**Chaingun** · 10-07-2012, 05:17 PM

How about those things that you put on car windows, that you can see out of, but not into? i wonder if one of those could be custom printed and sized to the back window of my supra

**Jahooba** · 10-08-2012, 12:01 AM

I thought of using those fasteners - the only problem is that I have to drill through glass. It may be worth it if it looks cool, though. Maybe I can find them in black...

**Chaingun** · 10-08-2012, 11:56 AM

You'd want the glass custom made, and have the edges smoothed so they aren't sharp as hell, they could drill the holes for you when that's done, thin tempered glass would look awesome

**Jahooba** · 10-08-2012, 01:38 PM

Ok, I think I have a plan for what I'm going to do:

I'll start with some small-scale designs on 8x10" glass. I'll paint the opposite side of the glass and sandwich the vinyl between another pane of glass. I found some simple picture frames, but they're kind of cheap - I'll use them for now just for testing, although I will probably upgrade to something nicer (or design and fabricate a frame from scratch). Drilled glass and stainless steel clasps are still an option, although I'm not entirely sure where I can get glass drilled professionally.

Each one will be numbered and signed by me, which means there will be a limited run. I'll probably have two versions of each design - black on white background, and reversed.

Next step: find out how tiny the vinyl cutting machine can make the cuts.

Once I figure out how to make them I'll make a website to sell them. I also want to make giant versions, with crazy detail

**Alfroggy** · 10-09-2012, 05:37 AM

A nice website with good zoom-ins on the fine details

OT : the new iPod Touch has a 4s inside

**Chaingun** · 10-09-2012, 05:17 PM

Dude, given the time of year... Neurotech pumpkin patterns!!! how sweet would that be? also J any window shop that can do security windows can drill the glass for you

Definitely!

Heh, I thought about that. Pumpkin carving is hard! I injured my wrist a while ago and it still causes pain. Nope, I think I'll stick with computer-controlled machines to do all my physical labor

Speaking of which, here's a peek at what I've been working on:

That's pretty sweet, a nice way to reuse something that would be thrown away too... i wonder if it's possible to get the specs to do it with another magazine
