OK, so, just so that everyone knows...I am by no means an artist. But, I did start on this little project for a coaster. Coasters were another item that people seemed to like.....and I thought I would post the little bit of work I did. I only have the front side so far. I showed the die cut line, safety line, and bleed line, just for the purpose of posting, but, obviously, these blue lines would not show up on the final. There is a lot that I would want an artist to look over to make sure this (or whichever design we go for) is correct. The website had a lot of details for: the correct resolution at printed size=300dpi, colors are CMYK, file format gets properly uploaded to the manufacturer....some of this might need some artist to re-touch, to get things looking correct. For instance....I think the tapa print could be brightened to show up a bit better. I did the Emerald Green in the lettering, cause supposedly that's what the official color is for 20 years?? (at least that what a google search told me.... :lol: Also, I have not yet done anything for the back....I thought I little info about Tiki Central something like: Tiki Central has been your Online Ohana Open 24 Hours every day since 2000 A Main Ceremonial Gathering House created for those who Celebrate Classic and Modern Polynesian Pop ...maybe that's too cheesy?? I don't know?? Feel free to rip into it....make suggestions...whatever....lol. I'm just excited that everyone is coming together to share ideas. :) I'm looking forward to seeing what we all come up with in the end. I found a place online that does coasters called...... coasterfactory.com which has a great amount of info available online. I got a template online and pricing. Below is the pricing chart for their Value Pack, using actual pulpboard, and with a minimum of 1,200. You can see they have 80PT (2mm thick); 60PT (1.4mm thick); 40PT (1mm thick); and 15PT (which I could not find a thickness for online.....I think this is VERY thin, and probably not much of a coaster). Coaster Factory does also offer what they call Short Run....with as small of a minimum as 25 coasters!! But they are $1 each....which includes shipping!! As opposed to the Value Pack above that if the 60PT these would be about 30cents ea.,......BUT,... does NOT include shipping in these prices. One thing to consider, is....if we want coasters (whatever they might look like) is how many we would want. Personally, I would want a few....like 4 or 6, especially if they are 30cents. I might even want a 10pk. Spent a little time trying to clean up the Logo Image on the front, and wording on the back.....is this better? .
