Did this design for some cut vinyl that will go into our new Ministry Center. Will be black vinyl on a yellowish tan wall. Will take a photo once it's up.
Design went through three sketched versions before I landed on something that started to look right to me. All told, the design took more than 20 hours (including the 4 hour sketching time) and I enjoyed each second. Am so glad that I've got Adobe Illustrator to help me digitize the sketch into a vector format - that would've been a bear to do if I'd have had to do all of those points and curves by hand. As it was, I traced the cleaned up sketch scan in illustrator and then got rid of zillions of extra anchor points as I refined it. First version of the trace had girly ribbons with outlines that would've been really difficult to lay in cut vinyl but, the thickened lines aren't too terrible - we'll see how the printer does with it and how much of a monster it is to install.
