V-MODA Shield Design Discussion

Yeah, the Ibanez bodies are so well made and also light and rounded at the right spots to hold them comfortable.
 
For the V-Moda shields I did many designs and used an internet randomizer for me to pick which ones to chose :D I am glad how they turned out and there are many people asking me about where I bought the V-Modas on the street.

I sent you the PSD file. It has both shields, there are separate layers for each side. Just send that through with your order.

Wow those are amazing... I am going to buy my M100 with custom shields soon. I was experimenting with photoshop and whatnot, but you have just given me a whole new dimension to work with:shading. How did you do that? just greyscale an image and it will turn out like that?

In Photoshop I create a black and white adjustment layer over the image. Then play with the colour sliders to adjust the luminance of each colour to how I want it.

Will something like this be adequate?

Or does it have to be more like this?

Or even darker than that?

Hey folks. I'm a total noob when it comes to graphics. I wanted to use this font.




 
The issue is that I don't have PS. I'm downloading PS Elements 12 currently which is a testversion. So I hope thats the right version. Is that logo good as it is to use? I would love to put some effects on it, but I'm not sure how to do it. Like I don't want a plain E but also with a slick background.
 
Maybe someone with graphic skills might help me out?

My only critique is the art looks kind of low-res. Is that because you stretched out a low-res or shrunk down a high-res to get it to fit? Do you have a link to the original pic?

I think it is because i stretched it out( i am just a noob at photoshop).

Seems like the pic overall is low resolution. Or is it just me?
