My First Tag

Let me know what you think about it. This is the very first one right off the press(in every sense of the phrase).

Tex...Looks good but here in Texas we have to have the state issued license plate on the front bumper.

Is there a reason why the color looks monotone? Maybe a little more contrast would be the ticket.

Trust me, in Plano DMV rules are fairly strictly observed. I usually put stuff like that in my tack room, garage, or even on the horse trailer. I've seen some on the dash or on the back glass.

I knew one guy(friend of my mom's) that didn't run a front tag though on his Honda sportscar. Never did get ticketed for it(atleast not to my knowledge), but he actually lived in Dallas not in Plano though. Plano cops can really be a pain at times.

Although, apparently it done the same way out in California as well with regard to the front tag. I actually had an order for that license plate, which is way a SoCal design was on my first one and he wasn't aware of the front tag issue and he lives out there. Although apparently they are a little more lax about that out there as more people don't have a front tag. I guess they don't want the camera to get a full frontal of their tags.

I was working off a design that was already done by someone else. There is more contrast then actually shows up in that picture though. Between the angle of the shot and my photoshop cropping skills to post in the forum, it takes something out of the picture.

Well I can always try to get something done on the license plate frames, that would atleast be something.

I also got the rest of my equipment in, which means now I can actually do coffee mugs and steins now(20 and 22 oz).

I can do a lot of little things thru sublimation as well now.

Plate frames, by the letter of the law, cannot extend down low enough to cover any portion of the word Texas, which doesn't give you much room to work with, either.

You're right, about the only thing that I can do is text, I wouldn't be able to do the chapter design. Or I could do some basic gradient pattern or other design that doesn't take up a lot of space.

I don't have a solvent printer. The large format printer I have is a pigment printer. Unless you know of a vinyl that would work with a pigment printer. I can get my hands on a roll on laminate for it.
