    Anybody make PDF files?

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if anybody could make up a banner design and save it as a PDF so I can go to Staples and have them make the banner. Here is what I would like it to include:

    Firebird Club Logo...

    http://www.mifbody.com/vbulletin/vbp...do=full&p=1471


    Large Text Title (Michigan Firebird Club)

    Also maybe a quote or something to the degree of Est. 2006.

    I would attempt it myself but I think there is a lot more talent in this group than I possess. Also I don't have and publication / photo editing software.

    I would like to see what ideas we can come up with. If I can get a desing soon enough I'll have it printed and bring it to our first meeting next sunday and then to each event the group attends.

    Thanks!

    -Ben

    P.S.

    The standard size for a banner of this sort is 2' X 5'. It will cost $7/ square foot. I will also work on some other items we will require such as name tags / badges and some other things.

    I'll jump right in it. What size to you need the file itself? Does it have to fit on a sheet of paper?

      I'm not sure of file size, I don't think it will matter. This design will end up on a 2 foot by 5 foot vinyl sheet banner. What happens is I submit a design to Staples copy center, I pay for the banner uprfront, they send it to a third party company, they have it for a few days and then send it back and I pick it up. So if we can get a design that looks good fast enough I can ship it off and have it ready for our meeting. Kind of a brick in the foundation if you know what I mean.

      P.S. David if you or any of the other guys have any ideas for an agenda for the meeting besides eating and meeting people let me know and I will get to work organizing it. Thanks!

        I have been talking with Steve (sping012) and I am going to see if he could have a website concept for the meeting. If he can't make it to the meeting i may have to present it for him.

          That sounds great David! Maybe some of the other guys will chirp in with some ideas before long. Keep me posted on the Banner design people!

            Yep, I'll have the concept done. I still need to email you the site banner David.

              Here is a real simple banner. I was unsure how much detail would be allowed by the print company. Is this being done on vinyl or paper?

                Vinyl.

                It appeared that you could have quite a lot of detail from the other examples I've seen. They are closed today so I'll probably take that in tomorrow.

                Any way I can get that in a PDF Format? They will only accept PDF or else I would have to pay $30 more to have they design company convert it from Jpg to PDF.

                  Yeah, that is no problem geting it into PDF. I was just using JPEG as proofs, so that it is easyer to view on the site. If you like that design i can go ahead and put it to PDF, otherwise tell me what else you would like on there and I will add it before I export the PDF.
