I have an idea for a theme - now what?

[Sarge85]

I think I have an idea picked out for some custom chips.

Now what?

Gather clip art for the art work?
Is there software for this sort of thing? I tried Dolphin's product, but can't seem to get a serial number to register.

DO you design your own, or send your ideas to someone?

It all depends on what company you're going to go through. Are you doing labels? Are you doing Chipco's? ASMs?

I got Chipco's through homepokerchips.com - and I started by going to clipart.com - getting some ideas there, and then writing out a two page word document trying to explain my thoughts (theme). It's a back-and-forth from there until you and the artist are on the same page.

not labels

adobe illustrator is what most folks use. there are no templates, really, just do it on your own.

from there, hire homepokerchips.com if you want ceramic, or pokerchips.com if you want clay.

good luck.
