Anyone want to (help me) design my poker chips??

[RollaJ]

Hello,
I just ordered a set from pokerchips.com but I didnt make up artwork for the reverse sides of all the chips. I was wondering if anyone was in the mood help a brotha out and spend 5-10 minutes and design a back with my initials J.A.C. Id like either block letters or bubble letters or something like that. Maybe with some sort of image on the back as well, but only if you have some good ideas /images/graemlins/smile.gif .

I am really just looking for something quick, not too labor intensive. I just know that a few of you (SIMON) are good with this type of thing. I did pay for color printing, so lets take advantage of that.

Also if you are not too artistic but have some good ideas I can use those too, as they have a "staff artist".

Just hoping......Thanks /images/graemlins/grin.gif

If my initials were JAC I'd be going with a "Jacks" theme of some sort. Maybe take a shot of one of the jacks in the deck and (in line with your 2+2 nick) have him smokin a J.

If you wanted to get crazy you could use each of the jacks for each color, but that's probably going too far.

Just a haze induced thought.

What size is the back? I'll try and help if I can - any ideas on an image you'd like using?

One thing, really dont put too much time in.... I was thinking of using Pocket Jacks on the back(thanks to a reccomendation /images/graemlins/wink.gif), with the word " JONATHAN'S " centered running along the top, and " House Of Cards " running along the edge on the bottom.
The words I want to keep, as for what pic goes in the middle...... Ive seen what you can do, so anything you suggest is cool with me.

The diameter of the printable center is 7/8 of an inch

Although fitting, Id like to shy away from drug paraphanalia /images/graemlins/smile.gif. As I plan on having these for many years

[Simon Diamond]

Give me some time and I will try and knock out something.

Bah. Your avatar is plastered all over these forums approximately 1752 times. Maybe if you ask real nice. It would make a real nice chip and it is at least somewhat poker-related.

You should see the avatars I used to use before you registered for this site /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Kind of reminds me of Brad Pitt in one of those chick flicks he did in the 90s..... Im really looking for something simpler than that..... I think at this point I am just confused /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Remember your going to have them for a long time so you should get exactly what you want even if it takes a few extra days to decide. I agree it does get confussing.
Good luck!

[RollaJ]

Very cool, but I might have to wait to see what Simon has to say. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Slacker13]

I am waiting for a client so I have too much time on my hands. Just another idea, of course this is rough and would take someone better than I to make it look good. Maybe with a nice colorful background. Ah, what do I know.

[Simon Diamond]

Is that what you would be after? the text running around the edge, with a pair of jacks in the centre?

I cannot find any decent pics of a pair of jacks and for some reason don't have a single deck of cards to hand! Could use some off an online game or the like, but they might look a little tacky - not sure whether you want a classy or modern look.

I like this one. The jacks would be cool too, but I don't know how you'd work in the JAC without it getting too busy.

[RollaJ]

Slacker thats AWESOME, I really like the clean look to it, seems kind of classy if you will /images/graemlins/grin.gif........ the only problem is that on the fronts of the $1, $5, $25, and $100 chips I used a different suit for each, so I really dont want to put Clubs on all of them /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

BTW......What program did you do that on?

Thank you. I use photoshop 7.0.
A good artist or maybe if I really thought about it could devise a way to use clubs on every chip yet still make the denominations look different. Even though I own a web design company I am not real artistic, I have people who I sub all the design work out to. I will play with it though. If Simon is artistic he may understand what i am trying to say.

[Simon Diamond]

God Mike, you're too good.

I like Googles suggestion -

<font color="red">Did you mean:</font> <font color="blue">jack off clubs</font>

Simon

This is my pick:

You could call your cardroom JAC's Happy Dance Girly-man House of Cards. It's a winner.

edit: I just noticed that girl has a tail... WTF is going on here? On second thought, you might not want to use this image - I'm not sure what kind of crowd you're going to attract or if you're going to want to be hanging out with them.
