Need help designing your tags?

[XPureInstinctX]

I am going to help out anyone who needs idea's or editting for there designs. Though you have to give me some idea on what you want. So in order for me to give u a design that u can either use, or work off you have to tell me your 3 favourite colours and what name you want on your tags. Also include 2 images (preferably a background that you like as one and a image that you like as the second.) Eg. have a background like this - http://i53.tinypic.com/2hi2mf7.jpg

and a image like this - http://i55.tinypic.com/xftfn5.jpg


At least give me that as a bare minimum. Please try to include as many idea's as you can though to give me a better chance of making something that you like. When i am done i will include a link to the photoshop file, so you can make ur own editting to what i have already done. Enjoy

All I really want is a white background with this image from a friends tshirt company.

With my gamertag under it Blood and Beer, I've tried making it on my own with GIMP but have no experience with image editing programs and the image is kind of low res.

Im not copying the images. I am using them as a base design and expanding. Plus most of the stuff that is uploaded by randoms online is not subject to copyright and is freely available to the public to use.

[megaman116]

Hey. can i have a design to work off of? I want it to look like a zombie reaching out of the ground left4dead drawing style and with the words Undead Reach in left 4dead lettering. i am planning for my gamertag being Undead Reach. :)

[megaman116]

my 3 favorite colors are green, but i want the undead reach lettering to be white, so i can see it with the black base tag.

[megaman116]

whoops. my favorite color is green. my 3 favorites cant all be green. my second favorite is red, and i want the zombie hand to be slightly yellowish with the green.

You also have to remember that if a print was purchased then it's royalty free. Which means that you can use it for your personal needs. I've purchased a few. Threw the designs on a couple of shirts and had them silk screened.

You mean a zombie like this... I also have it at 2250x3000 pixels in case you want it.

[ShadowSociety]

So how much are those royalties in most cases?

[AcIdC0R3]

So how much are those royalties in most cases?

It all depends on the designer. Some can be expensive and some can be cheap. If you want some really kewl designs, do a Google search for royalty free designs and you'll find tons of stuff. If you want royalty free or free traditional or digital art go to DeviantART. When you email the designer ask him if you can use it on your headset tags and I say half/half will just say go ahead and use it, the other will want you to purchase a digital print. If it's outrageous how much he's asking just say no thanks and move on to the next guy. But yeah, there's tons of royalty free and outright free material out there. You just have to look for it.

Yeah but most of the stuff used for this would not be subject to copyright laws... Besides, its not copying if i make changes to it...

i think you need to understand what a copywrite is

[XPureInstinctX]

I do understand what copyright is... I actually know a LOT about it. However i can tell you now, that majority of pictures that people will use for this sort of thing are not bound by copyright, unless copied from companies or other places like that. Besides, when you get custom tags made it says they are checked to make sure it complies with copyright laws... So there is really nothing to worry about. Worst case scenario is you have to make a different tag... Not really that bad.

[SocksWthSandals]

didnt you just say its not copyright if you make changes to it?...... pretty sure the basic idea is still the same. if you take a song and change a few words in it, its still the same song someone else wrote..... no.... you know what, no...... im not going to try to explain it to you, this is just going to get bad *stands up, walks out of room*

edit- here do some reading on the 10 myths about copyright... this one relates to you (link location http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=6&sqi=2&ved=0CFgQFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.templetons.com%2Fbrad%2Fcopym yths.html&rct=j&q=copyright&ei=a9ENTfjCGpKisAPGnOTLAg&usg=AFQjCNHVSulDs4SFX1u_NXy7_S0eQKoaTA&cad=rja)

"If I make up my own stories, but base them on another work, my new work belongs to me."
False. U.S. Copyright law is quite explicit that the making of what are called "derivative works" -- works based or derived from another copyrighted work -- is the exclusive province of the owner of the original work. This is true even though the making of these new works is a highly creative process. If you write a story using settings or characters from somebody else's work, you need that author's permission.

Yes, that means almost all "fan fiction" is arguably a copyright violation. If you want to publish a story about Jim Kirk and Mr. Spock, you need Paramount's permission, plain and simple. Now, as it turns out, many, but not all holders of popular copyrights turn a blind eye to "fan fiction" or even subtly encourage it because it helps them. Make no mistake, however, that it is entirely up to them whether to do that.

There is a major exception -- criticism and
parody. The fair use provision says that if you want to make fun of something like Star Trek, you don't need their permission to include Mr. Spock. This is not a loophole; you can't just take a non-parody and claim it is one on a technicality. The way "fair use" works is you get sued for copyright infringement, and you admit you did copy, but that your copying was a fair use. A subjective judgment on, among other things, your goals, is then made.

However, it's also worth noting that a court has never ruled on this issue, because fan fiction cases always get settled quickly when the defendant is a fan of limited means sued by a powerful publishing company. Some argue that completely non-commercial fan fiction might be declared a fair use if courts get to decide.

applause for socks anyone?

[XPureInstinctX]

I'm not just making changes to a few words though. Its not a book or a piece of music either... If you are going off what you said Socks, pretty much half of youtube would get closed down... Besides i am not making a profit at all from this, so they don't really mind... Its like people remixing song's and putting them on youtube or wateva... No one really cares. And anyway, its not like the images i use, weren't going to be used anyway for the same project. Thats why people select there own images and backgrounds and stuff. Anyway lets drop the copyright subject yeah? I just wanna make people some sick tags and keep everyone happy. Sound good?

yea i want you to make sick tags too!. i personally dont care about copyright either. im with you! their just being stuck on the side of headphones that will only be seen by ourselves, and the occasional mom walking in the room visit.

just saying.... you dont know enough about copyright than what you may think you do.

[XPureInstinctX]

I know a lot more then you think... Just really can't be bothered pulling out the law books and debating it to be honest. lol...

The really small dots dont make too much difference

Actually the red seems to be a different process aside from the other colors. It seems to be actually raised a little in fact. It's a lousy picture but look at the detail of the red in mine.

Ok I'm an ass, I kept thinking since my A40s are black how much better a black version would be. But I thought that would be way too much to ask but turns out my buddy has a black version of that t shirt. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a192/HwWFailSafe/bandbblacksmall.jpg Is there anyway to get that exact image but black like this?

Keep the rifle and raven the way it is but use the linear dodge on the font. See how that looks.

I was wondering if you could help me with making my tags. I have wanted to get them done for at least a year but never found someone who would help.

I don't know exactly what I want but I have some things that I want for sure but I have a picture containing things I want. These are for Astro A40's in BXR Military Green.

1. I want my gamertag written on it. Gamertag is IRuBBeR IDucKy
2. I want the silhouette of Los Angeles City
3. The shape of California
4. This picture of a Rubber Duck that I have given a link to.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y146/JoeyLR/Duck_Tags.png?t=1293637275

Ideas: I thought about having the duck wearing a pair of A40's but not sure exactly how I would want to do that.

If you cannot help I understand as it is free after all. Thank you for your time.
