Design a BRL-CAD Sticker #15BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Hardeep Singh Rai, Gauravjeet SinghTags: artwork, concept, photoshop, design, sticker

This task involves designing a BRL-CAD sticker. Make it look good, something you'd be proud to give to all of your friends and family, something you'd put on your laptop or phone case. Look over some great sticker designs before starting to work on this, including the other completed GCI sticker designs by others.

Simple is good. Using our formal (the three circles) or informal (moose antlers) logo is great. Please avoid any military theme (no tanks!), do not use our old eagle logo, but do put a dash in BRL-CAD. If you use the three circle gear logo, the centers should be white and it must be 300dpi high quality -- use one of the vector versions submitted as a GCI task here or search around for one.

There is no bound shape for the shape of the sticker. It can be rectangular, circular, or even irregular shaped. The only thing that matters is that it look really cool.

Submit your artwork in any file format, but with transparency or dimension settings so we can print them properly. (png, xcf, or psd work well). Give your name so we can credit you if you like as well and join our brlcad-news mailing list to hear if we use your sticker design.

Make it look awesome. LOOK at some of the completed ones and make yours look even better. :-)

I like this design!  Please also submit your raw working files (PSD, XCF, AI, whatever you used) too and make for review.  What font is that?


Thanks!

Hey Ekansh,
I hope you are enjoying BRL-CAD tasks. Design is nice but I would like to see a different font (may be something simpler sans-serif such as Lato or Open Sans). Then also try writing "open source solid modeling" beneath BRL-CAD. Also in the raw file you submitted there's only one layer, the purpose of raw file is to have multiple layers so that we can edit something later, so please have raw file with different layer for logo, background and text. 


Thanks

Sean on December 7 2014 05:52 UTClayers needed

Ekansh, I agree that layers are needed that separate each design element.  Especially if you add byline text or try different fonts, keep them in separate layers.  I rather like the font you selected for this design without a byline myself, but having each aspect in a separate layer will let us decide on how to proceed.


Very nice work!  Thank you for your efforts.
