slice&dice 2,451 Posted June 19, 2013 I know a guy who runs a carnival, he wants to put up notice signs about the dates of his amusement fair, and asked for a ferris wheel graphic. I know that a ferris wheel is a PITA to weed, with the intricate structure of the frame, so I've invented/created one that seems a bit easier to deal with (although it's going to be three-colors). Anyone have feedback/suggestions on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted June 19, 2013 Depending upon the number of signs you have to produce, it may be worth your while to connect that red inner star pattern to the red outer scallops it would save some weeding. Same goes for the yellows on either side of the red scallop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted June 19, 2013 I like it. It's got a childlike carnival feel to it. Got my vote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mx377 2 Posted June 19, 2013 Here is one that we use for one of our carnivals. The space in the ferris wheel is where there name goes. Carnival.eps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,451 Posted June 19, 2013 Depending upon the number of signs you have to produce, it may be worth your while to connect that red inner star pattern to the red outer scallops it would save some weeding. Same goes for the yellows on either side of the red scallop. Not sure I understand what you're saying ---- by leaving them unconnected, then I can pop the entire thing apart in one swoop around. In fact, I was actually going to leave more room between the scallops and the circle, for that very reason. If I connect them, I'll have to go into each spoke and pick out the segments, and pick out the scallops too. What am I missing here? BTW, the .eps provided by mx377 was interesting, but not eye-catching enough for this guy. Currently, he's PRINTING his notice signs, and I offered to do them with a vinyl cutter, so I cannot give him something too dull. This ferris I have made seems kinda cool, and says "FUN" (thanks for the encouragement, jaybird, that was the feel I was shooting for) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimnAng 56 Posted June 19, 2013 Not a fan of the "carriages" themselves... a little too plain, IMO. The rest looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xpaperman 719 Posted June 19, 2013 Not a fan of the "carriages" themselves... a little too plain, IMO. The rest looks good. I agree, something just doesn't look right. For one, they are not all lined up the same.... the outside left and right for one are off.... might want to think about those a little bit but I do like the yellow and red.

skarekrow 1,842 Posted June 19, 2013 Gotcha, Slice... I was looking at it 'backwards'. Must be my bedtime. So, other than the small pieces to weed here & there, looks like you've got it pretty efficient. Yeah, re-re-read my other post... that's it for me for today.

MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted June 19, 2013 See if you can get them printed I know there's a couple of guys that do it on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted June 19, 2013 That's not a bad job to layup but print would be cheaper. Guess it depends on how many and whether you've got time or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,451 Posted June 19, 2013 He wants about 20 a week, I can handle it with my SC cutter. I have the time. This is what I do, turning vinyl into cash. I feel a bit like Rumplestiltskin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted June 19, 2013 Some people think anything more than 1 color should be printed, I tend to like the look and durability of cut vinyl. That and I don't own a printer... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
