demj1308 0 Posted July 6, 2014 First, im kinda new to this, so forgive me if its a stupid question. My neighbor asked me if i could make a new sticker for his boat. Not sure if this should be 3 layers, bottom being the full letters in red with the middle of the "O" solid, next is the letters in gold (slightly smaller then bottom letters) also with a solid "O", top layer is the fish and the line. Im using scal if that helps with a LP2 cutter. Or should the red outline and the fish be combined some how into 1 layer. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted July 6, 2014 Just cut the fish out of the gold. It could be two layers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

demj1308 0 Posted July 6, 2014 That sounds good, now the hard question, can this be done with scal ? Ill have to see if i can find some tutorials or something, im guessing front minus back for the knockout, then weld or combine the reds ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted July 6, 2014 You would be better served downloading a recent version of ikscape and spend your training time on that instead. You will still need SCALP to cut from but I think there may even be an inkscape plug-in. SCALP is weird and quirky and most of what you learn there will be wasted if you ever eventually upgrade to a pro cutter. The skills with inscape will be much handier to you down the road. (I am an illustrator guy and I kind of clunk around in inkscape but still give it props as the best bang for the buck vector design software out there.

demj1308 0 Posted July 7, 2014 I think i got it, did the back minus front to get the gold with the fish knocket out, then the union on the 2 reds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demj1308 0 Posted July 7, 2014 Wildgoose, thanks for the input on scal. I usually will do most of the work in corel draw, then open it in scal. Still trying to find my way around the vinyl cutting stuff, ill have to check out the program you mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCALP just doesn't lend itself to design very well compared to other programs. inkscape is free and def worth having a copy either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraphxNMore 282 Posted July 7, 2014 Something like this... Contendor.png Then layer the gold on top of the red and you're done. On;y one prollem OW, the space between the "O" & "N" shouldn't be solid red. The original graphic is open minus the tail. But you are correct, that's exactly how I would do it.
