RHINESTONES HEAT TRANSFERS DESIGN SERVICES

RHINESTONES HEAT TRANSFERS DESIGN SERVICES

I can design any pattern for you and in any specific rhinestone size you need for your transfer. Anyone that has a vinyl cutter can now cut their own templates without owning special software or a special cutter.

General Setup Guide lines:

For words, you are probably better off going with a smaller stone (SS6 or SS10) and use more of them … your designs will “read” better. Larger rhinestone sizes will require fewer stones, but will be harder to read. For Artwork, logos, etc., Please indicate Stone Size, stone placement.

Lettering in Rhinestone Transfers should be at least 1″ tall. The maximum width that can be applied to most shirts is about 8-9″…
Choose simple fonts… Block lettering is much easier to read than fancy fonts. If you must use a Script font, use a very simple one. Fancy fonts create confusion to the eye when seen as dots. Rhinestone transfers are dots of rhinestones not continuous lines.

Rough guide to number of rhinestones used:

1″ letters will use about 18-20 or so rhinestones per letter in a SS 6 Size.
1 1/2″ Letters will use about the same number in a SS 10 size.
2″ Letters will use about 25 rhinestones per letter in a SS 10 Size
More or less rhinestone can be used, the final look of the transfer is what you are after.

Rhinestone Transfer design services are based on an hourly rate of $9.00 per hour.

Who is Lord of the Vectorings

excaliburcreations — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:55:14 +0000

Welcome to my blog~!

I provide a service of converting raster / bitmap images of logos, hand sketches, designs into high quality “scalable” vectors that can be re-sized to any size for any job. I trace every job by hand using Coreldraw. There are all kinds of programs out there that can trace automatically your artwork file but they rarely ever do a good job unlike redrawing by hand by a vector artist like myself.

I am located in Lambton, Quebec in Canada. I do not outsource my work like other companies do to anyone~! Every job is hand drawn by myself.

By having me hand draw each and every job myself, you can be assured of the cutting edge of quality for every conversion. My mission is a simple one; “to provide my customers with the cutting edge of quality and design”, Also to build “a long-term relationship with my customers”. I will always try to ask as many questions as possible so that you get exactly the artwork file that you need to get the job done.

You want the artwork done your way and to your specification, no problem at all~!! With my vast hands on experience in different fields, I can produce your files for CNC Machining, Laser Engraving, Screenprinting, Vinyl Cutting & Printing, Heat Transferring and Rhinestone Motifs….. much, much more….

About Me

excaliburcreations — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:49:58 +0000

My mission is a simple one; “to provide my customers with the cutting edge of quality and design”, Also to build “a long-term relationship with my customers”.

Excalibur Creations & Recognition is home-owned and operated. I strive to offer the cutting edge of quality & design, While employing state-of-the art technologies

My name is William Desrochers and I was born and raised in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Amidst the active culture in both French and English of visual arts, music, heritage attractions and museums. I started using computers at an early age and I was always interested in computer graphics.

When I was around 17 years old, I started working at a local Corporate Jewellery-Shop. I designed championship rings, lapel pins, medallions, for a wide range of clients. (ie. Corporate, Automobile Sector, Aerospace Sector, National & Little League Sports Teams, etc..) in CAD based software as well as programmed the design to be cut with State of the Art CNC machines.

With my machinist course, I became also head-machinist working on multiple CNC Mills cutting all the dies & molds.

When I wasn’t working on/with metal/jewellery, I was designing flyers, brochures, booklets, tickets and much more. I also worked for a local Corporate Awards & Plaque-Shop designing Acrylic & Lucite Awards, as well as ran State of the Art Laser Cutter & Engravers!

During these years I started making Vinyl Graphics for Vehicles, and Signage. Working not only in the days but throughout the nights. I have also expanded into website design and spent many many hours creating custom websites, for my clients.

I edited many poor quality graphics, pixel by pixel, and the results where often acceptable unless we needed to enlarge or color separate the graphics. I started to “trace” simple logos in Corel Draw and re-typed the text. Simple graphics quickly turned into more and more complex ones and pretty soon everything was being vectored even complex fonts that we could not find.

About three years later, I decided to work as a freelance graphic designer and I started working from home.

As I continue to develop this business, I am always looking at new ways to improve your ordering experience while still keeping that contact and personal service that you have come to expect from Excalibur Creations & Recognition!

Have a good day, Eh!

Sincerely,
William Desrochers
