Hey everyone, Sonic suggested throwing a thread in here for a bit of help.


I'm trying to make a stencil for a cutout I plan to do in the side of a case I'm working on(One of the two shown in my picture if my picture exists)

I drew a crappy version of what I want, but I suck with making things not suck, so i was wondering if someone could do a little photoshop editing or even paint editing or something to help out someone who kind of sucks at it.

I've got the picture I drew,
http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j83/Castro897/?action=view¤t=Image001.jpg

All, straight lines, in a 6" by 6" box, just a big X in the middle, and a square A and E on either side to make a not too gay looking AXE(My gaming alias for the most part)


Any help would be loved, or if you're feeling creative and have any suggestions I'd love to hear any suggestions. I'm just going to be using a hand jigsaw though, so anything that's not straight lines probably won't work to well, and having space between the letters or having them touching/slightly overlapping doesn't really matter as either way they'll have some connection to the case.


Thanks a ton,
Castro

It looks alright, and I'll photoshop out a clean version for you, but I have to say, there will be a problem with the A. As with most steniclled works, the triangle in the upper half of the A will have to be connected some how.

Any ideas on how you want that done?

I'm actually planning on keeping it all square so It'll be a square in the top hanging, like it's on a generic lcd display where A and R are the same crappy shape, but I'm going to have it cut out of the case side, and then have plexiglass behind it, so I'm just going to put the square cutout lined up on the plexiglass itself so there doesn't need to be anything connecting it to the rest.

That's pretty much perfect except I'd like the X thicker, to the point that its close to or is touching the A and E, but that much I can do with just keeping the outlines.


Thanks a ton, it would come out with crap if I tried doing it lol.

Definitely liking the kind of reserved solid thick line thing you're doing Kattwah, maybe with a slightly thicker and larger A and E, or even blown up a little bit and being over the main section of the window rather than the tumor towards the front lol.
