Title: Photoshop Wizards - Help!
Post by: PhoenixRisen on December 05, 2008, 02:46:12 AM
If possible, can I get one of our resident Photoshop guys to have the motto "PARATUS ET FIDELIS" as well as "ESCONDIDO CADET SQUADRON 714" inscribed on this?

I did it myself originally, using a trial version of Photoshop, but it has since expired on me (and I don't have the funds to renew it, nor the memory as to how to do it anymore).  The font I originally used (I believe) was Arial, bold-style (not the larger "Arial Black" font).  I'd like it to be in the same burgundy color (I think that's what it's called) as the outer border.

Here's the original text:

Lastly, if it wouldn't be too difficult, I'd like to see two versions of it.  One with the squadron name on top / motto on bottom, and the other, vice-versa.

Thanks!

Phoenix - I'm the one who did the art and I have the original layers, all you had to do is ask.

If its not done this evening I'll knock it out both ways in the morning.

(by the guidelines the motto should be on top, but I will do it both ways.)

Oh, I remember, sir, and I'm ever greatful.  I didn't realize that it would be any different if you were just adding text or you were the original one who created the art in the first place.  (Again, why I'm not the sharpest with photoshop, etc.)

I know the motto's supposed to go on top, but I'm doing this at the request of my commander.

Thanks again!

They look great!  I just spoke to my commander over the phone, and we'll go with the one that meets the USAF guidelines.

Thanks again, sir!  I can't tell you how much we (and our squadron as a whole) appreciate this)!
