I'm working on a schedule of events to make sure we all have a good time at this meet.
I think its important to cover these topics at the meet:
Photography: setting up a workable in shop studio to take pictures of products, people , animals, whatever to make Edge prints for POP displays, truck lettering, and yada yada yada. I do a lot of "yada"
Working with images in Corel Photo Paint or Adobe Photshop to tweek them to acceptable appearence and size.
How to remove blemishes, fix teeth, and remove wrinkels in a persons face before you print their picture 4 foot tall and slap it on the box truck and realize....they are ugly! oops!
-----------
We build monument signs, work with acrylic stucco, and we should cover how to design and build these with Edge printed images blended into the design of the monument sign.
-------------
Faux painting....I do rock really well. Latex paints on HDU or Polystyreen or even on MDO! Tips and tricks on using paints to make a neat background, photgraphing it, and using it in an Edge Print!
--------------
Banners the blow the competition away! And where to get huge ones printed from your files...cause there is a company right behid our shop that has four huge billboard printers and some smaller inkjets. ------------------------
Effective use of using a WACOM drawing tablet to tweek up your stuff, digitize and created new art work.
------------------------
Lunch, ......got to fit lunch in some where....there are tons of restaurants just down the street...all your favorites including Cracker Barrel, Steak & Shake, Culvers, KFC, SUBWAY, you know the usual Interstate exit mix.
And, we should cover reverse printing, overprinting, and double sided printing on clear. I have NEVER done those things yet... so I need some help in that area. or I got to learn it real fast.
--------------------
Pricing........Dale at PRICE IT is sending a program to the meet. We'll explore it together!
-------------------
If anybody has OMEGA 2 on a LAPTOP, that would bring it to the meet, that would make the day!
