Kallisti sticker

[whatnotery]

Well I designed a sticker that I'm going to put up around my city and thought I'd share

it was designed for use with avery 8163 mailing label sheets but feel free to resize it or really do anything you want with it

[Cramulus]

bad ass! I've got a few pages of 8163 lying around, I'll throw these in the hopper. 

[Doktor Howl]

Very nice.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

That's pretty awesome! Would make a good business card thingie too.

[hooplala]

Very very nice.

[whatnotery]

Thanks for all the input everybody

[Iason Ouabache]

I don't like the colors, but what do I know about designing stuff?

the only thing I'd add though, is my number

I don't like the colors because there's not enough contrast. Due to the inevitable variation between printing devices it's best to err on the side of a bit too much contrast rather than not enough.

I do like the yellow tone and grey-purple in theory, but I think the yellow needs more electricity.

Stickers are supposed to catch your eye, right? Amidst all the other images competing for your attention, I think this color scheme could easily be missed. And maybe that's okay, making it all the more exclusive for the few who do notice it, or it could just be placed more carefully so it stands out nonetheless.

There's other issues IMO, but I'll hold off on those unless whatnotery REALLY wants HORRIBLE, CRITICAL feedback.

I'm quite fond of the colors, but I'm looking at it with a colorist's eye and not a printer's eye.

Well, at least he didn't use Arial, right? 

The colors don't bother me on-screen, but with an inkjet chances are the purple would bleed into the gold. Not a huge deal though. I highly doubt the OP is a graphic designer.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

I like it.
Also, the colors are soft enough on my sensitive eyes so it doesn't scream when I look at it.
True it could easily be missed by some, but it's just the type of thing I would pay attention to.

You know, I really think the whole Arial thing was a rude lesson that I needed to learn. I was too bogged down with other shit at the time to properly absorb it.

I quite like the on-screen colors too, it's just that on-screen colors are purely hypothetical for a printed piece unless your screen is regularly calibrated to your printer or if you're using a color matching system. I doubt any two of us are looking at the same colors. The more subtle the distinctions between the colors, the more likely they are to print out difficult to read or just plain illegible. On-screen yellows and greens often fall outside the printing color gamut which wastes peoples time and money, something I imagine most people cannot afford at the moment. With just a bit more distinction between the values, the problem is completely avoided.

It's simple to adjust with fancy software but could be a huge pain in the ass for those without.

Very cool!  I bought some P1 (full page) sticker sheets the other day. Was just waiting for something nice to print up.
