Inspiration/advice?

[An archist]

I'm working on a sticker design, and I'm thinking something like this: but I don't really like it yet. Any advice on how to improve it?

change the black background.I used to be "passionate" with red&black backgrounds, but i realized that all my stuffs were getting a lot better in more colorful backgrounds

[An archist]

Yeah, but the black background gives it the starwars look and it fits perfectly with the masked guy.
Other colors make it look kinda crap.

Missed the star wars connection completely, have never been big fan, and dont know much, so that isnt a suprise really.

advice; vector it

no likes a pixelated sticker. can give you a hand there

[MarxSchmarx]

Looks pretty good if it's pixelated on the photobucket site, I would have guessed it's vectorized and saved as a png.

I think the design is OK, though I don't like the yellow font. And the slogan is well kind of pedestrian don't you think?

[An archist]

Yeah, the slogan is kinda cheap, I know:blushing:

So how do I vector it? (I use gimp)

You have to produce the underlying images/text in a vector program to start. If you are on a linux or windows platform use Inkscape (it's free but isn't a whole lot else). Everything except the person's face you can do pretty easily.

I suspect you might be able to find some clip art of it online, and then you just have to save the vector version of it.

i quite like it but the plural makes it weird, so i would go for just class war and then maybe make the letters like the begin story always went with the slated letters dissapearing in the back

It's great, thanks!

still needs a web address and/or email address

still needs a web address and/or email address

not when you just want to express the class war, and that "we are here". there is no need to make up an email just to put it on the sticker.i prefer stickers without such things.

when people see a propaganda item they agree with they want to do something or speak to someone to follow through otherwise its all rather impotent dont you think?
