Spray "effect" Print

Post by Kenshi »

A BIG Hello to Catspit & People,

I'm new to this great Forum, so thought I'd introduce myself with a question...Apologies if it's in the wrong section?!

So I'm looking to create a design based around some Printed Lettering onto a Garment...But I want to give the impression the Lettering has been Sprayed onto the Garment?? [like from a Spray-Can]

Should I be looking to produce this effect on the PC or can this effect be recreated during the Print process??

I normally use CorelDraw for Artwork development and Print via a 6 x Color Rotary using Plastisol Inks.


Best Wishes.

One easy way to create an effect that might be what you are after is by creating a rectangle using the rectangle tool. Then fill it with a texture fill and place your text inside it. Bring the text to the front and power clip the texture into the text.

Hey ApeShirt,

Many Thanks for the reply.

I will have a play around using that method and see what results it offers.

Regards.

Hello KI,

Very nice Greg thanks. I don't know much about Corel.

You could use a masking filter or you may also be able to use a font. I always do a search for free fonts when I need stuff like that. You never know when you’ll find something perfect.

I did this Google search “free spray paint font download” and found these:

Here are other sites to search for free fonts and graphics:

Fontspace looks pretty cool. I may have to add it to my list ;)
