Sylvester Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Well knock me ouit with a tin spoon...I think i've had an idea... how about the same design i had with that florin in the background (kinda like a watermark), with william's smaller pictures (perhaps replacing the florin one for another coin of choice). That way you'd have the florin in the background (slightly fainter than it is now), and the smaller pictures exactly as William has done them? Quote
Edward Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) This looks good... I would have a few suggestions to offer:1. The C's still a bit smaller, and a softer font. "Great Britain" and "2005 Edition" each on one line.2. The price smaller (in terms of point size; Chris, what about the final price?), in the upper right-hand corner.3. I still like having the portraits of the coins uncovered.I like Sylvester's idea in principle about the watermark etc but am wondering if the cover is going to be getting cluttered. Of the pictures we've seen to date, I still like the one on his cover best. Edited July 14, 2004 by Edward Quote
Sylvester Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Only one thing i'd change... 'Collector's Coin', could you change the 'ollector's oins' bit to lower case? I think it just makes it easier to read...I tried both upper and lower in my attempts, the lower were the best i thought. Quote
Sylvester Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Perhaps the rotographic banner would look better at the top? Cos you've got both rotographic's (web address and the banner) directly next to each other... i think i'd be better with one at the top and one at the bottom. Quote
Edward Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 No, the banner is excellent at the bottom. And I agree with Sylvester, lower case for the "ollectors oins". Quote
Sylvester Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 alright put the web addy at the top then, it appeared to me it was all happening at the bottom of the page...Most people look at the top half first though i thought. Quote
Edward Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 Well, that's a point. But I feel that the banner anchors the page. Quote
william Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Here is another one. Chris i have tried to get it to 300dpi, but how do you get it to A5 size? Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 The designs are getting much better, keep it up! Quote
Sylvester Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I'm wondering where to try putting the other pics on too, but i'll let you see this first, this better? Quote
william Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Sylvester i really like that. Theres only a few things. Where you have the writing on the coin, it looks a bit fainter. Also, i dont see the point of utting latest edition on it. And could you put on the fact that its British non-gold coins fom 1797 onwards?? Quote

Oh yeah it used to say British non - gold but i put the banner over it, i'll sort that out...It is fainter on purpose but i can darken it up.And the latest edition bit is only temporary, it should be changed to 32nd edition, but at the time when i did it i didn't know what edition we were on. Hence why it says what it does... Quote
william Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I have had another go, combining mine and Sylvesters ideas. Btw, is it Collector's Coins, or Collectors' Coins. I have totally left it out cos i dont know.... Also, do you think it looks good with just the florin, or do you think we should put something modern on as well? Quote

Sylvester Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I still prefer the gothic to the godless... Quote
Sylvester Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Chris' poor bandwidth (i'll delete some of my previous attempts shortly, i'll have to) Quote
william Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Thankyou for the picture of that florin, i was searching everywhere for that picture!!!! Quote
Sylvester Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Thankyou for the picture of that florin, i was searching everywhere for that picture!!!! You can shrink it, lighten it, darken it, bluify it, greenify it, pinkify it... anything you think.It was on the PCI (Season one grand finale bit...)Do you want a big picture of the 1997 £2 coin too?If so see here...http://www.coinpeople.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4400 Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Don't wory too much about the bandwidth, as this is an 'exclusive' area, not many people get to see it, and it is for the good of the project.Is it Collectors' Coins, or is it Collector's Coins.....I don't know, my English was always crap, didn't Geoff say it should be Collectors' Coins?? Quote
Sylvester Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 You know what's so good about these two coins?1) The florin was bought off of Chris.2) The £2 was sold to Chris.So both were both mine and Chris' at one point or other... Which is why i thought they were pretty fitting coins to use.Next year perhaps it'd be time for a Wreath crown? Quote

Yes i think it should... i dunno why i put it the other way...tor's signifies one collector and their coins....tors' signifies many collectors and their coins.So it should be the latter. Quote

Yes, I had spotted the link, and It'll be good to say on the inside...'Cover pictures: Florin sold by prececimal.com, £2 sold by Predecimal.com on the date....blah, blah. Quote
Sylvester Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 We think alike Chris... Non stop plugging right down the line... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Well you have to don't you, no one cares as much about your business ventures as yourself, and if you don't try your hardest to promote them, no one else will. Quote
