Custom Clay Compression Artwork- Round One

co35fire · #81 (**permalink**) 05-09-2008, 01:15 PM

I really like the Siesta theme so far, simple and lots of color!

I do have one suggestion though, how about a card room theme? We all come here because we love poker chips and playing cards, so how about a table w/ lots of chips and cash w/ a old tavern kind of background?

I have zero artistic ability, so if this idea interests anyone take it and run!

I do wish I had the creative talent of some of the folks here, great job on the designs so far!

These look good, they could use a little work though. They don't look as good as bmwguy525's " The Beach" chips. I really like those.

great idea! If we could keep it fairly simple (not too busy) I think it is pretty generic to the folks on this site at least...

The two that stick out right now are your Regalia design which could make for an interested shaped inlay look and your First Friday Poker League design. Neither is too theme driven either.

Thanks, appreciate the comments

I think the key here is that, since there's so much color in the chips themselves with the huge double edgespots on these chips, there needs to be a color match on the inlay to some extent to help differentiate the chips when in play on table.

Here's a simple generic four-suit, gold text inlay, but with a light color matched inlay.

With a pure white inlay it gets so hard to distinguish the different Wallsons just because there's so much color per chip base.

Just throwing this out as an idea, but what about a play off of the Titanic as a theme? The Titanic was owned by the White Star Line. Someone with artistic talent could use the following image as a starting point. No copyright issues as this is in the public domain in the United States.

Maybe the White Star Line Casino? or White Star Line Poker Cruise?

**EDIT**
color match the suits to the edgespots

changed name and added black background
