Friends;
I'm jacked up over this app and plan to use it for my hobby, which is model car building; mostly 1:25 scale plastic kits. I will be attempting to make my own decals with PDN. To start; I'm building an 88 Dodge Daytona. Check it out! I airbush automotive urithane on the bodies and use enamals for the trim.
(I made the interior guages & related stuff with PDN. I didn't know what I was doing, but had fun and it didn't come out half bad!)
Now, I need to make two insignia's; one that is the "Dodge" text logo and the other is the word "Daytona" in similar font.
I can find Dodge logo's all day online. Here's one I found and saved in PDN:
When I try to minimize it while keeping it real clean and crisp, things aren't going so well. I've been opening in PDN and simply reducing by percent. How can I do a better job? I need this thing to be about .25 inches wide.
As for the "Daytona" ingsignia, I've got to make that one from scratch. I tried a few things; like going into word and making one with the closest font I can find and reducing to 5pt. Then, I copied and pasted in PDN, but again, the image loses quality; it's not as sharp edged and clean looking; kind of blury and as I reduce in PDN, things get worse.
I'm sure that I'm probably doing several things wrong. Anyone have some advice on how I can do a better job with both tasks?
