Hey Guys,
I was inspired by a talk with MarioGS to create the following "blank colored" wheel wedges. Mario told me that for his large wedges he used colored posterboard, and I got to thinking---why waste money on ink cartridge after ink cartridge, when I could buy colored cardstock from the local arts & crafts store, and simply print the wedges using only black ink. Not only would it give a smoother color to the wedges, but it would give them longer life and durability than plain paper would.
Below are my iterations---these are not final, so please feel free to tweak them, as they are not perfect. Credit for the vector numbers, and the blank wheel wedge template I used go to MarioGS, and Germanname respectively, from whom I got them from. Also, thanks to Mario for helping me install the Drop Shadow effect on Paint.NET and instructed me on how to use it.
The only thing I need to do is figure out how to create the glitter outline on the numbers, and these will be ready for the "printing press"
