I am practicing Sam's lettering and monogram (on-demand) systems.
Project: A practice plate of a Buck knife(GRS Pattern 063/R. Smith) full length scale. This pattern has a area in the middle which would be nice to have an initial or monogram.
My logic, which maybe questionable, was to scan this pattern into Adobe Illustrator and apply an initial using the method Sam used on his banjo illustration in the Adobe Illustrator Lettering for "Bending Text".
1st problem - Scan was saved as a JPEG image. When I opened it in Adobe Illustrator it gave me an image that was jagged(rastor) rather than smooth clean lines. I need to save this image is some file extension that saves the image as a vector image with clean sharp lines.
The end result is to have a initial/monogram set up as a laser ink transfer ready to be transferred to practice plate.
This is probably the first of several "problems" I may run into but I hope someone familiar with these programs can help me.
