AFF Luggage tags

[munitalP]

Hi everyone - after the poll closed, we were 62 for, 4 against having AFF luggage tags.

Obviously everyone has their own ideas on what a tag should look like and reading the comments on the Poll, I have noted the following:

• Good design a must
• People are willing to pay for good quality tags
• Status, name or other details are not wanted on tags

As I have mentioned in the Poll thread, I tracked down the manufacturers of the QFF luggage tags and have pricing from them. They can supply a kit similar to the QFF kit with a tie band and packaging if wanted!

Anyway, design first of all - all you budding artists out there or anyone with a copy of photoshop, have a go at a design - we can prob' make something from a mosaic of everyones thoughts, or we may just stumble across a design everyone (well most at least) like

Please us the following design template as it is sized right for the tags

Anat0l, can you save your ideas as .jpg files, photobucket them and post - cheers!

Mr!

Re: AFF Luggage tags - some ideas

Great news everyone!

ADMIN has thrown his might, his wisdom and is financially behind the project for the AFF luggage tags and has offered to help financing the project based upon a couple of rules: (thanks ADMIN!)

1. Our design which is accepted for production must include the web address of AFF and final approval will be based on the web address being on the tag
2. We set a point in the future (2 or so weeks) where we look at to see if this is a self funding project or a failure cost wise - if it is a failure and we cannot raise a fair portion of the costs within the set period, we will can the project and any monies collected will be refunded (remembering that ADMIN is financially supporting the difference)
3. We will operate through a PayPal account I have set up so there is easy means to refund monies if the project is a flop

We have set the cost of the tags to include postage, envelope, PayPal transaction fees and their commission as well. The set cost per TAG which includes elastic string thing and postage is: $6.10 each.

I am sure there will be some who don't want to use PayPal for whatever reason, please contact me direct and I will try and facilitate another method of accepting payment - the price of the Tags will remain the same however.

Payments.

To gauge success or failure, we will look at the commitment of the AFF members in purchasing Tags. From now until 2359hrs on Sun 07 Feb 2010 will be our measure. You can pre-purchase your tags at AFF Luggage tag purchases .We need as many Tags pre-purchased as possible to ensure this project is a success. Please buy now and buy lots!

The proposal for Tag design.

I will accept by email, designs based using the "front and rear" template available at www.kennys-adventures.com/AFF/PC103.pdf right up until 1700hrs Sunday 24th Jan.

PM me if you don't have my email address.

At 1700hrs Sunday, I will create a POLL on AFF where over the next 48 hours, members can vote on the design they want. If you vote, it will be assumed you are buying!

The winning entry assuming it meets all criteria (AFF Logo, Web Address) will posted as the winning entry and by whom!

Any questions?

Get designing and get buying everyone, and again, a HUGE thanks to ADMIN for the massive financial help he has put forward to this project. To say thanks, the least we could all do is sign up as a silver or gold member of AFF!

Mr!

Re: AFF Luggage tags - some ideas

Im having a boreing Sunday with no laser pointer to play with oops and all, so I dusted off photoshop and have been playing with a few designs - please people, have a go, get the template from www.kennys-adventures.com/AFF/PC103.pdf its a bit of fun and your design may end up being "the one" we all use...

#1 - AFF colours

#2 - Same but in a barker blue

#3 - I was feeling a little Leonardo... (and thats not a small Greek man thank you very much!)

#4 - I added the Southern Cross to the design

Just some ideas...

Mr!

This one works for me the most, but I don't really like the URL bit on the back in the gold. What about this for an idea (bearing in mind my complete lack of anything resembling 'shop skills..)?

Aside from that, I also quite liked the "barker Blue"

For those who don't like the word "member", how about this option?

GUys and Gals

kennys-adventures.com

is the address of lots of tags - if you design one (notzac for instance), please upload it to that site.

Remember, if you are going to design a tag, have the capability of making it 300DPI and being able to save it in a print format such as .psd. Usually .jpg extensions are no good for the printer!

Ladies, Gentlemen and other sentient beings,

Voting has now closed - the design preferred by most AFF members (of those who registered to vote) is:
Design 1, remix 2 - kennys-adventures.com

How was the winner decided?

Two sets of figures were used - number of votes and average rating, the latter being the more important. To ensure that images with a small number of total votes didn't skew the results, the top 5 by number of votes were "shortlisted", then the average rating for each was assessed. Here is the top 5 by votes with their corresponding average rating:

[b]Design			Rating[/b]
two			3.85
One			3.50
Design 1, remix 2	4.06
Design 1, remix 1	3.73
four			2.59

Timeframe and details for printing and delivery will follow in a later post!
