What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

No problem. Do you want anything on the second line (city, etc)???

This is a request for Imtooexcitedtosleep -

Tom,

Would you be able to make two of your DCL oval 'magnets' for me and my daughter? Please!

I'd like the 'Where Dreams Come True' format. My name is Cindy and my daughter is Kristen.

I'm just getting into this 'board' thing and found out about the door magnets. I'm starting to collect some images but have no idea how to update names, etc.

Thanks in advance for your time. I really appreciate it.

Cindy

Here you go:

Tom,

I've read people asking you to do magnets. Is that for the door? I'm new to Disney cruising. We are going on the first one to Mexico in May. Can you tell me more about your magnets? I'm trying to figure out what to do for the doors?

Thanks

Margaret

There are a lot of people on this thread (and other threads) that will be happy to help you with magnets. I created a couple of name badge graphics and I'm happy to customize them for anyone that asks.

My PhotoShop abilities, however, are rather limited.

While most of these graphics were created to be used as door magnets (as the doors are metal and DCL frowns on tape on the doors), I'm sure they can be used for other things. I'm planning on making shirts for our cruise with the name tag graphics.

You may be able to see the pictures if you right click on them and copy the URL into a different window. Hope it works. I don't know why they aren't showing up now.

Tom- Your nametags are absolutely fantastic! You are so kind to make these for all the dis'ers. Would it be possible for you to make some for me? I would really appreciate it, and I know my kids would be so excited with their own name tags. We are taking my parents too, and I would love to surprise them with the magnets.

The second line would be Cypress, TX

Thanks a million!

Great job, love the shadow effect! How did you do the shadow and where did you get the background?

I absolutely love this one. Would it be possible for me to get one with nothing on it so I can try to do one myself

Sandy - here's my first attempt at a door sign in this nutty Photoshop Elements using the adorable "mouse family" as I like to call 'em. Had to get some technical help from DH here & there...I still got some bugs to work out but I didn't think it came out TOO bad! I am hoping it will get faster as I go?! Thanks again for pointing me to the family images!

What is the possibility of having one done without Our "WONDERful" cruise Dec 11, 2008. Also without the cats. Or could you tell me how to do wone on my own, that way I can add the proper amount of people and kids per door for our family reunion cruise. I will need 3 with just 2 adults. ! with 2 adults and 3 kids. One with 2 adults and 2 kids. One with 3 adults and 1 kid. Help me if you can so I can do these. I will understand if you can't but I truly love these and they would be perfect to surprise everyone on their door with. Your design is great

I wish I could do this with my printshop program, but I don't think it will allow me to crop the white background out. If I tried to put the people on a nice background like yours they would be in white boxes.

I am flattered you like my sign but I'm afraid I am NOT an expert at this yet. I just got this Photoshop Elements 6 about 2 or 3 weeks ago & am still blundering my way thru it. It didn't come with any instructions so I went out & bought a book (537 pages - it's more like a textbook. I have so many pages marked already! )

ANYWAY, I honestly don't remember exactly where I found this background pic but I will post it in it's orig. form (it was buried somewhere inside of another folder out there on the internet somewhere). It actually had a real family in it already so I pasted the Mom, Dad and little boy figures over top of them. It lended a lot of creativity to what I had to work with that way. I put the Mom & Dad very close to each other to cut down on the amount of the color cloning (touch up work) that had to be done (adding the surf inbetween their legs & the ocean inbetween their heads). Added the cats & created shadows for them (cloned the color from the existing shadows) and added mouse ears to the boys shadow. Then got rid of that one arm on the right side of the shadow that was sort of sticking out by cloning the sand over top of that. Then of course I just added the text in another layer.

I will also post the reversed images that Zandy provided the link to...but I didn't do the little girl or the princess 'cuz I didn't need them. (Used Paint.NET to do the reversing.)

And as Zandy pointed out to me, the sleeve is missing on one of the little boys arms...I haven't fixed mine yet but I will. That's not a big fix....

I'm sorry I am not of more help - but I am really just too slow at it right now to get into the "business" of making them! I still have a lot of trial & error to work thru with this cloning & stuff! I am just really slow at the whole process. But maybe you can work with these...

I can't wait to get faster at this whole process! I haven't used printshop in probably 10 years so I don't remember its limitations but PS6 has an extraction feature...I'll bet Paint.NET has it too....Do you have Paint? It might not be easy, but you could probably do it there.
