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

[Soccermom-Cheri]

it sure is a bummer when you are trying to put pictures on to a green mickey head. If I send the pix to the back, I won't see them ... anyone know if I can crop them in Photoshop? (which I can barely operate)

OK - here is a banner that I just finished. My first one and it is just an experiment. Did it quickly. Now that I know it can be done by me, I'm off to do more - This was so much fun - I have pockets to put each section into to put the 8 sheets together and keep them in line. I'll look better when I get it together in their sleeves and hang it up

I don't see anything Would love to see your designs. I'm trying to get ideas. The ones I've seen posted so far are so creative and original. really relects each DISer & their families. I'm trying to figure out a background. Do you all use wallpaper? That seems to be the only thing that would be big enough without distortion. This is our third cruise and first door sign.

Just cruised on the Western Magic last week. Here was one of our signs.

Hi Cheri!

You should have a "Magic Wand" tool that you can use to do this. I use Paint Shop Pro, but it is very similar to Photoshop (and I found a photoshop link http://www.mediacollege.com/graphics/photoshop/tool/magic-wand.html that shows it). When you click on the white background, the magic wand should select all of that. Then you can delete the selected part of the picture or "Invert" the selection so that the clip is selected and copy/paste it.

Hopefully, that helps...

I did some magnets for my parents last cruise, here is what the door looked like. They got a lot of compliments.

 

[lillygator]

does anyone have the measurements on the circle on the door? I love that poster who did their pictures around the circle and would love to borrow that idea for our trip!

 

[BoardwalkBabe]

The circle is 7.5" in diameter.

I have made approx 20 signs and now am on to smaller magnets to go along with the signs. BUT: I'm having trouble finding clip art that isn't on a white background. I can find cute Mickey's but when you go to put it on a green mickey head, there is this white box around the art. Is there one site or one file type that is just the image and not a square picture (if that makes sense).

Do a google search for Disney .png clipart. You want atrwork that has been saved as a .png piece - this will give you a blank background.

This is an example taken from www.magicalears.com

Below are the magnetic door signs I made for our August 2003 cruise.

Your door signs are great! Thanks for posting them

I bet they did! A lot of work went into that door

 

[Marypoppinsiam]

Great door!! How long did it take for them to put the magnets all up?

Donaldsgal, How did all your mag door signs look on your stateroom door while you cruised? Got pics to share/post?

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Thanks for the compliment on the magnets I did, it took some work but I had fun doing it!!!

I love what julia & nicks mom did, it looks great.

OK, over on the t-shirt site someone has found a link to a place in France with Disney clip-art. Wouldn't this be great for a Castaway Cay day door sign:

..or just start clicking away!

Mondu! That was tres jolie Saw some nice pics but am wondering if it's ok to use them. Couldn't understand the enough French tell how they feel about it.

I am sure it has been asked and answered. I even searched this thread without success. Is there any where I can get a very clean copy of the DCL logo? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! There are a lot of talented people out here!!

Can I ask some really stupid questions?

I am not very artistic, and I am certainly computer illiterate when it comes to this stuff.

I am going on the Mousefest Wonder cruise on December 4, 2005, and they are going to have a door decoration contest.

I would like to participate, but I am not exactly sure how I should decorate the door.

Deb Wills of AllEarsNet.com and Dave and Jennifer Marx of PassPorter.com have made a graphic with the word Mousefest written on it at the following web site:

http://www.mousefest.org/graphics.htm

I thought that I could use the larger graphic and put it on one of those magnetic sheets or even just paper and tape it to the door.

I don't know, but maybe Kinko's could grab the Mousefest graphic off of the computer and print me a sheet or place it on a magnetic sheet.

For the computer and artistic challenged like myself, has anyone used Kinko's for this?

Any ideas for other decorations.

I was thinking about making three circles with the mickey head logo.

Or using those Home Depot paint sample mickey heads.

Any help or advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone else here going on that cruise, too?

Thanks in advance for any help and ideas.

Sincerely, Ray

Try asking on this thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=10065288#post10065288. There are a couple wonderful people over there who help everyone clean up their graphics. I wish I had the software to do stuff like that.
