bk18 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 how do you make them? i know you guys have all the cardboard taped together on the back but im talkin about the actual picture. im considering bringing my Rob Lowe creation to life Basically the way to do it is this: go to xavier annex - they wouldn't know if you are a student or not - they are really helpful and nice. You just need a log in somehow. Get on a computer, save the image you want as a file - ie jpeg or any other image file, then open the image file in photoshop - this is on all the computers in xavier annex. Then use the lasso tool to trim the image and take out all the background stuff you don't want. But its not necessary. Then resize the photo in photoshop. I did mine so that it was like 60 inches the long way. If its a bad quality photo it's going to look like crap. so just use high resolution ones. then what you do is you do a print save in high quality. so what you want to do is go to file, print, then select ADOBE PDF (you are printing it as a PDF - no paper used in this part). and then you have to go to some wierd advanced settings i think here and select print as "high quality" and also you have to change the size of the pdf so that it's the same size as the picture - ie. like 60 inches by 39 inches or whatever you save the picture file as. Then you take this pdf file, and print it. I selected 11x17 inch sheets - they are only 30 cents for a color laser copy at the xavier annex - which is probably cheaper than printing with ink. Then there is a setting somewhere in the advanced or options part of the print where you print as tiles or something like that. Then its printed as pieces. You can tell the worker at the xavier annex to print only certain tiles - so you don't have to pay for a white sheet. This saved me a few dollars. It's not an option on your printing menu, they have to do it from their main computer. Then the next part is putting it all together. So you have to trim some of the white edges off and tape it to cardboard. I used duct tape loops to tape the sheets down and then clear packaging tape to hold the edges down. Then I cut it out/trimmed the extra cardboard out with a sharp bread knife. then taped the edges with packaging tape. It takes a lot of work, but it's pretty cheap. about $5 for the printed pages for one big head and probably $3 worth of tape. The xavier annex has some people there that can help walk whoever through the process. they also have scraps of that white poster display material, which is very sturdy and can help buttress a crappy piece of cardboard. You can get big pieces of cardboard from the dumpsters outside the BSC. If you aren't a student. I'll print it for $5 if you have the PDF all ready. Or $10 if you want me to make it and all.

bk18 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 how do you make them? i know you guys have all the cardboard taped together on the back but im talkin about the actual picture. im considering bringing my Rob Lowe creation to life Call Best Buy and have them hold cardboard aside. I went to like 12 stores all over St. Louis. Probably wasted over a day just driving around. No one had good cardboard except for Best Buy. Also, I want to get a big head to someone who sits in the section directly across from the SLUNATICS during the first half so they can use it in the first half when AWAY teams shoot free throws. If anyone sits there regularly. Let me know via personal message. And I will find a way to get you a big head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waive us down so we can find you.BK18 since you know the SLUNATICS President, can you let him know that he needs to spread the word about the Free Willie and Kwamain facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=22014841&v=info#!/pages/Free-Willie-and-Kwamain/170224843002537 We only have 293 members which is a little pathetic considering there are 10,000 at SLU. We would like to have 1000 by Saturday. Heck, Willie is on board with the cause - it looks pathetic that there are only 293 people and half of them are a bunch of old geezers such as myself.

Runnin'Billiken Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I talked to him about something similar and he wasn't on board with having SLUNATICS support it. idk why. From my conversations with him I don't think he would support it either. It's his opinion and he has reasons for it so I'm fine with that.

He thinks he's a AD employee. It's not like he's using the season ticket email list to send out invites to the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BACKHANDtheRICAN Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Can anyone take out the utah stuff and add some SLU stuff to Rick's glorious running picture. Now that WR is trying to come back (along with KM) and that article detailed SLU's 3 conditions to do so. Someone at work who is also a season ticket holder thought it might be funny if the student section created a large 'checklist' pictoral titled "Free Willie" showing that he has xx of 50 community service hrs left, xx out of 8 counseling hrs left, and xx pages of the apology letter left and have it count down every game or during a timeout and cheer when you turn the page. Kind of the the 'KKKK' signs when pitchers pitch. haha First it would be comical and Second it would remind all in attendance that they are living up their end of the deal. SLU will need to live up to theirs when the time comes and they've satisfied the conditions to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
