Because the world needs more Torchwood branding in it...

Sue's leaving for her trip to ComicCon tomorrow - buses take time you know. Even as she sits here judging my Ianto-ish love of labels, my (apparently) bizzare way of posting here, and my sharpie induced drunk-like haze last night I'm still pretty sure she likes how I improved her luggage. Torchwood NZ branding on one side and the T blown up on the other. Harkness on top, of course.







How to brand random objects and/or people who don't move quickly enough for Torchwood

Step One: Start with a clean surface. In this case it's Sue's new to her suitcase.



Step Two: Print out some handy dandy references from the internet, and type up whatever you can't find in Word. Fun fact? Torchwood branding font is basically Calibri made really really big. You can search through 5000 fonts like she did trying to find an exact one, or one with a fancy name, but really? You're going to end back with Calibri, your generic default friend. Slap some carbon paper to the back and tape it where you think you want it.



Step Three: Trace over the general outline with an embossing tool. Follow behind with a Sharpie (woohoo!! sharpie!!) Here it is part way done



TWNZ side done - note the nifty upside down T :D



After that I followed with HARKNESS on the top, and the other T took up most of the side. Way, way, way more Sharpie. Also, if you don't press hard enough with the carbon paper you will have to lean very very close when you start with the markers. This might possibly get you a little bit high on accident. Ooops. woohoo! sharpie!!





Last one is an "action-shot" with the Jack Coat

If it was your suitcase you would have know what was inside. Since you don't, that counts you out. Next?

ps
Sue doesn't get finger quotes, she's real! See? *points down*

MAYBE I WANT TO SEE IF YOU REALLY LOOKED IN IT!

Was it full of sketchbooks?

PS I DISBELIEVE THAT SHE IS A BETTER FRIEND THAN ME, HENCE, THE QUOTES!

PPS "SUE"! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FRIEND-OFF! I AM PATTI'S REAL BESTIE!

Why would I lie about that?

I wouldn't say full of sketchbooks. Nosy.

I demand all friend-offs to be relatively non violent. I also demand snacks to enhance my viewing experience.

I refuse to have a friend-off with this "Jeannie" character on the basis that she is not real. So there.

And even if she were, I would still be the better friend as I make you things and she does not.

*sticks out tongue*

You make a good point. You also have never threatened me with a crowbar, so there's another point in your favour...*frowns at tongue* you aren't planning to lick anything are you?

[identity profile] tardistenantsue.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
You weren't talking to me, were you? I don't lick things...much...hardly ever at all...unless it's like a car window...or a steering wheel...or around someone's drink when they leave it unattended...yeah, hardly at all...

I must have gotten you confused with someone else, I don't know what I was thinking. My bad.
