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

how about I carry it? That way you make the headlines of who you are, and you even have someone attached to your arm while you are at it *g*
Or the green shirt. The green shirt.

You ordered in a red suitcase... Right.
Yes definitely the green shirt. Two buttons undone at the top and you totally have a deal as to where the hell you are going.

Date: 2010-07-19 12:28 am (UTC)From: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.
