yeah, you don't want to get into an "is that an alien or a freaky broccoli?" type situation.
especially bad while munching said.

Aren't pills cast or pressed(hydroformed) to avoid counterfeiting and relabeling?

epill - I've sent you an email.
Pills are indeed pressed. I'm supposed to be designing the bit that pushes into the 'clay'.
I will be sending sample designs over, I just want to pre-empt any problems - there'll be quite a lead time in sending files over and receiving the physical item back, and I imagine the sample press milling will be a touch expensive, so ideally I want to get this right first round.
Ravi - What would possess someone to point out a single spelling mistake? Every designer I've ever known has god-awful spelling - something to do with thinking phonetically, in 'visual' terms, I felt.
I thought I was doing alright! :(

(my spelling's usually passable as I'm not a very good designer :)

Nairn...ill help with what i can.
spelling mistakes are how we nters separtate ourseffs from all them other designers.

Thanks epill - if you've designed wee buttons, any input you have will be useful I'm sure!
(one thing, I appreciate that I'll have to reverse the design, once [/if] it's finished! ;)

My God, epill - you made that shit look good! Now it almost looks like I know what I'm doing!
That's the single-greatest bit of effort I've ever received from someone on NT - I thank you from the bottom of my [cold, dark] heart!

nice!!! enjoy it!!! and thanks!!! im glad that i was the first of the single greatest anything you have received on NT!!
but remember to try to get that exact size and thickness of the pill from either the supplier or the client as it will determine the amount of embossing depth...since i did a 4mm thickness you can still have room inside where the embossing can be on both sides...if the pill is any thinner only emboss on 1 side. and perhaps just a thin engraved line on the other side. also remember to adjust the sketch so that you show a 200% detail for reference only of not just the embossing art, but of the specs, as it was very small in the spec i created for you. use the heart hardware as an example to understand what i mean. if you have questions just drop me a mail.
also usually you will have to provide a separate art spec just for the embossing. if you need help with that one let me know.

didnt get the email yet..
you sent it?
- Nairn0
Hmm.. I've resent from my gmail account. If you've a strict email filter, it might be that my putting 'pill' in the original subject line has red-flagged it as spam.
Or more likely, my mail server's a bit shit (which it has been this week). Thanks again!
