customer proofs
« on: January 22, 2014, 03:00:58 PM »
How are you sending proofs to customers , just supplied ,created logo with specs or using standard layout with watermarks and showing virtual shirt pics.
  I'm wanting to set up a standard layout for a digital or printed proof to customer and looking for some inspiration , I know I have seen some on here in the past but can't find them.

Or if you have any links to related industries with similar proofing ideas let me know.

Thanks

Here's ours. Got an Illy script that renders the swatch colors in the art automatically if anyone's interested.

Wouldn't mind checking it out.  I like our proofs but we could always improve the process.

I would be interested in seeing how that works. Didn't even know you could do that kind of stuff in illustrator. What version?

These look good ,  couple good ideas. I deal mostly with marketing companies and they are interested in a standard format with there logo in place. They see it as a bonus easy for me and keeps them coming back.

As promised, here's the scripts.

All originally from this dude. He's got some awesome stuff.

Had to hack it up a bit to make it do what I want. No help from me, you're on your own.


Illy and all Adobe programs are incredibly scriptable. Adobe provides little to no documentation of course.

In fact, if you look at our mockup, the company/job info up top and garments down low are automatically filled
in from Filemaker. It's awesome.
