Gamer at work

I saw the image above on a web page and i decided to try to re-create it as a printable image that pepole/me could use.

Its kinda a WIP, since i haven't (not sure if i will) added the bullet holes and i think im gonna make the colors more washed out like the image.

Since this is kinda made for printing i shoulda made it 300 dpi ? Correct ?
Crap... I made it standard 72, or what it is...
Yeye, it looks good anyways

Yeah, I'd say add a grunge texture on overlay and you're pretty much done

[Maffe811]

Yes, i was thinking some grunge/dirt here and there and maybe a paper texture some place ?

Make the text under Gamer at Work larger and less yellow, throw a grunge texture on it, change the dpi to 300 and I'd say it's ready to print.

Q: Changing the dpi is all i need to do ?
Like i was thinking i had to change then redo everything ?
Also, i used the original as a reference, but suddenly the top text was a bit big, but i thought this turns out good anyways.

Q2: When you say larger text, what should i make smaller ?

Q3: A specific yellow tone you would suggest?

Q4: Any specific grunge texture you want to suggest?

---
Im asking for suggestions since i spent quite alot of time to find the fonts.
The first one was easy, and the second "gamers at work" was pretty easy once i found out it was under the stencil category

A: Yes just change the DPI, Image, Scale Image.

A2: Don't make any of it smaller, just redo it and make the "Killing Enemies" through "Blowing stuff up" text bigger.

A3: Something like #ffff59

A4: It's got to be really big because changing the DPI to 300 will effect the images you import. Try some of the packs on MediaMilitia.

So you mean decrease the ammount of space between lines ?

I didn't find any so i googled "HD grunge texture" and i found a few.

New version!
Whats better, whats worse?
Should i redo everythin ?

I meant make all the yellows paler. That texture isn't working, it just looks like concrete. Try one of these: http://graphicsfuel.com/2011/09/intense ... -textures/

Or you could just get the original poster.

So you're saying i should stop gimping and buy stuff? :O
Im outraged!
And i don't buy stuff i can make

[David Wood]

No, I'm just saying if you don't want to have problems with dpi and stuff.

Like what David said, the image looks concrete because of the texture. It looks good for me. Some texture may be better if you want it to look something else. The strength of yellow will not be that much once it is on paper (may depend on the ink) so I think the first is just fine. Lighter makes it less solid for a caution. The sizes are also okay for me except to the texts near the center because they are left out by the big ones.

[Maffe811]

Im gonna fix this once i get the time...
I got tests tomorrow and on friday and then some family gatherin stuff in the weekend, then i think next week is clear and then a baptism (i think thats what its called, and thats how you spell it).

No, I'm just saying if you don't want to have problems with dpi and stuff.

Well maybe i like problems with dpi and stuff!

They didn't even know what dpi was... after i explained it -.-
