Ok, so I've got a really great arrangement set up to make my patent plaques, but there is one catch to the situation: I need to supply my own art to print.
Soo... I'm faced with creating everything from scratch- basically the end goal would be to look very similar to your standard design styles currently available. What would make my life 100% easier would be to just somehow acquire one of the standard template files that services typically use. The only trouble is that I have no idea of where I could find such a file, and I don't imagine many of the bureaus would have much interest in just sending a copy on over.. (but I'll probably ask anyway).
So here I am- asking you guys for suggestions. I really don't know where to start, I suppose I could just scan an already made patent plaque and then match the fonts and art as best I can, but all options seem like kind of a hassle when compared with somehow acquiring a template.
Thanks so much for any help!
