This was my 1st project done at Innocast Execuline, my Contract Graphic Designer job, for their clients from State Farm Insurance. I created the tab (the left picture) in Corel Draw application. I used a white background with centered black type in the middle. I had to do the same for the Gold and Bronze tabs you see in the picture on the plaque (picture in the middle). The sizes are listed down below. The name plate (the right picture), I created in Adobe Illustrator. I created a black
background with the text being white. To make the name overlap in the cursive text, I used the united pathfinder tool to make the each letter overlap. The sizes are listed below. The plaque is the finish product where the company engraves the tab and name plate at Innocast on the laser engraver machine. The tab is placed into a slider to slide on the plaque on the left side and the name plate is magnetic to place on the plaque on the right.
Sizes for name plate and tab:
Tab 5in W x 2 H Times New Roman 30pt
Name Plate 3.37in W x 1.497 H Mayfair 50pt
