Photoshop Templates of Discs

[noah]

Does anyone have or know where you can download .psd templates of discs particularly Innova, but discraft and gateway would be nice to have.

Templates like sizes of each disc or actual default designs?

Sizes specifically.

[Leopard]

small diameter = 21.2 cm
large diameter = 21.7 cm
only Innova's freaky discs (Jaguar) don't follow that standard.

make a new file in PS, make the height/width match the diameter of the disc. make a new layer on top of the background. take the oval marquee tool to the top left corner, hold SHIFT, drag a perfect circle down to the bottom right. go Edit > Stroke ... choose your line color and width. BOOM you've got a circle boundary in its own layer to show/hide for reference.

since you're making a dye stencil, you can later do an Image > Canvas Size.. to add some extra space around the circle. going up and over the disc's dome, the distance across is a little more than its diameter. if you want you can start your file/circle with an added CM or two. for full-color files, i'll design beyond the disc's edge just to be safe.

this step is so easy, i don't even have a template for stamps. i make a square file and draw a circle with that exact method, every time. same with illustrator. kinda ritualistic at this point, gets me ready to rock a circle.

I do this same thing, but with Gimp
