A friend's relative just passed and I have a handfull of images important to this person..more than enough to produce something from a creative standpoint.
However, I don't know the technical requirements/limitations of the tomb-stone business. I presume it will be laser-etched, based on the level of detail I see on the companies' other tomb stones.
My question is: advice about producing art which will have the best chance of looking great on the final stone. The company says "at some point, you'll have to trust our designers to produce the final art" but that leaves me with the queasy sense that what the family approves might get changed in a way they don't like.
That's why I'd like suggestions on how to produce the most tombstone-friendly art possible.
One thing I assume is that detail beyond a certain level simply won't make it, so I'm opting for simpler shapes. nothing too fine.
Then there's the polished versus non-polished stone. Does stone-polishing happen before laser-etching?
thank you for any thoughts on this!
