Anyone an expert on stickers?

TheRealZenith

So I am planning to make an all white build on a h440, dubbing the name White ninja due to it being a silent pc that is very deadly :P 

Until recently I didnt really think outside the usual white sleeved wires, matching ram, fans etc and some custom paint on gpus etc. But, today I saw a car with a white black mixed sticker that looked rather amazing and I felt that if i can add in a white ninja sticker that is of similar quality to my front panel, it would really look sick

Unfortunately, I am completely new to the world of stickers or decals, whatever you wanna call them and have no idea where to start

So my question is this, how do i choose the material ?? how do i make it look merged instead of standing out ? also what other things should I consider ?

Have you considered paperboard stencils? Use an exacto knife or scalpel to make the stencils.

It depends on what look your going for but if you have a design you can get it custom cut in many places that do vinyl wrapping for vehicles using a vinyl cutter. If you want the logo to stand out there are a few ways by using contrasting colors or layering with multiple colors to give it more depth.

 Personally I think it would be a better idea to try and get it to decal you're looking for, print it out in a good size that you like to have it on your case, cut it out with a knife to start the design and then cut it out with some scissors, tape all 4 ends on, and get some Rustoleum black spray paint. I wouldn't suggest having too large of a decal because if you spray paint a bit more over the decal you wouldn't want it to go onto your case come up because it would be a bitch to get off so I would suggest smaller decal to paint so the runoff when going to the paper instead.
