Re: Graphics ?: Phone cord techniques?

Sounds like your main challenge is the phone cord.  If I had to do it, I 
would go out and buy a real phone cord, arrange it in an arc shape 
(quarter circle).  Then scan it.  Use Photoshop to duplicate it three 
times and arrange the sections into a full circle.  Copy a small section 
of the cord and paste it onto the four break points (use feathered 
edges).  If you don't like the realistic look, you can use filters or 
hue adjustment to make it look more "cybernetic".

TO make the circle proportional, you can draw a perfect circle on a 
piece of paper, tag the phone cord to the paper by tracing the arc.

==============================
A new client of mine sets up phone systems at hotels and bread &
breakfasts. He wants a logo containing a globe (Earth), a phone, the
letters HCG, all encircled by a phone cord. I need suggestion/advice on 
how
I would go about making a "tileable" phone chord. 

I have Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and I intend on placing the 
tiling
pattern on a path in Illustrator. Is that possible? I am relatively new 
to
Illustrator and I haven't figured out much yet.   

Thanks in advance!
