Bigger & Brighter Card Mod - Version 2

[Shoe Lace]

PhattyLiver,

Thanks. I'll try and put together a working identical copy of your cards for the new stars.

With any luck it shouldn't take more than 2 hours or so.

Edit: Do you have a link to the font you used that doesn't require a login?

Phatty -

Do you know the name of that font? I might like to use that font, with a couple of my color/pip variations for FT. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The name of the font is Adver Gothic. I cannot find it on google as of yet. Well, I can but I'm not paying $25 for a font. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I will see if I can find it, I have a couple of links for font sites.

Found one - sorta. I cant seem to make the font any more bold. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] But it looks good, regardless. I really like the "open-top" 4. I might try and mock up a test deck, for FTP, with this font, both in the HE Only, and a O8 friendly version.

I found the font here , first font at the top, free download. The 2nd font available for free download, also looks pretty cool, but might be a bit too fancy. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Here is a quick look at the font. I just tried changing a HE Only font layout, to see how all the letters/numbers looked.

Hmm not bad. The Q looks like it's on drugs but I do like the open 4 as well as the numbers in general.

[fozzy71]

yes - the Q is always the problem card. I usually have to make the Q a bit smaller font size. They are all a 54 size font here. The previous font on this layout (TechnicBold) - the Q was a 54 font size, all the others were a 60. The Q either looks too big, or it actually is, and goes off the card face.

If you're using Photoshop, try setting the font to "Strong" (ignoring the normal font property). They will get a bit more bold without looking choppy.

TY - Good idea. Oh wait - I did that. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Sorry, naturally sarcastic. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yep, I learned that trick a few months back, when using different fonts, that couldn't be bolded. I may search around some more, for a different/bolder Adver variation that is free. Until then, this might make a nice set of cards. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If these can help anyone...

Here is a link for most of my Photoshop files & the AdverGothic font.

Have fun & Thanks for keeping the mod alive [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

TY sir - just what I needed.

There will be a new PhattyLiver for FTP - by Fozzy in the near future. I am sure I will make a few varieties, as I usually do. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
