Roster Sheet for the Daedalus Club
« on: 18 November 2013, 12:11:31 PM »
Just bought the rules last week, haven't played a game yet, but already having loads of fun. I really like the idea of being able to create anything you want, so I've invented a company based around a group of ageing academics in the field of engineering and science who are keen to field test their more unusual creations. I wanted to print off a roster template to scribble sample lists on, and while i was at it I decided to give it a bit of a decorative theme.

That looks amazing, what did you use to create the design?

Cheers,

Thanks very much Irish!

I used Photoshop, which I use for work anyway.

If you know your way around Photoshop, here's exactly what I did: I found the typefaces on MyFonts.com- it allows you to search keywords like 'Victorian', and then you can enter a sample phrase and it'll show you that phrase in loads of typefaces. You can drag those images onto your desktop and into Photoshop. Obviously the sample images are very low res, but by blowing them up to 300dpi, blurring them a little, using Threshold and then using the glass filter, you can achieve an 'antique' look at the right resolution without paying out for expensive fonts. The border is a William Morris one- searching 'William Morris border' on Google images and specifying 'black and white' and 'large' returns lots of stuff.

Thanks Roman, I have used it in the past but currently I don't have access to it. I will bug my college who teaches photography to see if they have it or a spare licence I could snag.
