staticrevenger Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hello everyone. I'm in the process of making making a card template for all to use, the aim of which is to provide a more realistic result than the current card maker provides. Here's the current version of the template on the left, and a card using the card maker for comparison on the right. I'd love to hear any criticisms you may have before I finalize the template and post it. Credit for the card image goes to HP Doom.

Laskeri - Unmei no Senshi Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 The name looks too embossed, and the name box's light and parts are a little too large, but other than that, it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticrevenger Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Helpful criticism, thank you. Added a new version with the suggested changes. The text had a slight bevel to make it feel more intended into the card rather than printed, and in my opinion it was a nice touch. Any more opinions on that matter?

.Rai Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 You know, it looks quite similar to HP Doom's own template Instead of using a bevel on the text, the way to imitate real text is to add a white Inner Shadow at about -70 degrees onto the text. I'm assuming you have a CS version of Photoshop here. Otherwise, never mind. If not, you could try making a white version of the text and nudging it slightly to the bottom-right of the original text. Place it under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticrevenger Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 With the white inner shadow, do you use it on the multiply layer setting? And I wasn't aware HP Doom had a custom template, i was under the impression he only did images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Nornal setting, about 70% opacity. I think I have his images on how he does it: [url]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/20100823174953.png/[/url] [url]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/841/20100823175021.png/[/url] [url]http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/411/20100823175042.png/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staticrevenger Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 That's pretty much the effect I was shooting for, thank you for showing that to me and kudos to HP Doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
