Mako Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Oh feel free Chris, its not exactly a masterwork! I just used a font from malifaux and my usual avatar picture. It works better a bit bigger really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowchikawowers Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) lol Great painter, yes, but graphic designer you are not, mako. hm. I don't have this font. where can I download it? preferably for free. It's not really all that bad, there's just a couple things that just don't work. mostly the spacing of the words over the image; which is generally something you should avoid anyway. it makes it hard to read, but we'll see if we can't make it work in this case. it would be kind of boring otherwise. i'll play with the leading and the kerning a bit and see what happens.

Mako Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 if you google 'ratty malifaux downloads' there should be a nezumi page that has links to them. I think it's bleeding cowboy, although it could be inked god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm not sure which one it is on that...those are some fun fonts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Heh, the limits of my graphic design are 'thats a pretty graph' and 'that poster has too much text and not enough open space'. Science doesn't equip you for this kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 lol no science is not big on the artistry of images. I'm impressed you consider open space though, a lot of people see open space as something they can cram more text into rather than an important visual aspect of the piece. somewhere to rest the eye and make the text less overwhelming.

Mako Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I was always told a poster should be 20% text, 40% image and 40% blank. And that if you can't read an A4 print of an A1 poster at arms length, you made the text too small. That was about the limit of my graphic design training. Then they started fussing over where to put your funding sponsor's logo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 identity mark. logo means word but yah, you scientists would all benefit from a couple graphic design classes I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 that's a bit random. When I Installed it, I quit photoshop and restarted it and it seemed to work. Although inked god never came up when I typed it, I had to find it in the drop down the hard way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have no idea, haven't added fonts to windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 why did my post disappear....? that's getting really really annoying. I don't understand this. photoshop crashed, came back, still no font. my computer insists it's installed, photoshop insists it isn't. and i'm about to chuck this stupid thing out the window. ---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ---------- what is going on with this computer? weird... phantom pages...
