Well, since Dex did not get back in touch, i (as a master in AI :lol: :D :lol:)have decided to pick this up.

I would like to repro a marquee for Super Don Quix-ote (Interstallar conversion).



I have a large scanned image, any chance you pick this up too in the future ?
Thanks,

Matteo

You are getting really handy with this DTP stuff! Maybe you could take a look at my donkey kong instruction sticker? The replica i printed out is a little bit different from the original one.

As you all can see, there is a part missing from the legs of the horse...

lets see if a new toy can help me out  ::)

last week , a big enveloppe in the mailbox  :P
What could that be  :roll:



Yes!, second hand, but hey it is a Wacom !



It works like a charm, and it was damn cheap  :-*
Sometimes i love marktplaats  :D

Its a bit like a touchpad.
the square you see represents your desktop area, the pen is the mouse.

the button on the pen is the secondary mouse button, and the tip of the pen is the primary mouse button.

so when you move the pencil 1 mm above the plate , the mouse moves "without holding the button" and when you "write" or "draw" while touching the pad, it acts like you move your mouse while you press the button.

which will translate in drawing programs to a line  ;)

You can do that ofcourse with a mouse, but this gives you more the "natural writing/drawing" experience which is very noticable in the end results  8)

More info on Wacom here:
