Sometimes I even hold them top to bottom, like with MtG.<br />Oh do please share any and all printers, and their info, for cards. And books for that matter.

Everything I've heard about Superior POD is that their quality is great, but turnaround is a little slow.

Would you be interested in comparing notes as we all do prototypes, to find the best printing options?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15638186717375006530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-23865675615241560222011-03-22T10:38:25.491-04:002011-03-22T10:38:25.491-04:00I don't believe that left or right is objectiv...I don't believe that left or right is objectively "correct" per se. You could just as easily fan your cards the other way, as many Magic players do. However, there is such a thing as tradition and it does seem that tradition calls for these symbols to be on the top left. Who am I to fight tradition? :PDaniel Solishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683491911441126187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-55458421082686717752011-03-22T03:52:41.001-04:002011-03-22T03:52:41.001-04:00The left hand side is the correct side, since it m...The left hand side is the correct side, since it maks the symbols easy to read when you have a hand of cards fanned.<br /><br />These look great, Daniel!Hal Mangoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10455358530268131264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-25651538081429556582011-03-22T01:38:07.158-04:002011-03-22T01:38:07.158-04:00BTW, it's my understanding that the Magic desi...BTW, it's my understanding that the Magic designers would *love* to be able to redesign the cards to put the mana symbols on the left. You know, if they weren't trapped by years of design.<br /><br />So, the left appears to be the correct answer.Seth Ben-Ezrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354492593623135966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-77562481017130082412011-03-21T19:27:07.987-04:002011-03-21T19:27:07.987-04:00Thanks!

I know a resemblance to Guillotine would be one of the big issues to deal with in these designs, which is why I decided to go with cel shading and color-coordinated monochromatic palettes for each guest portrait.<br /><br />There are six colors in total, Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green and Purple. You can see the card backgrounds in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/daniel_solis/5520408456/#/photos/daniel_solis/5520408456/in/set-72157623180276189/" rel="nofollow">these old screenshots</a>.

I might look for making one of those two go greenward, unless there's a different role for that color already assigned.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362641974657304051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1818073417709561773.post-37483792089294789762011-03-21T18:35:37.067-04:002011-03-21T18:35:37.067-04:00I really like the new iteration, man.

Plus these don't look like cards in other card games, to me, which I think is a *good* thing here.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362641974657304051noreply@blogger.com
