I get what you are saying about white borders, I just absolutely hate the way they look. I've never had any trouble getting my printers to print black all the way to edges, but maybe that's just me.

I'm starting to get to the edge of my graphic design ability with these templates. I don't know how much better I'm going to be able to make them look. I may try to consult with some other designers I know for some feedback and pointers.

I've been following the Pokemon TCG fakers for years (I don't play the game but I think it's really cool how they can do that stuff). HL, your templates are right there with them, and probably even more impressive given the detail-heavy nature of LotR TCG cards. The fact that you broke the font-barrier alone is worthy of praise among the Dwarves.

As for white borders, fuuuuck that. I have enough painful memories of SWCCG collecting, thank you very much!

Holy crap those texts look solid. Are those lifts from real cards or have you found the Holy Grail of custom texts?

I'm certain these will be worthless to you, but I blanked a bunch of templates years ago. They're all .bmp format (I've always been an idiot), but maybe you can make some use of them?

Hum.. Menace.. Do you remember the InvisionFree Forum ?

Very nice templates, love them ;)

Been working some with the borders. Not sure if this is a good look or not. Would love feedback.

That's much too far. The picture has been lost to the background of the template!

EDIT: And I guess what I mean is that it's not subtle enough. Straighten the picture's border a bit a lot and make the deterioration effect less noticeable. Then you'll get more image seen and it won't draw so much attention away from the rest of the card.

Those are all solid. Sauron is my absolute favorite!

Also, I suppose you've intentionally done away with the whole Circle-for-Free-Peoples and Diamond-for-Shadow twilight cost icons?

Yes. You'll notice that the orb is blue for Free People's cards and violet for Shadow cards.

Hmmm. My first thought is, "Wow I've looked at all of these templates many times and I haven't noticed that before." Which makes me think that you should probably strengthen the colors a bit more to make the difference more noticeable!

Hmmm. Ok. I'll do that. I"m also gonna try to touch up the border on the Dunland template a bit. I'm actually learning a lot of neat tricks along the way. The Sauron template was the last one I did the border on, and you can tell it looks a lot more polished than Dunland, which was the first.

All the other templates feel solid to me. Once I get Dunland where I want it, I'll go back through the FP cards and touch them up. Then that just leaves touching up the site and the ring and we'll be ready to move on to the fun part -- actually designing the second edition!

Ok. I swear this is the final, final version of the Shadow character templates. I still have to do the non-character ones, but they are a cinch once the format is set.
