Thanks Greg - I've actually already got these from dafont, they are good but they feel like modern interperetations of the real thing and a bit too over textured (this 'under-printing' effect i can apply at the end myself). I'm really after the names of the actual woodblock fonts that would...

Hi, I'm designing a poster based on old letterpress typography and was wandering if people could point me in the direction of some nice fonts to use, the more authentic looking the better. Also any theory that goes behind the making of them, i presume they use some kind of grid. You can see a...

Hi Jazajay - It's part of a viral campaign for an art collective... a sort of cryptic online sketchpad of drawings and music. It doesn't need to make any sort of sense, which is ultimately the whole point of the site! It just needs to feel very abstract and very confusing! :cool: YDR

Hi, I want to create a simple - but rather cryptic looking - site based on this concept: useful fragments So really a series of individual html pages that contain text, images and the odd mp3, each page linked to the next by simple buttons or html links. Can anyone recommend a good but free...

Thanks all - I spoke to Openmind Hosting and i'm allowed 2 additional domains on my hosting package :up: so all sorted thanks. YDR

Hi, I have webhosting with Open Mind, the package i have is: Hosting Package: Linux Shared Hosting - Home I have two domain names registered for two seperate business outlets (one a personal design portfolio, another for a band website) and was wandering how i go about using the same hosting...

I need to produce a very sparkly 'light swoosh' similar to the one in this film poster. I'm having real trouble sourcing anything to get me started. Ideally i need to be able to direct the 'swoosh' around objects and characters on my illustration...

I've been asked to work on a pitch for a film of the dark fairytale/fantasy variety where the title treatment is key... they are after something along the lines of: http://media.movieweb.com/news/01.2006/narniaDVD1.jpg...

Thanks for your help on this. Now the brief has slightly changed and the letters can be made of any solid material (plastic, wood etc.) just as long as they look sturdy and strong. A couple of references below: Helena Dietrich So does this offer up any other possible sources that you might...

Very possibly! It would have been a simple solution to the brief if i could have laid my hands on these letters easily but perhaps this is a non-starter if this kind of thing is not readily available off the shelf. Thanks, YDR

Yes, the letters are to be photographed in different locations, spelling different words. In all there are potentially 24 separate images/words needed so 3d rendering wasn't really an option as i have about 1 day to generate all images in the set. Finding a complete alphabet and going out to...

Hi, I need to find a complete 3d alphabet cast or made from a metal. Does anyone even know where to start looking? The more 'cast' they look the better and they need to be no smaller than about 10cm high, something along these lines would be great (but preferably a complete set from one font)...

I'll definitely look into Open Mind then! I also really like the look of Indexhibit (thanks Greg!), is this something that Open Mind web hosting would support? YDR

Hi, I'm looking at creating an online portfolio for my print design work. I have limited experience designing sites using Flash but i am more than happy to use a free Wordpress 'Portfolio' theme that i can customise to get me started. What i need is advice on 1) Where to purchase my domian...

Hi Greg - Yes, in effect i'm working as a full-time freelancer at this one agency and have been for 18months. It's my choice to remain as a freelancer and they haven't questioned this yet. The whole idea of getting a portfolio together online is to evaluate where i am in my design career and...
