Polk Salad Annie (FTD)

[BJBAmerica]

What font did you use to create the "Elvis" in dots on the front cover? Where can I find that on the internet? Did you have to color each dot individually?

I'm an Alt Cover novice, so any insights are greatly appreciated.

GREAT COVER!!!

Easily one of the very best I've seen.......Congratulations!

Hi Christian

Lovely Covers - I also did the same with Your Pictures as I Discussed in Another Thread - I Downloaded "Them" into Corel Draw and Exported "Them" in 300 dpi and Saved Them as Bitmap(s) (.BMP Extension) and it Printed Beautiful - Nothing wrong with the Quality Christian.

Keep-up the Good Work

Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to You

Has anyone heard from Manhattoe, I haven't seen him around, hope he is OK.

Sorry guys, I wasn't here for a quiet a while. I am deeply entangled with other things (rather involuntarily, I have to say), but I am still alive and kickin'.

Be sure, I will come back, as soon as time permits it. As I just wrote Tommy, I am quite confident to finish a XMas cover, which I started working on last year.

As for the PSA covers, I thought I had embedded the fonts completely, but I can also upload a jpg files tomorrow.

All the best to all of you and thanx for the postive response.

[Manhattoe]

So, here are the jpg-files.

@ BJBAmerica: yes, I did create the 5 letters for Elvis' name myself.
It is styled after the "logo" that appears on the original On Stage album (and In Person, of course). I only did a few changes (mainly the colors).

[Manhattoe]

Sorry guys, didn't work.

I was waiting almost an hour for a 900-KB-zip file to upload.

Something wrong here?

[Manhattoe]

Why don't simple convert all fonts to outlines? This is the way it should be printable for everybody

Hmm, you can do that with big sized texts like headlines, titles etc pp, but if the hinting of the font is poor, small text (as used in tracklists) may easily appear clumsy.

Anyway, as ist seems I have an upload problem, so that's the first that has to be solved.

I am still wondering why there are any font problems at all in the pdf, since I embedded all typefaces.

I'll try again to upload the zip-archive.
