    Default Diamond's Bookmark Fiesta

    Hey there, fellow Guildites! This will be the place for any bookmarks I create, now and in the future. Since I'm going to keep everything in one thread, they won't show up in the scraper, but I'm sure you can all handle that. I'm creating everything in photoshop at 2x7 inches / 350ppi, then posting it here at 50% size.

    To start off, here's kind of a generic border region, an area of 'neutral' cities sandwiched between two competing empires (not shown). The lovely parchment overlay is courtesy of Mouse!

    I'm afraid I've just thought of one major flaw with this map bookmark thing.... How are you going to read the book instead of staring at the lovely maps!??!
    It looks really great. Looking forward to seeing more of them.

    One can never have too many bookmarks. Although... if I had less, maybe I wouldn't start so many books at the same time...

    Anyway, here's a pseudo-Tolkein-esque one:

    Oh that's a cool one!

    Yours aren't going to show up in the gallery though, because you're putting them all in the same thread and not using the WIP tag. Is that intentional?

    Beautiful bookmarks! Please, what is that great Art Nouveau typeface you have in the first one? I must know!

    Cheers,

    Yep, I decided not to start a new thread for every one of them - that offends my sense of neatness somehow.

    That's a great font, isn't it? It's called Strong Glasgow.

    Nice work! I like that first one 'The March Cities' particularly. And a font called 'Strong Glasgow' gets 100% thumbs up from me. But seriously, anything Rennie Mackintosh is a win (like, you know, my avatar!)
