11 years of the Guild bookmark

[ChickPea]

Well, I might as well kick things off here.

I wanted to make a Guild bookmark to celebrate that the site is 11 years young this month, so this is what I came up with. It was created almost entirely in Inkscape, except for a (very subtle) parchment texture that I made in Gimp then imported into Inkscape.

I quite like how it turned out, except looking at it now, I'm not quite certain about the proportions on my pencil. I think it's either very short or very fat. Maybe I wore it out drawing the map.

Anyway, I hope this is the first of many bookmarks, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you lot come up with!

Oh that's lovely, ChickPea!

Happy Eleventieth Birthday Guild!

[ChickPea]

I think the actual date is a couple of weeks yet, so time to stockpile the booze!

Oh, and thank you!

Very simple and charming map CP. Looking forward to seeing some more.

Nice one, CP!

Lovely!
Wow... already 11, huh? [Shakes head]

...oh no, I only just realised I never finished my map for the CG10 world D:
How long do I have? EDIT: Found it!

Great bookmark, by the way. Lovely choice of mellow colours.

That's lovely CP ! A question, would you agree to share a .psd (if you got one) with the guild's info and compass ? I'd like to go with the same font.

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated.

So I was goofing about this morning and I made something else. It doesn't have a map on it, but it is Guild/mappy related, so it fits. It's just a quickie that was a lot of fun to make. Fitting the words together was a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, except (fortunately) when a piece didn't quite fit, I had the option of stretching or squashing it slightly, unlike a real jigsaw. I've always admired those illustrations made out of text and whilst this isn't exactly groundbreaking stuff, it was fun practice. I think these Bookmarks are a great way to explore new aspects of art & design without committing a whole bunch of time.

Anyway, bookmark no. 2. The words are mostly taken from forum folders or other guild-related terms, or just general mappy stuff.

Sorry for double post, I forgot to respond to this.

I don't have a PSD of the Guild's logo. I stole the compass from our Facebook page. You can see it here. It's a PNG with a white background. When I removed that, the compass itself had a little transparency. Not sure if that's from the original file, or something Gimp did when it removed the white. As for the font, that's not the same font that you see on the Guild's header image. I'm not actually sure what font Robbie used. The font I used is one I bought. It's not a free font unfortunately, so I obviously can't share it.
