Hi. Great improvements again! Looks like the border is "masking" the drop-shadow, also looks like your border is "straight" with a jagged fill. Make sure the drop-shadow is on a layer above the border. Looks like the border now is "masking" the drop-shadow. BR Actually...

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20183245/warfinal2.png Smoothed the background's texture a bit more. Added something of a jagged thingy on my border - I'm not that pleased with it, but it looks cooler, that's true (also, gives a bit of a "papyrous" feel to the rest of the background). Turned dow...

Alright, I think I'm on to something. I used the trace bitmap function and got rid of the raster graphic background. Now only the picture isn't vectorized, but that's not a big problem. Here's the end result, after applying some distortion to it : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/20183245/war3.png I think t...

Alright, here's an idea. I like it, but I think that's too much information in a single card and it might be tiring. I found a picture taken from here -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/jamesgphotography/7015464207/ and I thought it would make for an awesome background. After cropping and placing my sy...

Hi Looks like my Google works better than yours: http://www.fotosearch.com/VSL113/cmpas_02/ http://www.visuallanguage.com/cds/preview.php?photo_id=CMPAS_02&cd_id=VL04 Quite steep prices for those image! What about some of the maps on this page: http://teletoples.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/old-map...

Unfortunately I can't share them, because I don't have them. As I said earlier it's not my work, although I'd appreciate if someone could identify the map (or at least what to search to find something similar). I've spend countless hours on google search :p

Hello! Sorry for taking so long to answer. I think I'm going with a slightly different layout. Any ideas about these: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HDM2XmKERAA/UCuiiYZNL9I/AAAAAAAAAO8/XdsxBtYpnSY/s1600/PRIDE3.png http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aHGElJlGBfA/UGL39V_QGbI/AAAAAAAAARs/vbOUi7mYZl0/s640/wild.png The...

Ooohh, now I see what you mean. The drawing behind the transparent color (colored filter) IS the textured background. I like that! (I thought the images behind were supposed to represent wrath, sloth, etc. And if they mattered, I thought they should be more visible.) What will go in place of the pl...

I'm not at all familiar with that game, so I'm at a loss for realistic suggestions. I think the designs already look professional....except that it's a little hard to see the images behind the partially transparent rectangles. So I might suggest increasing the transparency a little. You can make th...

An easy way would be to copy the design of the originals, including borders and icons etc. your examples have low contrast with one color dominating - was that on purpose? I know about that, but my theme would be completely different. I've already some ideas on icons, but borders and background pic...

So, I haven't really used other programs like inkscape before besides ms paint :p I want to create a project as a surprise for my girlfriend and I could really need some help and some pointers as I am a complete novice. The game is about resources and the 7 Wonders of the ancient world. I'm planning...
