Thank you guys. Eric, will you tell my wife that?

Here's one more for now.

Hey Dave!
These look pretty nice in video form too.
Thanks again.

Cheffey I was thinking about video when I was making those. I'm glad you found them useful.

By the way, I recognize that table.

Dave R · 3 Jun 2008, 20:30

Thank you James.

Can anyone stand a couple more?

Ooh, now that shows a need for having multiple watermarks that are chosen in a randomish manner to provide the flickering of old film strips....

Sounds like a lot of keyframing if done in sketchup.
Would be an easy add in iMovie or finalcut.

Thanks Dave.

I just had one pop in my head: back of a napkin style? What do you think?

Dave R · 5 Jun 2008, 02:08

Now it can be in front of your head.

How's this?

You will likely have to crop it after exporting the JPG.

Dear David,

Okay, how about the classic one: the back of an envelope.

Kind regards.
Bob

Dave R · 5 Jun 2008, 10:15

Funny you should ask, Bob. Last night before I went to bed I did just that.

Dave R · 5 Jun 2008, 11:15

One more envelope style before I leave for work.

These are great, for quick ideas and designs on on the run, not all designs are great hence the need for a toilet paper theme, for those crappy projects.

Gaieus · 5 Jun 2008, 11:47

So you also have the greatest ideas (worth sketching) in the toilet, Pete!?

solo · 5 Jun 2008, 11:53

The toilet presents me with many Moments Of Inspiration.

Gaieus · 5 Jun 2008, 11:56

Dave R · 5 Jun 2008, 12:25

If I could find a decent toilet paper image, I make you a style. I might have to take a picture of some. I'm getting all sorts of ideas now. Thanks guys.

Frederik · 5 Jun 2008, 18:52

You guys are crazy...

watkins · 5 Jun 2008, 21:37

Dear David,

I have only just seen your back of the envelope styles, and they are great. It is funny how mind work, isn't it.

Regards,
Bob

Dave R · 6 Jun 2008, 13:27

Bob, glad you like those styles. Yes, it is funny how minds work.

So I can't help myself. I keep browsing for more images to use for backgrounds. I figured out that if I make a somewhat transparent PNG version of the material and use that for the overlay watermark image, I seem to have somewhat better results.

Here's another ratty style. This time on parchment. Unfortunately the Style file is over 2 Mb so I can't upload it. I'll e-mail if someone wants it.
