Back to the Future

Matt, how did you print them?

Btw, they look great!

Thank you. They are printed on water slide decal paper. Just the text part though. The white window sticker is vinyl.

Looks great, Rob. :) But the logo itself (the round window sticker) is not from me. How did you make it?

Sorry Roland. I forgot to say that yours is only the text part of the decal. The round window decal is one that I had done some time ago and I had already fitted to the Krups before you posted your design.
 
My contribution to this thread is not exactly a "paper" prop.

It is a Pepsi perfect label, I'd say 95% screen accurate, vectorized. It is meant to be used for vinyl cut stickers.
(color recommendation included)

I couldn't find a vectorized label when I was looking for one, so I made my own.
It is based on a rubbing I found in this thread, made by Gary Weaver II from his screen used bottle.

I received my vinyl cuts from this file today and they look awesome.

The correct label size is 5.5 x 5.5 cm

Like the specs for the Pepsi perfect bottle... I have asked time and time again for the SA measurements and nobody ever wants to give that detail. :(

Gary Weaver II also posted this 1:1 tracing of the bottle shape. This should help to find out the correct measurments.

The bottle trace image canvas has these dimensions:

width 9,53 cm
height 25,4 cm

resulting in a bottle height around 22.17 cm

I don't know if this is correct, Gary Weaver II should be able to answer that.

Please keep in mind that this outline is made from a preproduction model (if I remember correctly).

I just spent the last three days reading over this entire thread. Gosh, I feel like I've known you all for three years now.

My name is Adam and I'm a graphic designer. I own an ad agency in Wisconsin. When I first started reading the thread I was really excited about all the stuff I could do to contribute. But then Roland came along and, being a man who obviously doesn't require sleep like the rest of us mortals, did just about every prop I can think of. AND he not only did them and offered them to the community for free, but he did them in a highly professional, customizable, professional manner. Wow. That's not to say that I don't appreciate everyone who contributes here. It's just that Roland's vector graphics are one of the things I was hoping I could contribute.

That said, I have extensive experience in both photoshop and illustrator. Specifically, I've worked a lot on taking multiple angle photos and overlaying them to create a clean master of the subject. 2 days ago I decided to use this skill with the Lou's Cafe letter from 1955 creating a SA printable letter since the one posted on page 1 wasn't very accurate. I was proud of it and couldn't wait to share it once I finished reading the thread. Then I got to page 40 and found the very nice work already posted. No need to repost mine which is virtually identical.

I also reworked the highest resolution photo of Goldie Wilson I could find using some smoothing software I own. I rescaled the picture at 300 DPI and then cleaned up the pixelization making a scale 24"x36" campaign poster. Pitbulls image is better than mine I'm sure but I'm still reluctant to post it because I saw that he sells them and I'm not quite sure what the the etiquette is. I'm more than happy to share a .tiff with you all but only after I'm sure I wouldn't be stepping on anyone's toes.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to everyone and offer my services. I'd be glad to contribute in any way I can and I'll continue to follow this thread and look for opportunities to put my skills to good use.

Everyone on here who has contributed is amazing in my book and the attention to detail is staggering.

Thank you all.

Welcome Adam, I am sure you willbe a valuable asset to the BTTF community. There are still so many paper props from all 3 movies that need to be created, dont get discouraged by what has already been done, add to the collection!
 
Hi Adam and welcome !


Here is something to work on. It is Doc Brown's Gremlins note pad :



I've just got my hands on one of these vintage memo pads !

It's 127 x 71 mm and has 60 sheets of paper.

Sweet! I'm on it.

[EDIT]

127 x71 mm. Is that the exact size of the cardboard covers?
