Barneyrfd: photoshop. I will have to try and see what happens if I make things smaller and see if that helps at all

Have you seen this site?!
It gives away some homemade Weasley's Wizard Wheezes/Harry Potter designs to make your own! (glue it on boxes,...)
Great stuff!
And it are the original designs! Untitled Document

@AnneleenDV: Hi...I posted a link to this site as well a few weeks back and had no reaction/feedback whatsoever despite there being some good stuff there.

Hopefully people will take a look this time, its worth it if you are Weasley's Wizarding fan.

@Barneyrfd: If I go one size up on the font from a 4 to a 5 the last line falls off the page Still don't know what to do about it

 

[Barneyrfd]

@Norbert: Did you try to shrink the M (it does look just a tad too big) or some of the text above?

If you have Photoshop I would select each layer the large text and the MOM M is on then go to EDIT>Transform>scale and up on the toolbar change the V and H settings to say 90%, then move the entire selected block up a bit and then you should be able to make the bottom text larger without falling off the page.

I'm taking a whack at quidditch teams of ireland and england, you'll all probably want Hinky to re-do it tho cuz its probably gonna suck

 

[lukeforester1]

@bfd and Hinky, what do you guys use to identify fonts? I tried identifont, but nothing good came up

@bfd and Hinky, what do you guys use to identify fonts? I tried identifont, but nothing good came up

I do it the good ol fashioned way. I go to abstract fonts, type in the text and search through the categories to look for it.

or... I just trace it

 

[Barneyrfd]

I use a similar method to get the font required.

 

[lukeforester1]

Thanks, I would'nt call it efficient, but it worked!

 

[Thumbhead]

Do you guys know of "WhatTheFont"? You can upload a sample and it has a go at figuring out what font it was originally. It's usually pretty accurate if the sample is decent, otherwise it suggests the nearest thing it can recommend.

WhatTheFont! « MyFonts

There's also a font forum there and the experts usually recognise even the most obscure of fonts, worth a try if you're really stuck! There's been quite a few HP related questions asked in the past so it might be worth searching to see if anything has already been identified that you are still searching for.

Hi AnneleenDV and rfd,
Thank you for the link to the Wheezes!!!! rfd I don't know how I missed that when you posted it, these are great I am currently working on a Weasley box of stuff. I am going to be using Hinky's wand box but I do like some of the other items in your link. Hmmmmm, I have to rethink the size of the box I am going to use to hold all of the Weasley fun :lol

 

[lukeforester1]

Well, because I am a complete failure, if anyone already knows what font to use for the Quidditch book (looking at you, lemonlemonuk) and would tell me then that would be "totally awesome!"

 

[Hinkypunk]

I dont know the font offhand, but if lemon ends up giving up on the book cover, I'll give it a go

 

[lukeforester1]

I don't know how you do it, it just seems like such a daunting task to find a specific font on the internet, it takes a lot of looking!
And with this particular book it's too small to trace.

EDIT: I know this is totally off-topic, but, did anyone just see NCIS?! I'm FREAKIN out!---just had to put that out there...

 

[Hinkypunk]

Ahh nothing is too small to trace You should see some of the originals I've had to work with to make gold. If you can read it, it can be traced

@lemonlemonuk if we only had better picture :s for now I can only help with that publisher sign http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090810030361/harrypotter/images/4/46/MergePublications.jpg

Quidditch Teams of England and Ireland

I hope this helps a bit. Q.U.A.B.B.LE. stands for The Quidditch Union for the Administration and Betterment of the British League and its Endeavours

Oh I didn't knew you had already posted the link, my bad. :rolleyes
You're right when you say there isn't much interst in the designs.
It's a pity because I think they're fantastic!

Hinky,
Do you have something for Hogwarts: A History?

I just found this 1920 library edition dictionary that I think would work pretty good. I just needed to see if you ever experimented with it.

Thanks!
