Here's another random thing I thought would be cool to remake. I saw a screenshot of this during a MinaLima interview and thought I would give it a shot. There is another version with the number 6 that Ill probably remake and post as well. This file is around the size of a business card.
EDIT: Added the 6 version

That's great, jdoz2. Does anyone know what exactly this is or from? Anyway, thanks for posting!

This particular prop belonged in the betting suitcase that Fred and George had during the Triwizard Tournament. Those particular props are called "betting slips".

Although you did a good job, I got some suggestions and references as I have researched this prop and seen the original prop countless times in person.EDIT: Looks like other people have made this already, but oh well.
Hey Everyone. I just wanted to say thanks for the awesome resources found on this site.
Im making a few books for my wife this Christmas and wanted to contribute a more screen accurate "Mudbloods and How to Spot Them" book cover. Its still not totally accurate, but I triedI remade this in Illustrator and and didn't apply any weather effects to it yet because I wanted to add those by hand and not digitally.
I hope people will find this useful! Ive attached a jpg for preview and hopefully this dropbox link works:

The original prop used these fonts:
-Prison AOE (https://www.dropbox.com/s/kicpi8l7eym4y28/PrisonAOE.ttf?dl=0)
-PiS LIETZ Lindham (https://www.dropbox.com/s/qaz9a6pp1sd2937/PiSLIETZLindham.otf?dl=0)
-Type No. 2 WF (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ydk907thtdci9xv/TypeNo2.otf?dl=0)
-P22 Koch Signs Four (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7zdrdlc118yvs50/P22 Koch Signs Four.ttf?dl=0)
As for the actual references:

As you can see there are some details from the prop that you haven't included, like a more detailed kneeling wizard etc. The colours are a bit off as well. There wasn't actually any gold used on that design.
As for distressing. Let me tell you how it was done on an original. All the distressing that you see on the flat reference for the cover spread was actually printed like it is there. So all the subtle texturing (scanned grain texture) and screenprint texture that is in the main fragment of the cover (which is actually taken from an old WW2 propaganda poster by the way) was there on the cover and the printed prop. After printing the cover they just distressed it lightly with sandpaper etc for a better effect.

Thanks for all the tips. I Just took a stab at it from the thumbnail on the MinaLima site, but all your reference material is stellar as well as the fonts. I just used what fonts I had available on my computer and modified to fudge it. It sounds like you really know your stuff and are a great resource for this forum. Im pretty new here, but its great to see so many people share their knowledge and files with everyone.
As for the gold, I thought about leafing those areas for kicks one day and just wanted to see how that looked. I tried do some metal leaf for my wife's Christmas present and enjoyed it even thought I wasn't very good at it. Ill probably try making a Daily Prophet someday soon.

This isn't exactly a paper prop, but someone might be interesting in printing this out. I think the use something similar but not exactly like this on the dark mark suckers at Universal.
I took this photo at universal in 2015 and have always liked this stylized version of the dark mark. We are going back to universal in February so Im sure Ill take a ton of photos this time around

It is a paper prop. They printed those in smaller versions next to the actual jelly props.
Forgive me if I do this post wrong. It is my first. So I have made a calendar based off of an image I found. The image is of the Nomaj office desk in Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them. I think it is the desk of Henry Shaw Sr. I will try to upload a high resolution so you guys can use it. I have one on my office desk and I just use the font and color I have for date specific events.

Okay. So the files didn't upload. Let my try this.

New Chocolate Frog card comes January 26! As a special treat, Bertie Bott of Bertie Bott’s Every-Flavour Beans fame is featured on a Chocolate Frog wizard card. For a limited time, a Bertie Bott sticker on the Chocolate Frog box lets you know you’re getting the new card. After a few weeks, the sticker disappears and Bertie Bott’s card is mixed into the general inventory. This is just a small sample of the magic in store during A Celebration of Harry Potter, which runs from January 26 – 28.

That’s awesome
I’m such a fan of the idea of the every flavor beans. Does anyone plan on visiting the park and picking up any of the designated frogs? Perhaps willing to send a care package if I cover the costs?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
