Coming up with titles for these updates is notoriously hard. ~sigh~ Anyway, I took some time this morning to make the credit-card sized edition of the Plan of Salvation. Because a credit card (8.5×5.4cm, a ratio of 1.57) is narrower than a letter-sized sheet of paper (11×8.5in, a ratio of 1.29), I’ve had to elongate it, but it still looks okay. And because legibility at small size is a prime concern, I’ve enlarged some of the text and removed the glows. Even the Chinese is legible, to my great surprise and relief. :)
The only problems I’m encountering are that 1) the text isn’t as smooth as it could be (this could be because I’m not printing at a high enough DPI, so I’ll look into that), 2) the sun isn’t rendering the way it should (something went wrong with the Gaussian blur when I scaled it down), and 3) the Gaussian blurs are somewhat pixelated (perhaps the DPI thing will fix this).
I also need to either get permission to use the picture in the pre-mortal life sphere (it’s not my art) or replace it with my own design. The latter is ideal but I haven’t yet been able to come up with anything good… Anyway, I’m going to try to make some time within the next few days to throw together some pages for Riverglen Press where I can upload these cards and get them out there.
