Here's a few suggestions: - I think Smooge's suggestions for the strengths and weaknesses are funny and make sense and would be good to integrate. - The cards need a front design too - these designs look like they are good for the back because they have all the details about the character. You could use gnokii's characters (http://gnokii.fedorapeople.org/character.svg ) for the front side so each job has some diversity - I think some of your characters that are female are male in gnokii's set and vice-versa. - Once the front design is done, I think it would be worthwhile to format the cards for printing so we can have some produced. I found this website with a custom trading card printing template: http://www.mytradingcards.com/how-ready-to-print.aspx Your SVG is very close (looks like it's 2.4 x 3.4 in your SVG, I think 2.4 x 3.5 is the final card size after cropping.) You'll need at least a 1/4 inch trim as well: to add it, you can just widen the card's blue background half an inch wider and taller to accommodate - so that the final design for each card is 2.75 inches x 3.75 inches. (Let me know if you need help with this) That vendor (mytradingcards.com) looks pretty reasonable, so I think it would be a good idea to position the final designs in their template the way we did with the Red Hat sticker project we've been working on. The AI template download there is broken so I put together an Inkscape template using the PSD downloads that you can use: http://linuxgrrl.com/temp/tradingcards/TradingCard-Portrait_Template.svg What do you think? ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
