The Full Bleed project - back on my bullshit [03.20]

I'd be more tempted to make it the background as a title-bar than the text box.
Also, the disciplines could be larger, but the vertical format is 'traditional' so probably a little easier to make for the transition.

how about a little of both?

I liked this one.

What about out the clan symbol on the down-left corner, under the disciplines, and the expansionista symbol on its place?

Under the text box as in my previous offering?

i think i'm going to make a separate thread for my ramblings on card layout and design. i don't really want to detract from the momentum the full bleed cards have right now.

Getting back on topic, here are the flipped/altered versions that Damnans was talking about:











generally speaking, the original image is on the left, and the altered version is on the right.

I like this type of full bleed cards the most.

They're really good. I maintain that the wax/blood splotch is a little ugly, but whatever. If it could be shrunk so that it doesn't hang over the edge of the side-bar I'd be happy. Also: would there be a big uproar if the Assamite symbol were turned 90 degrees so that it fit, too?

The new flipped cards look nice.
Although I think I still like the original post's cards best. (Probably has something to do with the artwork and very vibrant colors though...)

The discipline symbols could be made slightly larger though. You know, to increase visibility. Especially since there is probably space for them.

I don't have any probs with the wax splotch of the Sabbat vampires.

(I wouldn't rotate the Assamite clan symbol as DeathInABottle suggested, BTW)


The recent suggestion from Gines looked OK too, but I'd lower the clan symbol a bit so the name would be topmost and clan symbol, traditionally, under it. The discipline symbols are a bit bigger (which is doubleplusgood!) in it too compared to the Unaligned cards self biased just showcased.

Way better than the previous one.
Which was, perhaps, a too radical a change in the design.
Biggest problem in it (the previous design), for me, the low visibility of disciplines.

But it is great that you keep on trying totally new designs -who knows what kind of awesomeness you still unearth!

Thanks for all the effort!

Lönkka: the more I look at it, the more I like it. It's crisp, fresh, and modern. I was using the style of the third generation legend of the five rings cards as inspiration.
