chinarich Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Hi, I'm fairly new to Paint.NET and have a quick question. I'm trying to design a credit card which I want to use on the cover of my novel. I want this to look realistic and it will show my name on it - as the author of the book - and a bank I have invented for the story. I have found tutorials on-line but they are for photoshop and I am having trouble interpreting some of the actions in Paint. Does anyone know of any tutorials specific to Paint? I have searched the forum but maybe I missed it if it's here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I haven't seen anything specifically for credit cards. What sort of actions are you having trouble with? Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowman Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Welshblue has some good designs of credit cards, I remeber he posted some examples and they were done in PDN, But as a tutorial, I don't remeber there is any. This image from welshblue gallery, they look great, aren't they? http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/197/3/0/no_charge_by_pdnwelsh-d6dr7u1.png Edited March 16, 2014 by yellowman Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Had some fun with this. PM me if you want the PDN file. The size is 963 x 612 with 12 layers. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks Drew. I really wish Welshy would tell us how he did the embossed text on his cards. I had a really quick go and and failed badly Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I suspect bevel selection was involved Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

chinarich Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks everyone for the replies, seems a friendly community around here. The text was one of the things that was killing me, so I've downloaded that Oval font - thanks Welshblue - and will have another bash. I'll come back to post my effort so everyone can have a good laugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
