spazman44 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Does anyone have any tips on how they would go about (in PDN or Inkscape) creating a design that appears to be made up of paper scraps? Similar to Tip's artwork for his 2008 album: "Paper Trail"?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I assume you are referring to this: http://www.hellmatt.schulen5103.ch/RPM2008_09/internetarbeit_jana_p/bilder/T.I_Diskografie/T.I._Paper%20Trail.jpg I don't know why you'd consider using Inkscape for a design like this; that would be insane. You're going to need to create a bunch of paper scraps (or use stock images), and layer them like crazy. Don't forget the drop shadows. You will also need to identify the light & dark parts of the base photo, so that you know where to place the dark scraps and the light scraps of paper. 1 Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yes there is a relatively easy way to do this... #1 You're going to need plenty of smallish images of torn paper. Collect* or make them** and stuff them in their own folder somewhere. #2 Download and install this plugin Mosaic Maniac #3 Um. No. Forget this step. #4 Run the plugin (Effect > Artistic > Collage Paint). #5 Navigate to your torn paper images and select the folder. #6 Hit Ok and wait. Here's Obama rendered from a folder full of icons I had lying around * Google "torn paper brushes" to find pre-made sets. ** How would I make a lot of small images of torn paper? I'd tear up a glossy magazine and arrange the pieces on my scanner's bed. Then scan them, remove the white background, select them individually and use TR's Export Selection plugin to save them. 3 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...

Eli Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 #1 You're going to need plenty of smallish images of torn paper. Collect* or make them** and stuff them in their own folder somewhere. EER, this is a wonderful idea for a new plugin: a Paper Shredder/Ripper plugin. It will be less messy than actually doing it. We could then use the ripped pieces of paper and TR's Custom Random Filler plugin to compose Paper Trail type designs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat71896 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 When I try to download that Mosaic Maniac, it shows that the URL is gone. And, I really need a photo collage, is this one for photos too? or just for isolated positions on a page? Am I looking in the wrong place??
