Indeed :) I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the built in shadows for my own banners might only serve to irritate.

Something that someone else mentioned to me when I was all set to do loads of really outlandish shapes - bear in mind that text manipulation in CC3 isn't the same as if you were using PS, and that not everyone has the software to do any post processing. There are certain types of banner that would be pretty difficult to use. It was suggested that I stick mainly with straight ones, but I think I will throw in a couple of perfect arcs just for a bit of variety.

After all - what is impossible today might not be tomorrow.

Great mapwork there, Quenten :)

This is a pure coincidence, but have you heard about the November mapping competition being run by Michael Tracey over on DND/RPG Maps on FaceBook? It's being sponsored by Profantasy, and the subject is castle maps.

No worries if you aren't a member of that group, but it's right here if you want to show your stuff: https://www.facebook.com/groups/256388815313777/permalink/680900526195935/?notif_id=1605854734852506&notif_t=group_post_mention&ref=notif

Oh you're doing banners as well? Snap! So am I. But mine won't help until sometime next year.

I think I prefer number 2, because they will be more visible than the others.

Try a few drop shadow effects on them ;)

Hi Daisho :)

That's "Munson's Mines" - the May issue of the 2017 CA

And Dalton! LOL!

A guess this is a popular first thought.

I will think about it, but for now I am wrestling more with what style, how many styles, parchment type... really basic stuff ;)
