I'm asking her nicely to do all my flags for this project.<br /><br />I really like how they've been turning out. Especially the font.<br /><br />GregBloggeratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501347647235993401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-78647168791257132222012-02-08T10:42:15.175+11:002012-02-08T10:42:15.175+11:00Go the hand drawn paper flags, route, man.

For mine they have a certain character you don't get with printed flags (though I'll use them too!).<br /><br />Here's a couple of refinements I use. Having drawn in the gold fringes, I like to cut into them a little to make them into actual fringes. But the other I like is to mark out the flags mirror-imaged parallelograms, sloping down from the central 'pole' section. Of course you do have to distort the designs and printing to accommodate, but that's easy enough to do. You find the paper flags 'drape' better that way.<br /><br />This effect can be achieved with the Warflags flags, but I'll have to try it again myself, as I've forgotten what program I used in the past to do this....Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
