Wagic Card Backs

Post by Jeck »

These are the card backs I just slapped together for my personal use. PSD files are available by request (send me a PM)

To install (as if you don't know :P), just save one set of the above files as "back.jpg" and "back_thumb.jpg" into your res/sets directory

Edit: below was my comment for the initial version of the cards, which are not the ones above:
This looks gorgeous, although as I told you in PM, maybe a bit too close to the original design for us to put in the default version?
I think the elements you put are good, but the layout is too close to the orignal MTG theme.

Here are a few random suggestions that could help change this, in case you are considering adding this to the default Wagic release (which I would love).
Not all these changes have to be made I guess, so pick the ones you like.

- replace the background ellipse with another geometric shape
- Don't put the mana icons in circle, maybe align them, or something
- The magic cards background was made to look like a book. This one does too..maybe there are ways to get a bit away from that
- change the overall positions of elements ? Mana icons on top, title in the middle, maybe ?
- change the font for a completely different one (I know it's not exactly the MTG one, but it feels very close to it) ?

Other suggestions are welcome, but right now it feels to me that with such a design I would run into trouble with WotC :cry:

This is great work!


I personally really like the first card back! Is it possible to add one of them to the official release?

Dr.Solomat, I think the first one is too dangerous in terms of "copyright" issues.
I would love to add the second one to the official release though

wololo and co.,

i would suggest a limited time poll for voting on the card back because i like the bottom far right. but i also can see it is way easy to replace the image oneself.

awesome work

Well, I can include all of these images (except the first one) in the default package, and let people choose, but if you're of an easy way to change ingame, I'm currently too busy to do that

I didn't include the first one, which is too close to WotC's design IMO
