PR Fantasy Layout Templates

[philreed]

Available now. A collection of graphics/page designs that can be used royalty-free. Small publishers with limited a graphics budget will find the files in this collection invaluable.

NOTE: Enough people have asked me to assist them in the design and layout of their products that I have put this together. And at a much lower price than it would cost for me to do a custom design.

Using the layered files anyone with minimal Photoshop skills can create dozens of different page designs.

In the demo PDFs, "Template Two" is pointing to templateone.pdf. Just thought I'd let you know.

Cool idea

Weird. I'll fix that. It worked yesterday.

Damn clever idea.

Thanks. I get about one e-mail a week from someone asking me to do their layout for them. When I give a price they usually choke. I figured this was a good was to give those same people an alternative.

Anyone with Pagemaker, In Design, or MS Publisher who is willing to create a template using the graphics that I can include in the collection will be given a free copy of every product I have on RPGNow. I'd like to expand the collection to include other programs but I'm not familiar enough with them (or have copies) to create templates.

I'd be willing to mess around with it over a weekend. I've got InDesign 1.5, Publisher 2000 and PageMarker 7.0 (All Windows based.)

Dude, that's a lot of software.....

Well a long time ago, I bought the Adobe Publishing Collection. I was working a lot of overtime and the price difference between it and Photoshop 5.5 (at the time) was minimal.

At work we were using a lot of Excel and Access so I bought the super duper advanced version of Microsoft Office that came with Publisher, Frontpage and Photodraw.

InDesign was really inexpensive due to some competitive upgrade.

And now you know the rest of the story.

Custom Designs

Yesterday was a day of meetings in the office for me. When I got home five different people had e-mailed me asking for pricing of a custom design (I usually get one a week). To try and slow down the requests here's what is the important information:

I charge $200 for a custom design. This is a color design that's also tweaked for B&W use. This is, of course, considered work-for-hire and you can use it or modify it as much as you like.

With special thanks to Joe there's now an MS Publisher template that uses these graphics. The Publisher template is a free download at www.rpgnow.com. You'll still need the "for pay" download to get the graphics.
