You took all the wrinkles out of his scan?
Wish I could've… but I figured I'd just build one from scratch that'd get the job done as nicely.
That's what I was thinking as well - with the exception of the logo and the ID CARD on mine, it's all rebuilt. I used the ID CARD from the original, as it was easy enough to clean up (I tried rebuilding it, but we both had the same problem - we didn't have the right font for the C.)
I didn't have a logo on hand like you did, sadly, or I would have pushed on a bit further. The big logo on the flip-side on yours is excellent - where'd you get it?
Made it from scratch, I had a vector version of the GB logo left over from another project I'd worked on a while back,(which I now use whenever I need a large version of the Ghostbusters logo) which fitted easily enough into place, however I created the ‘The Real Ghostbusters’ that surrounded it in Illustrator, making the text follow half of a circle each so that it'd curve as close as possible when compared to the original ID card graphic.
Once that was there I imported the curved text into Photoshop. I then went back went back to Illustrator and drew a line and made it follow the same curve as the text, the idea for this being that I'd then make the line thick enough that that when I imported the line into Photoshop I could then blur it and make it look like the curved glow behind the text. The smaller glows behind the letters, specificially the red glow for ‘REAL’ was a standard glow from the layer options.
I hope that makes sense. (*peter)
