I designed the book myself and to be honest I am really happy with it.I used some techniques for the for the first time as I am slowly learning my way into design.I give credit to topps american pie which produced a 1/1 booklet of David Prowse and James Earl Jones for the concept.I gave my book the "Lord Vader" treatment and learned quite a bit about the men who brought him to life.Anyways thanks for the look and any constructive design comments are welcome for this beginner.

Looks amazing, as usual. You guys end up with better looking cards than most of what is put out by the major companies. At this point, one of the coolest adjustments I can imagine would be if you can incorporate foil into the text printing or design work. As in, gold or silver foil typesetting. Even being able to do the stars on the front & back of this booklet in gold foil would be amazing.

Other than that, it looks great. I mean, even the "design" team at Panini just figured out how to fade photos instead of using lines to chop off their heads/torsos within the last 12 months, so you're about 20 years ahead of their card designers already.

Thanks man I appreciate it.While I like the look of foil stamp outlines and text it is beyond my way of the printing process right now.I do agree that it would lend a flair to any custom card.I have settled for multi-cut layers on some projects to enhance the appearance of autographs and images.
