Manual Project
Spoonman:
This is a cool idea. I was thinking about doing something like this a while ago, but haven't gotten very far. I was trying to print, cut and staple a manual together myself, but the problem is, these scans, and at least one other that I know I found a while ago, are done of the open book, so in sequence. But what I would need to do is print pages that had page 1 and the last page together, and 2 and 2nd last, etc. etc. So that it would staple together nicely.
Has anyone done anything like that yet?
This metroid manual would be the first one I want to make:

I've thought about that whenever I began creating the Oz manual. I am not printing manuals; I've decided to keep digital copies. I have printed manuals in the past and I usually print manuals like a greeting card - front and back. I use semi-gloss paper. However, I could easily rearrange the pages of my reproductions. I am thinking that I will do so and upload Hull and Oz in that manner - digital format (sequential) and print format.
I had to fight with sizing. Measurement of snes is 1395x1012 but this size is not working for me. I've settled with 1381x1008.
anyway, I will upload both formats. Perhaps we, as a community, can settle on a template.
printing opinions wanted ...
I'm in favor of a Metroid repro. good idea to add NES manuals.
By the way, I have downloaded a marked copy of Nightmare on Elm Street poster and cleaned it a few years ago. I could add the poster here too, thus, we can add posters/maps project.
Spoonman, I've seen that name before. maybe a watermark on box scans? the name sounds familiar. hmm.

update
Oz is very difficult to reproduce at a high quality. I have spent over a year on this one. I have alot of touch up work to do yet. I have managed to capture alot of fine details in the image for the cover. I have some personal matters to deal with and I will not be working on covers or manuals now for a few days. I am almost finished with Oz and I will be posting it as soon as it is complete.
Thanks for reading. Be back soon ...
