Can anybody help me with a template (what size to be, what fonts to use etc) for NES and SNES games.
I want to remake some of the manuals and share them with you.
My first priority is to make them to be like the official ones (I'm a perfectionist).
Program that I use for this is Adobe Photoshop CS5.
Thanks!

There is a site "What The Font" that you can use to find fonts, just post a pic and it finds it.
NES and SNES manuals never realy fallow a template, SNES there is somewhat of a consistant template, but there is a lot of variation.
I can later try to get the size my NES ans SNES manuals and make a simple template.
I use CS3 BTW.

larryinc64 for images the best strategy is to vectorized them?
About "What The Font", I've used it but for all the fonts you have to pay... Sadly I didn't find a site with free fonts that I have found on "What The Font".
In the first place I'm more interested on the NES manual template than SNES.
Can you give me a link with a tutorial "how to vectorize a image using CS5"? I find a tutorial for CorelDraw X4...
