a vintage playbill inspired doc!
it’s been a hot second since i’ve done anything docs-related but i wanted to share my latest adventure! i made this doc to house a version of my muse that’s a 1920s era actor, complete with sepia-toned faceclaim photos & an alt title page that’s been run through photoshop w some free textures & things. i tried putting the textures on the whole doc, but it made it extremely difficult to read, so i ended up leaving the textured title page as a header on the actual blog, and kept the doc itself unaltered. though, if you found the right texture pack, you could probably run it through photosh.op and set it as a pdf for your mutuals to get into. (make sure you have all the fonts installed on your computer, i Did Not)
this doc can be found here and in the source link if you want to take a stab at customizing it, though i recommend it only for people who have moderate to maybe advanced?? skill in docs. placing some of the object pngs inside the table was out of my skill range to begin with and the fact that it figured itself out in the end is a miracle. but anyway. all images are replaceable if you can get under the other images to them. i did my own coloring but docs does have a built-in sepia filter if you’re not about doing all that yourself
there is a title page, a rules page, a character page w images, and another sort of empty unformatted page at the end you could delete out or customize with extra information. i personally think the last page is the best place to put the backstory and the little squares can be all your info spots / connections / verses, but that’s not even what i did lmao so you do you!!
ngl i’m not sure if i will be much help about it but do let me know if you have any questions on formatting the doc. start by going to file > make a copy and renaming your new doc. docs are for personal, individual use only & credit must remain intact. i worked hard on my baby. also sterling is my oc plz don steal etc etc. specifically 'the cutting room floor' is my tagline on sterling's blog so that title belongs to him as well. but yeah if you make anything using my docs pls pls pls tag me or dm me and show me?? i wanna seeeeeee. ok ty ily have a good timezone 💕💃
