ParticipantHey all,
I’m wondering what software people are using to design the player aids here on the site.
Thanks,
Jay

KeymasterI use standard design software that I use in my day job as a professional graphic designer (my business site is universalhead.com) – the Adobe Creative Suite: Illustrator (for some icons and all vector images), Photoshop (for backgrounds, logos and all bitmap images), and inDesign (to put it all together and for text); and then I save to PDF from inDesign.

ParticipantSketchUp might be something useful for you (it used to be Google SketchUp but they span it off).
Universal Head is a pro designer so he uses the “second mortgage” suite of Adobe tools but for most of us I reckon SketchUp would do the job. I use the free one a bit myself as an artistic director in theatre design but some of the real stage designers in my theatre club do much better stuff with it.
There’s a free version (more than enough for me) and a paid (pro) one.

KeymasterI used SketchUp for my first foamcore box insert plans, but it became too time consuming so I settled on the photographic system I now use.
You can only use SketchUp for 3D though – crustymonkey might be referring to my rules summaries?
