http://www.diyplanner.com/handbookV3/hb09_Hipgraphic Comments for "The Graphics Version" en http://www.diyplanner.com/handbookV3/hb09_Hipgraphic <p><strong>The graphics version is for those people who:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Have problems printing with the supplied PDFs because of their printers (or cranky Acrobat settings).</li> <li>Want to use a different layout programs, such as Freehand, Illustrator, CorelDRAW or OpenOffice.org Draw.</li> <li>Use Avery perforated forms, or similar, and want to paste the D*I*Y templates into their regular layout program.</li> <li>Use different paper sizes and want to arrange the templates to make the best use of space.</li> <li>Want to make minor modifications to the templates such as changing colours, titles, spacings or supplied text.</li> <li>As this covers quite a number of possibilities and setups, they cannot all be covered here. What we can recommend is to try layouts using the free <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/">OpenOffice.org</a> Draw (you can put a different card on each 'slide') and graphics manipulation using the free application <a href="http://www.gimp.org">The Gimp</a>. The D*I*Y planner uses the free font named <a href="http://www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=blue_highway">Blue Highway</a>.</li> </ul> <p>For those who are curious about such things, the file format used is 8-bit PNG, and should work well with almost any modern bitmap graphic application.</p> <p>Please note that these graphic files are released under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial No-Derivatives licence.
