I'm making a custom 25th figure and I want to design a file card for him. is there a site that has templates, or do i just have to go crazy in photoshop to do it. Also does anyone know the exact fonts that are used in the file cards?

Joecustoms has a filecard generator, but it is awful. I'd recommend just going the photoshop route, you can probably get a template made in an hour.

I've got a good answer for you, Go to www.mininova.com
and do a search for comic fonts (there will be plenty to choose from). This is a torrent site, so you have to have utorrent or a program like it to download the files, but I hope that helps. |

The type font is American Typewriter, or something like that. If you do a search and can't find it, I'll check my photoshop when I get home and get the exact name I use. Then all you have to do is work in layers and type over the old font and erase the background. Here's the file cards for a few Cobra Commanders I've done: |

I think you are better off going crazy in photoshop. Everytime I've seen a file card that was made with a computer template, the spacing turned out horrible.
