Hi

I have found a copy of a ticket inside a Harry Potter gift book and I have scanned it in. It is very accurate (apart from incorrect text) but fuzzy so i am redrawing it inside inkscape.

I am searching Corbis for the main clipart that goes on the front of the quibbler as I am pretty sure WB Graphics have used them in the past. (I found some artwork for some honeydukes sweets there before)

I have identified most of the fonts for the quibbler and almost all of them for the Daily Prophet and I have been getting lots of reference images for both.

Those specrespecs look great! I hope you can find a good solution for the lenses. Grin

Tom


what fonts have you identified?

The books I put together from scans or large jpegs of the original props then printed, and glued onto pre-existing books that were about the same size as the originals, and the candy boxes were also scanned from references and touched up in photoshop. The chocolate frog box was made by someone else...it's my favorite item and surprisingly close to the original, down to the same star patterned foil that lines the inside of it! Some designs like the pumpkin juice label and various paper props I got from members on thereplicapropforum.com where people shared files they worked on etc. I sculpted and painted the pumpkin tops and the bottles were just beer bottles from Germany.

Overall it was a fun project to experiment with printing, constructing, and weathering various items!

The Dark Arts book is blank inside but the potion book has pages that I put together from old alchemy texts/images found online...it sort of became an obsession for a few months lol, but I was really wanting to make a good replica of the book :
