Machin album cover image recommendation
"Sir F. A. Rien" wrote in message
news "Pedro" found these unused words: "Sir F. A. Rien" wrote in message . .. "Pedro" found these unused words: Dear friends, I am making my personal Machin stamp album and would like to place a representative image of its contents on the cover. I would like to hear some proposals from you so I'd be able to create a beautiful album cover. Any ideas are welcome. If possible, I'd appreciate also if you could provide links to public domain images, or not so public domain but that they could serve as an inspiration. Thanking you all in advance, Pedro What about a photo/image of the Machin bust? http://www.thepotteries.org/did_you/machin/cast.jpg You could use a graphics program to crop it in an oval with softened edges. Of course you could bid on the fourth, recently found, cast ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/theroyalfamily/2674511/Arnold-Machin-plaster-cast-used-for-image-of-Queen-on-stamps-is-found.html and use it as the actual 'cover'! That's a fine idea too. I am planning indeed to make 2 other albums more. One for my 8 years old nephew, and another one for a friend. I like very much Ralph's proposal and yours, and at this time, I don't know which one to get for mine. Pedro Have a look at either: http://ttrr.org/scans/cast_mod.jpg or http://ttrr.org/scans/cast_mod.tif This will print out at about 6x8. If you want smaller, then have the printer resize, don't use a program to resample and resave as it's already been jpg'd twice [or more] and on the edge of bing 'rough'. Excellent image. I've used it for my second album. It's very beautiful too. Both albums are impressive. Thank you very much for your proposals. Pedro |

What is your source of Machins? It has been quite some time since I dealt with my Machins. Computer problems, a change in servers and CRS have taken a toll on me. Bombay gives me most of the new issues but I need selective buying to fuill the gaps. Ralph |

FWIW Images are now being removed from my site, Links are thus invalid. First of all, excuse my delay in answering. I've been not visiting the news for some days. I finally made two albums some days ago: one for my nephew and another one for me. On the front cover of my nephew's album I used the collage image I created placing many machins over my flatbed scanner as Ralph recommended me. Unfortunately this album has been sent from Madrid to the Canary Islands so I cannot make a photo of it, but...luckily I used the collage image also on the back cover of mine, so all of you can enjoy taking a look at it. I used the Machin bust image for my front cover as you suggested. I put no title on front cover in the same way british stamps have no written denomination. Perhaps a no margins printing also on the front cover of my album would be better. I don't know. Let me know your comments about my work, please. Here are the images.: http://cjoint.com/data/fAq1Vo1WpP.htm http://cjoint.com/data/fAq3ViOYLO.htm Pedro |

Your work place is too neat! G Looks great with the paper margins, though I'd suggest a plastic sheet as the 'final cover' over the printed one to save scraping and dirt. The collage is busy, excellent for the back, but the simpilicity of the bust on the front attracts me more. If you download Irfanview, you can easily crop and touch up your camera's images. On with your Machin'ations! You haven't seen the other half of my work place yet G There is a transparent plastic sheet in front of both covers. I placed their bright side looking inwards to avoid reflections and scratches. That, and because I used no flashlight may be the reason why it seems unprotected. Thanks for your comments! Pedro |
