Severance

Hey guys! Thank's for this amazing cover, Astyanax!

So I ended up taking the official book cover from Apple Books that cocomonk22 posted with the very clear and crips image of Ricken, and the book cover Astyanax created and combined them together for the best of both worlds. Posting a low resolution preview here. I also boosted the original book cover's DPI from 72dpi to 150dpi using AI upscaling which is good for most print cases.

Anyways, let me know if that's ok to post the full resolution file of the one I created, Astyanax, I don't want to step on your toes or anything.

Love it, thank you for sharing, and thanks for asking! It was always intended to be free and open here, so I look forward to your high-res post.

Thanks!

Right on! That's great to hear.

Here's my full res edit!

Thanks for posting! Are there any other changes besides the crystal clear Ricken?

the crystal clear Ricken?

Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

Woops! Sorry I missed the question, no there are no other changes!

Also, love how my book turned out. I airbrushed the sides with orange paint and it turned out perfect.

Thanks a lot Astyanax!

OMG, airbrush! Never even occurred to me!



May I ask what paper you ended up printing on?

May I ask what paper you ended up printing on?

So funny thing, I actually work at a print shop, so I have access to tons of paper options and a couple digital printing presses.

The paper I used for the cover is 100# Dull Text from Titan Digital, printed out on a 12x18 sheet, I think it's an extremely close weight match to the 'Look Out for the Little Guy' book cover.

Also, I figured I'd post this here as well, I re-created the Senior Refiner Checklist from the screenshot previously in the thread. It's an Illustrator PDF, so you can open it in Illustrator to edit, but you'll need the following font:

• Forma DJR Display - This is available on Adobe fonts if you are subscribed to Adobe Creative Cloud. In retrospect I probably should have used Forma DJR Text, but I didn't realize there were multiple versions of Forma DJR.

I actually created a couple more that are not re-creations from the show but inspired documents that I made for a coworker's birthday, not sure if I'm allowed to post those here.

Thanks so much for the info and the contribution!

So I didn't see these available anywhere so I ended up creating these. The back is unfinished, because I couldn't tell what the back said in red when Milchick turned it over after getting it from the back of the toilet.

If anyone has any ideas I'll update the file!

I sized it at roughly 6"x3.75" based on relative sizes, but if anyone has notes, let me know!

Ricken reminds me of the Therman character from Dinner For Schmucks:

Almost a year ago I saw Astyanax's awesome recreation of Riken's book dust cover, so I said to myself that I had to do at least a mock-up of the front cover:

The portrait was enhanced with Topaz Photo AI, found all the fonts, but as you can see the background is just a placeholder, hence this is just a mock-up.

For some unknown reason, I was reluctant on watching the series, but last week I watched season 1 and the first 4 episodes of season 2 and I got hooked with the whole concept and the abundance of paper props.

With the release of the first 8 chapters on Apple Books, I have found a good quality photo of Riken with an extended background, but the top section was missing, so I used the cover from the audio book to recreate the top section:


This is the result:


And here's how the cover looks at this moment:


Made a lot of screencaps and did some of the paper props:






The envelope is 252 x 231 mm printed and 140 x 100 mm fully closed. The inside part is optional. The apology card is 136 x 188 mm fully opened, while Pip's VIP card is 90 x 55 mm.



Petey's Celebration of Life program is a standard LTR in size (279 x 216 mm), while the Sarum Prayer card is 70 x 50 mm. The back of the card is made up and is optional in lack of reference.

More will follow, but first I'll have to catch up with other projects (too much on the workbench).

 

[Astyanax]

Love it so much, thank you for the contributions. I have to get printing!

 

[RafalFett]

I really like what you did with that cover and the how-to of the book, so I thank you for indirectly stirring me toward the series!

A comment on the prayer card, which is awesome, by the way!

I noticed that it is clearly laminated with rounded corners:



The nearest standard laminating sheet size that makes sense to me is 2.32" by 3.70" (59mm x 94mm) in size:



So anyone printing, please consider resizing for lamination if that's what you intend!

Good catch! Somehow I missed those frames, so I'll have to see if I can update the prayer card. Thanks!

All good, sir, teamwork in service to accuracy!

Made as 90 x 55 mm in size. The corners of the card are straight, only the laminating pouch have round corners. I think the photo of Petey is more in line with the theme of the ceremony.

Nice work!

I like the illiterate attempt to be chic with the spelling error for "grill". It really says something. Like there used to be a café in Calgary years ago called "La Bagette"...
