Over the summer, I scanned in nineteen images of graphics from the
book "Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise", with the admitted intent
of scaling them up and papering my dorm room with them. ;)
However, the bitmap scans came out slightly dirty, and when scaled up,
they're too blocky to be even remotely decorative!
So, let's make a deal. I'll send you a stuffed-binhex'ed file of all
nineteen graphics if you'll put some effort into cleaning them up.
Ideally, it'd be nice if you could convert the bitmaps to Bezier
curves or polygon objects so they'd look nice no matter what scale
they're at, but I have precious little experience and even less
patience in messing with Bezier curves -- that's why I'm soliciting
the help of the net in this.
Here's what I've got:
- Door insignia: executive science officer, chief engineer
- Departmental logos: command, science, medical, communications,
engineering and related services, weapons and defense, transporter
systems, shipboard services, environmental engineering
- Shipboard symbols: turbolift, airlock/docking port, cargo facility,
phaser battle games, three-dimensional chess, light cube tables
- Fonts: microgramma, microgramma bold extended, starfleet bold
extended
(The fonts are actually just one bitmap file with a picture of each
letter on it -- a sample sheet -- but, if you have the tools to turn
these into real Macintosh fonts, that would be nice...)
The files are SuperPaint 2.0 PICT files. They should be readable by
other programs, too. It's all line-art; no shading, although shading
and colors will be easy once these things are put into object format
(as opposed to the bitmap format they're in now).
Please, only reply if you intend to help clean these things up at all,
and you think you might be able to do a good job! If all you want are
the images, hold off; I'll put a copy of the collected, completed work
up somewhere grabbable once it looks presentable. Even if you can
clean up one or two, that might be better than nothing...
Thanks for the help -- send email to me rather than posting here,
because posts tend to get lost in the flood of news...
