I'am interested in making some new virtual sets for the Stargate TCG and while I'am experienced enough in plugin creation, maintaining them and other bits of coding what I really lack is any ability with graphics.
What I'am seeking help with is to make a series of blank card templates similiar to those posted at http://andrewheintz.googlepages.com/home2. However there's a few problems with those and making them work with MSE (Magic Set Editor). As outlined by one of the MSE Template developers:
So, I was wondering if we have anyone in the community capable and willing to help me out with this endeavor?

Quote1.) They aren't completely blanked; there're still text elements on them. Now, I can see that the person using them would take these little pieces of text and paste them over the other text elements, but you can't do that in MSE - the various elements used need to all be exactly uniform in placement. For instance, on the Asgard-Support frame, the floating 6 can't be bigger than the floating 5 - they have to be exactly the same.
2.) Following from that, the template would be extremely large because you can't just type in your own typeline - you have to change frames to change type (which means lots more memory occupied by the template). If the original creator had just stripped that bit of text off, there'd be one Asgard frame, one Ancients frame, etc., and it would be much easier to work with. There also wouldn't be missing frames. And of course, you could make new card types and stuff like that.
3.) They're low quality. He was probably working from a card database or preview images or something, which I explicitly say is a bad idea in my "standard response". To get quality, you really need to work from good scans.
