Notepad Theme For Cardflick

   Working on a theme for CardFlick, and I thought a "hand-drawn" feel might be a good change of pace. I made certain decisions with layout due to the constraints of dynamic content.

   Currently, I'm using fonts from Google's Font API but I may push for the use of Prova by Gerren or Funktion by Kyle.

   I like the hand-drawn feel of this. I would keep the typeface you are currently using. What does it look like below the crop?

   Also, I think the edge of the photo might be a little too fuzzy compared to the sharpness of the type and the paperclip.

   Good all around, though.

   @Andy, check the attachment. Good catch on the sharpness, already fixed it. :D

   @Chandler, I totally overlook that attachment link on every Dribbble post. Looks great below the crop!

   Can you make the "Contact Info" lines a little more organic? Just a bit, though.

   I like this... also, +1 for Ketan's idea. Some Steedicons may, perhaps be in order?

   Notepad Theme v2

   Updated with more organic lines and some hand-drawn icons. Icons are fun to draw! Should I mimic the "filled in" state of the other two icons for the email icon?

   If you're looking for my two cents keep reading, if not, ignore.

   I like the concept, but it might feel better to create a background that represents a notepad instead of using a photo of an actual note pad. The background feels very real but the text doesn't. You want the background and foreground to feel like it's on the same plane instead of floating above it. I hope that makes sense.

   @Marco Good point, thanks for your two cents. Here's an update. I recreated the notebook paper and gave the text color 80% opacity, so that the yellow color would come through, and a little of the blue lines. I gave a slight "impression" feel for the larger text pieces.

    Ketan,

    I always tag my shots with the fonts I use. "Love Ya Like a Sister" and "Reenie Beanie," both of which are Google Fonts.
