What software programs are you using to create your props? You should be able to replace the color in that logo with black if you have PhotoShop or other editing software.
i have tried using illustrator cs3 and adobe photoshop cs2 but cant seem to get or edit the particular image i want to change which is the ministry of magic image and cant find any other sources for that image |

In PhotoShop, go to filters--adjustments--thresholds. That should turn the brown color to black. You can move the slider bar to adjust the image.

That's a super DP you've done there MuggleMum, thank you VERY much for sharing it with us ... nice use of the watermarking too!!!  I think it fair to say that that particular prop is a favourite with many of the Forum members (myself included), which is probably a good thing considering how many swatches we've had from it in the various Potter card sets!!   harrymad08 - take your time and post a pic of your prop when you're ready as I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Thanks Nienna! That is really nice of you to say so.  |

I've been working on a Lockhart Magical Me book for a while (I was getting frustrated with it, so I put it away). I bought a Lockhart chocolate frog card, removed the backing so that it's now a nice, thin lenticular, and that will go on the cover of the book. It isn't as good as the real picture of Lockhart, but at least it has motion. That sounds like a great idea kbmum......i would love to see it when its finished |

As I said before you have to draw the artwork either in a software programme or by hand...then you scan it in and add it to your prop.
Yes I used layers for OWLs.

You can either do them literally by hand or I would imagine a program like Paint would give you some options/tools for drawing those symbols, since they look like a combination of lines and circles. There are some pretty clear photos of the original prop online. Try places like the Leaky Cauldron and other harry potter fan sites--they usually have photo galleries of actual screen used props that might be of some help. I could be wrong, but isn't there a sticker book out there with the Ministry "M" logo? Those pictures might be scanned online and then you could use that as your guide for the one you are doing. |

I'll see if I can find some links or pictures for you later today. I know I have seen them somewhere, I just can't remember where. I ran across them back when Order of the Phoenix was released in the theater, but I'm sure they are still online somewhere. It can be a bit daunting doing the research, especially when there is so little out there...I'm sure you are researching properly--finding exactly what you need is kind-of like a treasure hunt, isn't it? |

Hi Marcuss, these are great...have you got pics of them printed so we can get the full effect .What others do you make? Thanks  I haven't print them out yet, but I will do later and put some pics in here. I also made a "Bulgaria vs Ireland" and a "Terror at Quidditch World Cup" Prophet. I know this was posted already but here is another version of the MoM Logo: http://www.hooverae.com/upload/files/210308/6149392.gif |
