Re: Graph Paper
Don't know about spreading awareness, but its always good to find somewhere with stuff going on. WOS can be a bit desolate these days.
Re: Graph Paper
Thanks so much for this! I was looking for something like this, and this is perfect. Thank you for sharing!arkannoyed wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 11:46 am Probably around 1985 I somehow acquired a graphics design pad with tear-off sheets made by Protek.
Probably 5 or so years ago, I recreated it from a scan of the original in Illustrator, so if you print this off, then you'll have quite a nice
clean graphical design sheet to play with.

Re: Graph Paper
No problem at all. It’s good to print off and have a doodle. With the original pad that’s how I created loads of stuff I’ve still got hanging around on mgt +D disks. I used to photocopy the sheet, then use it again in the copier to get a pixelated version of images, mainly solid objects or logos.

Re: Graph Paper
A couple of years ago, I had a bunch of pads printed up by a local print shop - ended up doing two versions - 256x192 in 8x8 blocks and one that would work as VGA 13h or C64/similar. My rationale was that I started learning pixel art on purpose-made pads that I bought at a ZX Microfair, and kept getting frustrated with standard 10x10 grid graph paper. I figured it might be worth making something for those of us who might feel more comfortable planning things with pencil and paper. They are press-printed, not digital, as I found that grids would be erased along with any pencil markings on the digitally-printed test copy.
I was selling them on Etsy for a while, but never got round to doing any proper promotion of them, so ended up dropping the listings. Still got quite a few of both available, if anyone's interested.
