Syt,

I really liked your suggestions, and started off by changing the type. I found a hoard of good fonts demonstrating a wide variety of key degradation, and selected one that I liked called "Underwood Champion". It was lucky that I hadn't rasterized the old font already. Of course the new font was completely different in character and required about an hour of adjusting lines. That looked good, but while I was experimenting with ways to make correction-tape type impressions, my wife pointed out that if someone typed on the form, they surely did not type in blue. Point taken.

I started out in the typing and document world back in 1981 when I joined the United States Air Force. I learned a lot about white out, correction tape, IBM Selectrics and the like. Getting any kind of a good effect was frustrating, until I happened up on the idea of using a layer behind the type and actually typing slightly off-white letters with the smallest of drop shadows. That worked out good, and with a bit of low-flow erasing after the fact, it turned out okay. There are probably forty corrected typos in there.

The photos were simply a matter of properly sizing the artifacts to go with each other, and arranging to type. It really does look a lot better this way Syt, and I have nobody but you to thank. Oh, I found a website that would take your type and convert it into an old Dyno label maker labels with tape of your choice (http://www.acme.com/labelmaker/), so I used that rather than one of the several label fonts out there. I think the off-beat color hints a little at the eclectic taste so often expressed in universities. Most people had either black or medium red tapes.

Time to hit the rack. Thanks again.
