Messing around with InDesign.
I decided to design another character sheet for UA while poking around InDesign like an amateur. May not be for fit for all tastes, but I rather like it. Partially inspired by Voidstate. Several elements shamelessly aped from The Designer’s Republic. Rip TDR.

If anyone likes it but wants some tweaks…no problem.
I like it. I’d like it even more if the rants on the sheet were in even more different fonts, especially sloppier ones (reminiscent of hand-scrawled notes). And not always perfectly horizontal/vertically-aligned.
Also, using opacities (or greying out) for some of the rants wouldn’t hurt, just so they’re not so distracting from the actual contents that are going to be written onto the sheet.
Nice job though, I like the… sheet’s… character. It’s not quite as fucked up as Voidstate’s Fucked Up sheet, but at the same time, kind of crazier (the selected lines are well placed and fitting for that concept).
That’s pretty nice!
Well, Wratts…I couldn’t find any handwritten fonts that looked good and if InDesign can perform gray texts, I’m didn’t figure it out. So I upped the crazy and font counts. I kind of prefer v1.0 myself, but I hope you like the revision.

Extra special crazy sauce included free of charge.
I can’t seem to download the sheet from either url. Have you taken it down, or has something gone wrong with mediafire (or am I just an idiot)?
Mediafire was behaving strangely yesterday. I may have made a mistake in sharing, but the site seems pretty idiot proof. I tested the following two links and they appear to be working now. Apologies for the technical difficulties.

I love the revised version.
Awesome job on both versions.
Thanks, Wratts.
It looks good, but it feels too ordered. Perhaps in addition to changing the fonts you might play with the orientation (some sayings, or parts of sayings at different angles), play with font sizes, capitalization and maybe even spelling a bit to make it feel more chaotic.
I have to admit that I love the fact that I can’t make it “crazy” enough for you guys. I’ll get working on it, v=f!.
What the hell? Nothing works for me. Perhaps a non-mediafire link, anyone?
