Nice Paper Toys
The Idea Thread
Hi everyone!
We're all passionate about paper toys. After all, that's why we're here. But as awesome as paper toys are, there's always room for improvement and innovation.
Plus I'm sure that many people here would like to improve their techniques, establish a stronger presence, get more publicity, get more customs and etc.
That's why I created this thread. This can be a place to discuss and exchange ideas to improve the creation, distribution and maybe even marketing of paper toys.
So feel free to share your ideas, lessons learnt, resources or whatever that you think is worth sharing, for a better generation of paper toys!

Here's a few resources for making patterns.
Pattern cooler is great place for free, customizable pattern templates. I've used some of them and they worked nicely. I'm sure the creat0or went through a lot to create the awesome site. http://www.patterncooler.com/
Repper is a tool for creating your own patterns. It lets you easily make patterns which would normally be a pain to do in illustrator (well, for me anyway).
It costs $43 but the demo is free so you can check it out if its for you. http://repperpatterns.com/

I like the idea of QR codes alot, and now that you mention it I'm probably going to look into it for my templates. I know very well how people hate to be bugged with typing in a website, since we're all just that lazy. XP
