Thanks Shane,

Why not get one custom made from a joinery or cabinetmaker. Might cost a bit more but you will get exactly what you want.

In XP you can right click on a file and goto —>open with—>choose program

Then pick Photoshop CS and check the ‘always use selected program to open this type file’

You would have to do this with all your diff file types if you do it this way though.

Maybe I downloaded it,

Try search for ‘inkspot’ at Adobe studio exchange. Theres some good brushes there.

There is a brush in illistrator you could use to make the ink drops. Make them different layers for each drop.
Try animating the scale of the drops in AE, maybe set keyframe to ease in so they grow fast then ‘bleed’ out slowly at the end. Also mess with blending modes so it looks more like its soaking into paper.

Someone else might know a better way of doing this, I guess it depends on the level of detail you need and how fast it will all happen.

What do you want them to do in after effects?

Josh

I don’t know any tutorials covering this but check out these sites for some good fonts and brushes to give you that look.
