Hello everyone,

I've been given the task to create a mailer that is supposed to look
like a legal government document.

I'm looking to find a site where I can purchase borders, and any other
imagery that would look like a legal government document or stock
certificate.

Sort of this style:
http://us.st3.yimg.com/store1.yimg.com/I/scripophily_1847_405487858

This will be a high resolution print job so i can't just download some
sample from their site and alter it in photoshop.

Any help would be... helpful.

Thanks!

FWIW:
Examining the header of this message indicates that it was posted from
"ArtistMike's" computer. That indicates that the so-called "Roy" is just
another one of "ArtistMike's" sock puppets.

Do you actually think that "Mike" cares what you think he is doing?

hahahaha.

Apparently Mike doesn't care at all since he is posting
counterproductively.

This kind of spam and puppetry serve only to say to me, "Avoid
artistmike, even if he were good."

Do you really think he cares if you think he is good or if you "avoid" him?

Move on.

Likewise, "Roy". On second thought, foad, fool!

Papers.com has many "certificate" style papers. A flatbed scanner would yield
images for you to start with. Several paper companies also offer collections
of "certificates," which should be available at an office supply store. For
pure digital borders, most "clip-art" packages for business offer tons of
borders, that you can assemble as is required. I'm sure that there are clip-
art borders available on the Web, but as I have tons with various
compilations, have never had to look.

One aside, if you scan the document with the border printed, it will save the
time of doing the assembly, though the texture of the paper, on which it is
printed, might cause a few other problems.

Your judgements are irrelevant.
