Seconded on wanting a return of the yellow and black cards! It's great that the current version has new card functions, but the sleekness of the old designs really worked well - it's cool to have a safety tool feel like a trendy item!

Alas I no longer have my saved copy from when it was available, so even if you made the old dowload available again that'd be amazing. Thanks so much!

I understand the desire to have a cool looking design, but that design was a gift and it also was one that many noted was very bright and sometimes hard to look at. I designed the new cards myself and spent six months designing it to the dream style I had wanted to do for Script Change since the start, in part because people were declining to properly credit me and claiming that the tools I spent 10 years designing were useless without the work of another person (the layout designer).

So, I understand liking the yellow cards! But I also feel to a degree that it's a little insulting to ask me to go back to another person's design when I learned how to use InDesign to make the new design and cards, and I also feel like I would be moving backwards in color accessibility for those who asked me to change from the yellow to move back to it or make the primary cards that bright yellow again.

I will consider making the download available, but I do admit a little bit of disappointment in people responding like I didn't invest a decade into this project and months into the planning and redesign after having to fight to have my work recognized as mine at all. I thought my design was pretty decent, but if the trendiness is priority, I see the issue. I'll update with a design blog if I decide to make the download available again.

I apologise for causing offense! I do still use (and appreciate) the current build with the expanded usage case, but I like the previous incarnation also; was curious about getting access to it again, and couldn't find a mention of why it's no longer available. Please don't take this as a call to replace the current incarnation or anything so extreme.

If you choose to have Clayton Notestine's design as an additional download anywhere, I'd aprreciate it, but if you'd rather not, no worries.

I had primarily taken Clayton's down just because of the overload of files on the page - not meant to malign Clayton! - it was just so much stuff and it got pretty confusing. I have no ill will toward it, I just wanted to ensure people could easily find the new complete documents. I'll try to restore it this weekend in a zip file if that is okay (will post a devlog), that way it's downloadable but it doesn't make it hard for people to find the Final (mostly because I updated language in the Final that is important in part for translations).

I appreciate the understanding, and I promise I don't mean to be sharp! I just wanted to contextualize how difficult this can be from the creative perspective, and why it is so challenging to meet everyone's requests at times.

For sure! Thanks for being so accomodating and I appreciate you taking the time.

Here you go! https://thoughty.itch.io/script-change/devlog/640183/yellow-layout-by-clayton-no...

Rad, thanks so much for taking the time!
