MEAT (Mankind for Ethical Animal Treatment)

Based on a magazine shown in from Futurama season 2 episode 18 "The Problem With Popplers". Video clip here.

This design is intended to be printed on A3 paper and used as a cover for a fake magazine by stapling it to a bunch of other A3 pages and folding them in half.

Design method

• QR Code (containing the URL to this repository) generated with Python qrcode package: qr --factory=svg 'https://github.com/PhilboBaggins/meat-magazine-cover' > qrcode.svg
• 1-Capture.png was captured from the video
• 1-Capture.png was then cropped to create 2-Cropped.png
• 2-Cropped.png was then opened in Gimp and the perspective was fixed to create 3-PerspectiveFixed.png
• 3-PerspectiveFixed.png was then opened in Upscayl and upscaled 4x using the "Digital Art" model to create 4-PerspectiveFixed_upscayl_4x_realesrgan-x4plus-anime.png
• 4-PerspectiveFixed_upscayl_4x_realesrgan-x4plus-anime.png was opened in Gimp and:
  • The clone and brush tools were used to remove the hand from the lower right and clean up a few other areas (especially the edges of the picture)
  • The clone tool was used to remove the "M.E.A.T." text from the top; this also meant removing the right rope of the swing but that was fixed by cloning the left rope
  • Resize to landscape A3 and fill in blanks with clone and spill pain tools
  • Add the "M.E.A.T." text
  • Add the "Mankind for Ethical Animal Treatment" text (not in the original, but I think we need to add it because people won't know what "M.E.A.T." means without the show to tell them)
  • Add QR code
  • Saved as MEAT.xcf
  • Exported to MEAT.png
