Keyset Checker A4 for ISO / German sets

I needed to take some photos of my key sets, and I found these handy key check sheets by samwisekoi and SmallFry on Geekhack:

http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=368 ... #msg694748

The really nice one by SmallFry needs a large American paper format and is ANSI. Samwisekoi has one that can be printed on A4 and even a UK ISO one, but that one has a few small errors, like the left shift being ANSI on the ISO version and there only being one (7u) spacebar. Also the layout is a bit crude, especially for the numpad part.

So I decided I could as well brush up my mad early nineties CorelDraw skillz and make my own one. This first one is for ISO German, because my sets are mostly that. UK layer is almost done and will follow if there's any interest. Maybe also ANSI and other languages, and a color version for inkjet users.

Feedback is welcome of course. Layout-wise A4 is very limiting, just enough area for a set plus Tsangan kit.

Well done, that's a nice and clean layout! Now I demand an US-ANSI and a Dvorak one :evilgeek:

Nice, although I don't really like the gradient on the edges of the caps, but that's just me being a design nazi.

Great job, finally some proper ISO love.

Yes, you're right, the gradient was just a cheapskate way to get a highlight into the upper left corner. I'll take it out completely I guess.
