@notbeinguseful  
No offense taken. But we have to be careful of our posts even if the intention was not there. People can take something wrong and run with it.

thanks I am away from my email at the moment but I will upload it. There are many people who have yet to send me anything. I feel bad if some of the people do not send in their entries because I turned many people away. So if you dont submit you took the place for no reason and may folks wanted in.

So if anyone was determined enough to work on thiers anyway. I will fill the spots of those who do not submit with yours. Email me if interested. 1st available spot goes to Mbleigh. He was pretty determined to get in.

Had me second guessing whether August was the 8th or 9th month for a moment. I know the memory is the first thing to go 'n all, but… 😉

Good thing I’m not crazy - I’m having way too much fun with this to hurry through.

Nope, it says August 09/04 … And August is the 8th month, so one can only assume that 09 stands for the day, and 04 stands for the year.

grinch which one is you? People are not putting their screen names in the email. Remember I have a life too. So it may take a lil bit before I update. But I will update now. If you sent me an email without your screen name I cannot post your entry.

And please pay attention to the size requirements and do not send me source documents. And last but not least optimize your graphics.

Indeed – a nice bout!

All in all, I created around 11 custom brushes for the design, based on Kanji strokes. Then I created the letters by hand, very loosely based on Gotham (seen in the tagline), and went in even closer to get the ‘brushed’ details.
