well, i have what is quite possibly the strangest battle proposition ever for you all…
a little backround info…
in the United states (where i currently reside) it is custom for students graduating from high school to send out graduation ‘announcements’ to friends, family, relatives, etc…
tyhese announcements basically say ‘look at me! i’m graduating from high school’. Sounds pretty dumb right? Well… it is pretty dumb, which is why i didnt order any (normally people order them)… i mean, everyone graduates high school at one time or another right? who cares if it’s my turn?
…however… it has recently been brought to my attention that the recipients of said announcements often send monetary gifts to the senders of these announcements… wow… i’m starting to like this announcement idea…
it’s too late to order any of these things (awww crap) so i decided i was going to make my own… i have some nice card stock and a pretty decent prointer so i figure it wont be too difficult to get something that is fairly professional looking together. Basically, these announcements have some kind of pretty logo on the front and then some kind of corney paragrph inside saying when the student in question will be graduating…
hmm… so, you are probably wondering what (if anything) this has to do with the battle forum. well… i am currently under the impression that those of you who frequent this forum are quite talented at all things multimedia. Because of this, i figured it wouldnt hurt to see if you all would like to try your hand at making a logo for my announcements before i make a go at it… you all benefit because it’s a new and unique battle and i benefit because i’ll probably get something more professional than what i could ever make by my own bad self…
here are the rules:
My school colors are blue and white… these should be predominant in the logo… (white, gold and black may also be used)
My school name is ‘Chandler High’
the graduating year is 2003
there is a large degree of freedom… be creative… judgments will be made based upon the most aestetically pleasing entry as well as the most professional looking one… if you’re having trouble picturing the kind of thing i’m going for, here is an example below:
I need to get these things made fairly soon, so i’ll set the deadline on saturday, may 10…
i know the idea is dumb but please help me out here 
ciao*
