Design Challenge #1: 8/17 - 9/7 (EXTENDED)

Signature Ad

For our inaugural Design Challenge...

Come up with a unique, visually interesting advertisement to go into CGR users' signatures for the new Graphic Design forum.

The ad must be 430x130 pixels at largest; the rule for all signature images. Also feel free to make any size smaller than this.

The ad must be a single image, and not animated in any way.

You may use shapes, text, images, a slogan, whatever you really want. Have fun with it!

I've downloaded most of those fonts, and copied them to where windows stores fonts. It should show up in apps without any extra work, correct?

Usually you have to unzip them, not necessarily where the fonts are kept. You just have to know where they live. Then you go where the fonts live (under the control panel) and install them.

For mac? I don't know.

I'll probably change it, but here's my first effort. (Actually, it's my second. The first one was BAD.)

I like kuler, but I've found that I can't use any of the themes. I even created one I really like. That's what I get for using Open Source software.. heh.

You should be able to plug in the RGB values into whatever you're using.

I've always been a fan of Toucan over kuler. Just thought I would throw that out there.
I find browsing deviantART and such sites helps fuel my creativity.
