Design Game
This is a little game for the artsy among our blogging community that have a few minutes to spare (some of the examples didn't take more than fifteen minutes to put together).
Object:
Design a really sweet desktop that is so awesome that everyone will email you wanting to have it on their mac or pc.
Rules:
1) You must use your own photography (keeping it as untouched as possible)
2) You must place a 1-2 syllable word that describes the photo in the lower left corner. The word must be white only. The typeface that you set the word in must help communicate the definition of the word (this is a chance to show off your cool typefaces). Finally, you must manipulate the type creatively (you can't just type in the word and call it finished).
3) You must use the template: Download file
Here are some examples:
"BLEND"
"FANCY"
"LUSH"
"SOLO"
Yeah...more amber pictures.

Thanks

can non-adobe-pro's play?
i met amber, by the way.
SHE came to rockford,
unlike SOME people. ;)
she sure is swell.
Joy, yes, please do jump in! I've received a bunch of cool ones recently. If you've got the photography (and I know you do...) and the creativity (yeah, you're well stocked there too) you're more than welcome.
Yeah, she's awesome! I wish that I could have been a groupie for that tour, but work and other responsibilities constrained me.
