What resolution? Or is that important?

Also, should this be a "DesignContest Card" or just any old card?

I'd imagine it would have to be 300DPI, as cards are for print.

it would be fun if it was a DC related postcard. If it comes out really great we might actually print it.

here's my try:

jlinds72 · 01-21-2005, 09:29 AM

I was bored so thought i'd play around with Photoshop for a bit and throw an entry in myself

This is a picture of my brother & nephew (he'd kill me if he saw this.......lol). Not exactly themed for DC, but I thought it was a cute idea:

*Disclaimer: no child was tatooed in the making of this card design

belladonna · 01-23-2005, 03:20 PM

Jenn, I love it!, I think its really sweet!

**resurepus** · 01-24-2005, 09:30 AM

the tatoos look great, very natural, at first I thought they were real

jlinds72 · 01-24-2005, 09:45 AM

Thank you, Bella & Sergey! My husband showed it to a couple of people he works with, and someone actually was "appalled" that someone would tatoo their baby........lol. Oh, the fun of Photoshop

Edua · 01-24-2005, 10:30 AM

Dragonfly - There are several members that are under the age of 18, so no swearing, nudity, etc. Guess that as a general guideline, keep things "PG-13"

websmythe · 01-25-2005, 11:02 AM

Is there vector artwork available for the DC logo and wordmark? if not, what font was used for the wordmark?
-------
Oops! ...was lookin' at the top of the page. I see the font in the wordmark changes depending whether you're looking at the forums or at the homepage. Is there a font preference?

belladonna · 01-25-2005, 05:14 PM

Hi guys and girls

, here is a vector file of DC icon ... as long as the font, I don´t think there is a particullar one, just try to keep it within the same style as the actual one.

take care
Bella

belladonna · 01-25-2005, 05:18 PM

Dragonfly, about your question, Im working on something too, its kind of fun and sexy at the same time... just in case Im going to show it to the Admins first

belladonna · 01-26-2005, 03:56 PM
