[Li'l Sketchy]

Well, it's May 1st. Don't tell me I'm the only one... ???

[maggie]

So far... yes. Although our tardiness in starting this is most likely to blame.
That said... that's a great poster!

[Edward J Grug III]

Haha, woops!

Um... Maybe this evening...

[Troy Kealley]

Come on slackers!!

OK you got till the end of the week to beat Caanan's very cool poster - get to work people!!

[practicecactus]

Does anyone have the previous year's posters? It'd be nice to see them all together somewhere ..and also to help inspire different posters.
I got an idea for one but I'll be voting Canaan's even if I finish it in time.

[practicecactus]

Ok here's the idea I had, and I Todd Goldman-ed a little on Caanan's But I'm no good at these graphic design things, so I'd still be voting for his, cause it's much cooler.



[Edit: Slight change with Text. Now there's only three fonts all up on the page..excluding the 'comiKaze' logo.]

[Li'l Sketchy]

Dude, that's nothing like mine! Your's is WAY more energetic...! (and better captures the whole 'kamikaze' thing...)

One tip with the whole 'design thing' though... as far as fonts go, pick one (or two if you must) and stick with it. Unless, of course, envelope-pushing is your thing. It's not a RULE. Just a guideline.

[Troy Kealley]

now we didn't prohibit a joint entry... nor do want to suggest as an impartial judge that a amalgamation of both these posters could be a sure-fire winner... just thinking out loud here

BTW I might also hint that there may be around $100 worth of rare graphic novels up for grabs...

[maggie]

In case anyone wants it, a higher resolution version of the Comikaze logo.

[maggie]

oh, PS - there's no www. necessary, just comikaze24.com
It's shorter and easier to pass on. If someone types in www.comikaze24.com it will work, but the www. bit is superfluous.

..there may be around $100 worth of rare graphic novels up for grabs...

Oh well in that case...He didn't put in the clock gif or the 'comikaze24.com' url..Nerr Nerr!!

jk

[Li'l Sketchy]

Actually, I wanted to clarify on whether we're still using the clock logo since the name's changed 'n' all...

[rumpusroomie]

Well this is my concept but I really wanted to do it in a Dave Johnson style that my hand couldn't achieve. I always overcomplicate rather than going for the sharp elegant lines I really want.

anyways tada.
