gosh, I should’ve seen this contest sooner. I have something that might’ve worked nicely.

I was wondering about the words – I see they’re a template so that probly answers my question.
I would want to rearrange the words a bit on a few, silly me….. but we wouldn’t have had that control b/c it was added after – correct?

(I’m a lurking newbie over on flickr, starting to learn more about lighting.
this was a great idea for a contest, and love the variety that entered.
interesting, about thinking differently, planning for specifics.

Yes… close enough that you should shoot with it in mind. However, it is only a layout, so if the shot is a little off, the headline can be adjusted. Would never sacrifice the shot in order to keep 90 pt type if the shot was cool enough that 72 may work fine…

Thanks!

Hi.
Nope… just the image. We will adjust the text to reflect the intention of the image.

This looks like fun! Just one question (maybe a dumb one, but I couldn’t find the answer)…should our submission include the “text” as well or are you just looking for the image? In other words, are we to write a “story” as well?

Hi Don, I’ve been following your website for a couple years now and would like say how much it’s changed and keeps getting better all the time. Now that you’re throwing in the contest, I can really put to use the knowledge you’ve dropped. Lets see more!
