So, here’s another last-minute masthead I did, after weeks of laboring over another masthead that ended up looking like a two-fingered, cross-eyed zebra designed it. And do you know where I got the creative inspiration for this?
Buffalo Wild Wings. Yeah, some people’s muse is music or art or poetry. Mine is spicy garlic wings and a UFC fight in the background.
While we were there, I thought of no less than five masthead ideas. If I had a laptop, I would set up shop in one of their restaurants and produce the next great literary novel.
But since I don’t, the world will have to be content with my clip art masterpieces (using the word “masterpieces” very loosely, of course).
Happy 2009!
Not much to say about this one. I used my same resources for the font and clip art as before, and it came together quick and easy. Happy holidays, everyone! May Santa Dime and the Reindeer Pickle bring you everything you asked for!
Remember how I used to talk about having months of mastheads all stocked up ready to go? HAAAAAAA. That is no longer the case. In fact, I was working on one all last month, and then decided on October 29th that I didn’t like it. So! I had two days to put this together. And apparently, I was hungry for McDonald’s at the time. And watching blindingly bright Japanese flash ads.
So…blah blah blah interesting only to me stuff…I made the background myself, got the free images from here, used the free font “McLawsuit” from here and created some nice pickle fries and a dime burger. Mmmmmm.
Well, now I want a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Great.
It was only a matter of time, people. I’ve been wanting to do a dog tag masthead forever, well before we even had a dog. I created the background pattern myself, and got the dog collar, dog tag and felt paw pads from Calico Designs, a GREAT resource for digital scrapbooking that has plenty of freebies.
FYI, that expression on Shorty’s face is pretty much his default. We make a lot of “HUHHHH?” and “WHAAAA?” comments at his expense.
