welcome to camp telophase

Creating an ad for the Worldcon program book. I'm going to be posting on a graphic design forum elsewhere for advice as well, which is why I've got the text below the cut, as I didn't want to write it all out twice.

Short version: working on ad for ConDFW to go in the Worldcon program book (full page this time!), and am soliciting feedback. I want it to stand out from the general run of con ads, but not to look too slick, like a Creation Con.

( cut for wall of text explaining what I'm doing to designers unfamiliar with SF cons. There's a link to a page with all 10 designs on it under there. )

PLEASE NOTE: The faint lines that make borders on some of the images are my guides for the bleed and the live area and will NOT appear in the final version.



LJ version of the poll.

Thunderstorm blew up out of nothing just now. In the past 20 minutes it's gone from 100°F to below 80, and from a hot, hot almost cloudless summer day to storming hard enough that I couldn't see the house across the street and came in to Toby's office to see if there was a tornado.

Nope, as it turns out. Just a summer storm.

I'm kind of glad I had another appointment with the doc for my wrist today, even though he's given me another three days of tedious, tedious physical therapy, because it meant that I was safe at home and not on the road between work and home at the height of the storm.

I was actually napping, after a sudden attack of the sleepy when I'd gotten home. Wonder if the storm had a hand in that? I mean, my being awake reading until midnight was most of the problem, but I hadn't been sleepy all day until then.
