Re: What faces do I need to master?

Shandi, I have not had any problems with it. I am using Printmaster Platinum 12 which is an awfully old version. (Before that I had Printmaster Gold LOL!) Maybe it's the OS - I know that PM Platinum 12 is made for the Windows 2000/XP but I am using it on Vista with no troubles.

That Ariel is actually kinda cool in an offbeat way. You put your own spin on it, nothing wrong with that.

I did it totally for free, solely so I could practice. I explained to everyone who sat down that I was learning. I made up a list of faces that I felt I could do (even though some of them I had never done). These were the ones that I thought would be most popular, and I had printed out samples of each that I could refer to if necessary (I kept that binder hidden away, didn't want anyone thinking it was my own work). I am proud to say that I never once looked in the binder!

Here is the list that I used:

Hazel,
May I "borrow" this? I have an event where the clients want me to limit the designs. This would be perfect for it.

Oh of course, feel free to use it! Very Happy

I actually redid it last weekend, I made all the fonts bigger so it was easier to read and added kitty cat. This took it to two pages, but I think they look better. The new ones are in my gallery but they are not fullsized. If you want the fullsized jpg, I could PM them to you.

Or if anyone wants the names of the fonts I used, so you can make a similar one, just let me know.

I really liked this way of doing it, the kids had no preconceptions and I didn't feel concerned that the end result didn't look the same as in a picture.

I will hop on the topic. I love the poster idea. I have done several elementary school events where there could be 50 kids in line. I normally have books for the kids to look at. They get bogged down deciding if they want the blue butterfly or the pink and purple one, or the white dog with brown spots or should they get black spots. With time being so critical, using a sign like this instead would definitely speed things up.

I am definitely going to make up a sign like this. What a great idea. Thanks Hazel. There are plenty of sites out on the web with free fonts. I have downloaded some cool free fonts from this site.
