So, I guess since MISSON WAS ACCOMPLISHED with the ABC Slogan challenge, I can finally direct my attention to giving this 365 day thing a whirl. After all, I have the shiny little red icon plastered in my About Me section. Officially, I signed up for this challenge on March 17, 2009, so now I'll have to backtrack up to the current. Some of these were created to meet other challenges like the ABC slogan challenge and various OSC contests. Here Goes Nothing!

I feel like I'm competing against the Law of Natural Selection when it comes to which slogans survive the textile jungle. I've seen some great slogans generated here and wonder what criteria (besides high rankings) is used to determine which slogans get picked. I've been churning them out like butter because I love being creative and hope someday to see one of mine on a tee.

As they say, one man's trash is another man's treasure. In other words, what some may not like in a slogan, hopefully, most will appreciate.

Happy creating to all the sloganmisters out there!

Do you prefer a specific computer program or sketching technique over another? I know some like use dip pen and nib. Some might use photoshop.

I'm one of the new kids on the block and I've that some members are slogan club members. What is the criteria for becoming a member?

thanx!

First blog entry here...Frankly, I got tired of seeing that "Awww Shucks..." message on my Home page. I've bought some really cool tees here and have begun my slow descent into trying to create the "bestest" slogans ever. I'll have to ease my way into the designs...baby steps--remember, baby steps.

Keep it light,
