About my design

by Ian Leino   
Whether it's by the light of a campfire, or the light of a projector bulb, people have always been fascinated with telling each other stories. Before the Europeans arrived, the Lenape people lived for thousands of years on the land that would become Manhattan. Perhaps it is their rich storytelling tradition that still affects the area today.



Special thanks to Mr. Rocks for all of his help with this, as well as everyone else who offered suggestions and ideas. To see detailed images, please check out the blog .

really really nice. Not 100% on the placement, but love the colours and the detail.

Thanks Ian, it was a pleasure to help you out, and the design is great. I'm glad you took your time on it man. $5!



Sinwon: In defence of my friend, he's been working on this for ages, a very long time before a similar sub went up. Although similar idea, this is different in alot of ways, and executed with a completely different style.



Well done again Ian. A possible winner for sure!!

I like this illustration a lot. It reminds me of the intro to the old 80's tv series, "Amazing Stories," which is a good thing.



I agree with others, the placement bugs me and it needs to be bigger.

Love this so much. I prefer this over the other design by leaps and bounds. I do, however, wish the placement was different.
Ian Leino
   Ian Leino on Jan 16 '07
Thanks for the comments so far. I was trying to decide between several different placements for this, and it looks like I've chosen the wrong one. If this gets picked up, I'd certainly be open to changing the placement.

I think the placement would be better in it were closer to the bottom. Definitly. That's probably the only way I'd buy it. But man, the design rocks!
dragoness
dragoness on Jan 16 '07
its pretty interesting. I agree that the placement would probably be better lower and possibly larger. great design

Placement at the center would be nice.

mamarama on Jan 17 '07
Center placement, please. LOVE the lights and shadows and I love the story in the smoke.

Cool. I don't like the placement, though. maybe you could have the fire on the bottom and the smoke rising into the center.
the czar
the czar on Jan 18 '07
Very nice, the smoke is very cool, not too obvious. Think it should be centered, though.
