<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2503254, member: 19463"]You probably would get more participation and a better final result if you asked for submissions larger (up to full size of the coin) and did the crop and resize work all at one time by one person who could then match sizes and cropping more closely. I'd probably prefer a collage using full obverses allowing people to read the names from legends but that is a call for the artist doing the paste up work, not for kibitzers like me. You will also cut participation by limiting to 5 inputs since it takes time to do the special cropping you require and there are bound to be people who start working on one only to find they were too slow. I'd suggest asking for a number (5-10?) of different ones over a set period (2 days-week) rather than one at a time so submitters can work on more than one at a sitting and not miss out on those due at an inconvenient time. Again it is just kibitzing from someone with poor chances for participation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
