[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 3014420, member: 87737"]Thanks for all the feedback. Typo's have been corrected (thanks [USER=90102]@TheFinn[/USER] & [USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER] ). Running a pretty close race so far. Style #1 is consistent with others that I have done. Style #2 I thought was really cool looking. That's why I put the 2 styles up, as it doesn't really 'fit' the others, but I like the look and feel of it. [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] , the Grizzly bear is California's official state animal, and that's why it's there, although I think the bear should have been on the reverse. The bear is also used on the California Jubilee commemorative. Californians love their bear I guess! A couple of you have suggested using an actual photo of the bridge. I have used some paintings in some of the others, but actual photos would not be conducive to the entire set I'm working on. Many of the commems are about cities and/or states, and for those, line drawings are better, and much easier to work with. So I'm trying to use a minimum of non-line art pieces. My target audience is the YN crowd. Commemoratives (old and modern) have, IMO, much more to hold an attention span then 109 years of looking at the same portrait, with an occasional new reverse image. :rolleyes: I do have plans to do the full set in these 'pamphlets', and if my plan works out, they'll be double-sided tri-folds. Here's a couple more so you can see the 'feel' of the set: [ATTACH=full]748161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]748162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]748163[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
