    I don't know why, but my favorite part is the border. It's so cool! I've been trying to do them like that lately.

    I agree. The border is A+ primo. :)

    Thanks, guys!

    I dunno, I rather liked the beveled edge of your submitted one, BuzzKill. It gave it more of the placard feel you seemed to be going for. Perhaps a slimmer one instead of completely removing it?

    I originally had it thinner but for some reason I ended up making it more prominent. Thinner is better.

    (I also added some posts holding the glass to the wood. :wink:)

    Thank you. I trust you also corrected my misspelling of the word: rivets :wink:

  2. Noticing errors/defects...

    Much like CMD, soon after submitting my entry, I noticed some things I didn't like. The beveled edge and drop shadow, particularly. After going back and correcting the issues I didn't like, I came away with this:

    Not only is it sleeker, it allows more of the detail in the wood to be seen :)

    Looking back, I wonder if "Jerpimp", as apposed to "Pimpbert", would have been a better play on names...

    I'm excited about the turnout in this contest. Even janettsue got in on the action - woot! :) Then there's the rise in everybody's artistic/skill level :shock: What's not to get excited about that :D

    Good luck to all the entrants!

  3. While not 100% pdn, I did edit it in pdn. And remember, I'm still new, and trying to learn the ropes.

    Here it is:

    I like it! One thing you may want to improve on are the edges of the overlay.

    Here's a quick example:

    I copied the overlay (flag) onto a new layer, added a blurred black ellipse under the overlay, applied a radial transparent gradient to the overlay, switched the overlay to "difference", and duplicated it.
