I try to write relevant responses, but I have to be careful I'm not boring our readers to tears, either.<br /><br />Funny comment about the Goonies! I don't remember that poster, but in the 80's posters (good as they were) sort of threw everything —including the kitchen sink —at you.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885271094483228148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734322865929987142.post-17244962402914043242012-01-27T12:28:25.982-05:002012-01-27T12:28:25.982-05:00Very thoughtful comments Chuck, I know you deleted...Very thoughtful comments Chuck, I know you deleted the type critique, but that is helpful too. The type will change with the final. I will put a lot more thought into it when I choose the design I will go with. Plus, a lot changes with color. I have had a lot of fun with the sketches.<br /><br />6 does have a Goonies feel doesn't it?
