I'm really not too concerned with that aspect of the campaign. That's a risk the admins decided to take when they created the site. We aren't a site that promotes the free exchange of how to acquire drugs. We are here to provide information, share knowledge and experiences, not telling people how to score. That should be evident in anything we create for public display.

let's all stay inside the house so we don't get hit by a car. It seems like that kind of logic to me. You have to take some risks. The larger our scope of distribution the better. More suggestions?

I understand the risks. I'm not that paranoid about it. I would think it would be difficult to associate a person posting here as being the exact person that handed you the ad/flyer. Maybe that was my girlfriend that handed you the flyer, or a friend that doesn't have an account, or a bum that I hired? There are lots of ways to protect your online identity. We just have to be intelligent about the operation. But im curious to see what everyone else says about this.

Don't forget the 'rate my pipe' section. That could be a big drawing point. We had discussed previously that if we are going to include a picture of some bud with it then it should def. be from someone here. Harry's is great and so are geo's.

Well, maybe we should outline some of the things we def. MUST have on the card. I think the logo is the obvious first thing to be on there.

i didn't put anything. I just took that right off the front page of the site. That smiley face should probably be lost imo.

easy does it. The submissions we've had don't appear to be a finished professional product. (don't take offense to that guys.) Surely someone here has some photoshop skills. I got photoshop creative suite 4 last night so now i can fuck with this shit for real. It's been a few years since ive used it but i'll give it a shot with this picture to start...
Anyone have a good picture from a grower on this site that has a lot of purple and other colors in it?

I got a photoshop book and have been reading it for the past couple hours. Gonna try to become proficient with it over the next week. I think i've got some cool ideas on the layering and text though.

Can you change the www.growery.org to a white text rather than that yellow? Give me a few days to get a few different ones done.

I was also reading through this ebook and it was discussing what color schemes to use. It mentioned that the CMYK configuration is preferred for printing mediums as opposed to the RGB which is preferred for computer display. I also downloaded a how to book for guerilla marketing and a few others that might be relavent for this endevour. I think it would be to our advantage to take it slow and revise things over and over. Presentation is everything. It's our first and only impression. it must be done right.

It looks better but my main complaint is the text. It looks too blocky/generic. I was thinking about developing some letters using cannabis leaves. take out that background and add some layers with different colors of pot leafs (colors that match the bud). I think its also important that all the colors match and don't appear out of place. Just imagine your finished product as an advertisement in a magazine like high times or Time magazine or something a lot of people will see. Would you be proud of your work? That's ultimately my mindset on this whole thing. thoughts?

Here's an example of what I think we should be looking for with regards to the professional presentation.
Imagine a nice bud where the ladies head is with pot leaves instead of all those other stupid designs. Something like that would be really neat. Just reading through this photoshop book im getting a lot of ideas. I can't focus on this tonight due to preparation for tomorrows activities.

I didnt think it was going in a magazine.....I thought it was going to be notecards....
That's beside the point at this stage. Yours is progressing nicely!

Like I said before I still think the lettering is too generic. I am going to take a picture of one of the best pot leafs i have in my garden and photoshop the blades into letters. I can't wait to put more time into this instead of just talking about it. I just don't have the knowledge yet.

I just got the Creative Suite 4 package (im told it's the newest one). I'm planning on making this a serious time commitment. Plus it's just good to have those kind of skills and this is a GREAT project for us ALL to develop those skills.
