Hi Matt,

Just tinkering, not sure if you want any personal contact information but if so, that would be easily added. The black border line is the edge of the car and would not be seen, but I thought maybe adding a maroon border around the outside edge.

Hi Samuel,

Thanks... Not sure what Matt had in mind for a poster, came up with this... it's a start.

Wow Paul, they both look great!

I will also be promoting the hswdpi.ca as well. Suggestions? A reversible card perhaps?

OK, Is there some kind of herald for the HSW? Maybe the two can be combined on the same poster or maybe not.. or maybe I should just go to the website and see what I can see! I was on the Staples/Halifax website yesterday and see they have a $30 off coupon you can print out. 250 Business cards are $29.95 but I'd think that printing both sides would just double the price... but that would still only be $30 for 250 cards. They only said posters start at $15 but didn't say what size that would be.

Those are awesome. Thanks for the art Paul and thanks for all the effort Matt. If you wanted an alternative title you could always put "Charter Member" too!

From the email you sent Matt, we still have to get those car packs. Did you manager to figure out which car packs were needed and get them downloaded?

If you want to go with these Matt let me know. I was sniffing around the Staples site today and see they want the art work at least 180 dpi for it to be clear so I saved them at 300 dpi. If you want them I can e-mail them directly to you. If you want any changes let me know.

The cards look great. I just got a call confirming that the Federation wants me to do the talk for the banquet. It'll be on the DAR and I will work in a good plug for the DAR-DPI. I'll be looking to use images from various collections on our site - I'll be in touch for permissions.

Is someone going to be there with Matt? I could have their name on one side and Matt's name on the other... Dan.. did you want a DAR card made up?

Funds are tight right now, so I think I'll just put up my DAR plastic sign. It is black with white lettering. Thanks anyway, Paul.
