We will consider stick figures too! In terms of a Photoshop, there's got be a plenty of free sites/apps that can do the same thing: http://www.lifeclever.com/10-free-web-based-alternatives-to-photoshop/
Oh- and for the non-designers, if need be, you can just sketch an idea and we'll make it production ready if needed
What pictures must be in the card? Does Fairway logo must be there? Or the Squirrel? Is there particular color must be there? If Yes can you upload the transparent image of Fairway and Squirrel (PNG or PSD file)? Thanks
We have no specific requirement on what has to be included, just that the design you submit must be 100% your original work.
Count me as interested! Will attempt to put my photoshop skills to use. Let's see how this turns out.... Are we allowed to submit multiple entries or just one?
