Dear Graham,
I apologize for not responding right away.
I will answer to all your questions regarding the final product.
First of all, EPS format exported from any vector programm (as a ai, or corel draw) in tiff, cmyk and 300dpi is compatible with photoshop and can be used for newspaper ads, coffee mugs, even bilboards if you like, not to mention web. So not to worry. If you wish I may export it finally in higher resolution just to be sure.
As for the #83 font being used is American typewriter, which was the response to your comment on American people being conservative. But I will find the suitable one. Font used IS slightly distorted, but it'll get in order : ).
I hope I did give you all the answers you required. And now I have to do some of the work.
