#308 -- Hmmmm -- very nice! I like the idea behind it. Is there anything you can do to tweak or further develop it? This will rank high, but not sure that it gets the #1 spot. . .
Laptop battery is just about dead, so I'm afraid I'll have to call it a night. If you'd like to see more revisions to my design, I'll be more than happy to work with you during the judging phase. Thanks again for the invitation.
The #1 ranked designer is the only one able to upload new designs during the judging phase. Usual procedure followed by contest holders is to shuffle rankings if they want to see revisions from designers not in first.
I'll try to make your requested adjustment tomorrow. There already is a very subtle gradient in there, but I can make it more pronounced. I'll post a message here when they are ready and, if you want, you can temporarily adjust the rankings.
