Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, doesn't it? ;) It's cool to witness your development as a designer right here at crowdSPRING, and the incredible courtesy and level of professionalism you're displaying - not only in your interactions with clients but it seems with just about anyone who comes your way - is surely a great inspiration to others. (Thanks for the nod as well - I'm glad if I've been able to help in some small way.) Best, Fred My compliments on the interview, Tammy.

Glad you're still visiting us here, and we'll all look forward to your new project! I still have all the original files for the artwork you were interested in ;) Storage isn't a problem so they'll sit nice and tidy right where thay are as long as you need.

We still need to discuss the checkmark work you did that I still want to use as smarterdrinker.com is starting to finish its design process! I think the art is still saved on this server somewhere. Your stories of North Carolina and your granddaughter remind me of my brother who lives in North Carolina near ECU with my niece. My mom loves going down there to see her and my father also drives an 18-wheeler... go figure. Good luck in the future and I'm glad you're able to work from home these days. Three cheers for crowdspring! 29design, I thought I remembered your screen name from somewhere. Thanks for the smarterfootball.com logo. We haven't had the time to start the project yet, but after looking at the logo just now, it has motivated me to pursue it soon! CrowdSpring team, Keep it up! Your website is awesome and I can see that it is growing. I haven't been back lately, but will be soon because I am adding a new SBU to my company - razorwolf apparel, not sure what kinds of awesome designs I will get, but look for the project within the next two months! Best of luck to everyone in the Winter as the current economic climate seems to be affecting many. Best Regards, Robert M. Cavezza Tammy,

Thanks so much for the mention, I am quite flattered, I've seen your work and I can tell you that you are constantly improving with every contest. My advise to you and all others using photoshop, take the time to learn illustrator because it is designed just for creating logos and vector graphics, it is very powerful and many great designs can be achieved on it (That's all I used, I was a PS junky too at first!) Anyway, good luck in the future and have a great time! Roman Hi Tammy,

I love the airbrush. :) Unfortunately I don't get to use it for logos much, since I'm not really sure how that could be vectorized. @ Remco Thank you! I'm not big on the Illustrator either ;) I'll get there one day I'm sure, but like you, I always vectorize my logos, and provide an SVG file using vectormagic.com.
