Hi David, yep, i'll bear that all in mind as, I understand what you are saying. Basically, in general terms, I need to be as accomodating as I can realistically be. I think, what I'm given, in terms of doing the work, is a fraction below adiquate but, it's workable and could be worse. Doing one poster is one thing, but another poster? well, I'll be ferm if I'm offer to do a third!? lol. sorry, but I'm not there to do computer graphics art class. Mind you, the leaflet I'm charged with isn't an easy one. Never done one in my life! I don't think even powerpoint can help me there. <smile>. well, we'll see what today offers.
