Just for public info:

K: It would be nice to note in the "votelink" (my HTML editor isdown, so
I uploaded just the gif) that these are NOT thumbnails of finished
images- they are crude sketches done with much poorer tools than I
intend for finished art. I'll be working on an actual "page",
especially if I can post parts of the finished work.

The FRONT will be (is currently being) hand drawn, and should be a good
bit nicer than as represented in my crude computer sketch. A copy of
the finished art would be shipped by mail to the printer, as I'm not
going to subject good art to the indignaties of scanning (besides, the
file would be quite large). I will try to have finished art ready
inside two weeks, if the "vote" can hold a bit, and definately post it
for as a "final aproval" before printing if that front design is chosen-
I know one person didn't like the "bullet holes", for example. Xerox
technology would let me add and delete things like that , and is going
to cut my work by ~50%, as the design is rotationally symetric.

The BACK, in either case, would be done in Adobe Illustrator. Once I
had the actual basic back layout done, putting in the names would
literally be a "cut and paste" job, as the computer should do all the
text formating for me (leaving me to play with fonts for several hours
and otherwise waste time for no noticable improvement- does anybody know
the standard fonts used in FASA products?). So this can be handled by
E-mail, in the space of a few hours, I'd guess. The final result can be
E-mailed as an Acrobat file, which should not be hard for whomever
handles printing to find an output for.
To do that basic layout early, it would be nice to know what text
should be included BESIDES the names / adresses. Subscription /
cancelation info (micro FAQ / help)? Info about FASA / Shadowrun?
In any case, I see the back being a one or two day job, tops.
