I so didn't win...
I entered Vox's banner contest and for a fleeting second, I thought I had a shot. As more of the entries poured in, I realized I didn't. I'm not bitter because from what I see, I ran with some big dogs. I also used The Gimp, which is as much as I'll ever need, but it's still no match for a decent retail design program... A tablet would help too. So would some talent :)
Since I do enjoy futzing with Gimp, I'll be uploading and sharing more banners as I make them.
