Guess what? This will be the last masthead of its kind. Why? Because tomorrow the site will have a new look and will feature an Even! Larger! Masthead! And wider columns so that I can post Even! Wider! Photos! Are you excited? Because I am! (Jason: Whatever. Looks good.)
This masthead was a blast to make, mostly because I kept yelling out loud: “GodZILLA!!!” I originally thought Godzilla’s skin could be made of pickles, but 1) realized this was beyond my capabilities and 2) his skin is already green and pebbly and pickle-looking. So I decided to have him carry a jar of pickles on his rampage through Clipart City instead. And the dime’s head was supposed to be on a crowd of people, but I couldn’t get it to look realistic, so I decided to have just one (with a totally realistic, shocked expression).
The font is called “Evil of Frankenstein” from Dafont. The background is one of the default patterns in Photoshop (stained glass, I believe).
Some of you have asked about my clip art library, and after much searching, I’ve narrowed down my resources to two places. I get the majority of my clip art from Microsoft’s free clip gallery (get them online, not from Word’s crappy default library). The rest I get from Clipart Connection. I pay $35 for a one-year subscription and can download as many images as I want from their fabulous selection.
Anyway, new look tomorrow – see you then!
