    Come and visit FREE Corel seminars at Sign UK 2006 from 9th-11th May at the NEC, Birmingham

    Corel will be hosting a series of step-by-step workshops aimed specifically at signmakers and digital printers at ‘Sign UK, Digital Expo, Outdoor Media and Screenprint 2006’. Anyone involved in producing logos, signage or promotional materials will learn how to save both time and money.
    The seminars will give attendees an introduction to the latest version of Corel’s flagship graphic suite, CorelDRAW X3. With demonstrations from product managers at Corel, these tutorials will give a step by step guide to how CorelDRAW X3 can be used to achieve great results in sign production, including tips and tricks on drawing free-hand images, converting these into high-quality vector designs and a step by step guide to repurposing old printed signs or logos into professional vector illustrations.

    These will be running everyday throughout the three day show, starting at 10.00am and running every hour until 4.00pm. For more details and to register free go to http://www.signuk.com/corel

    Please Note:

    Judging is done BLIND by moderators to decide on a shortlist, then UKSG members from the short list. Posting here, then emailing me the same as an entry… leaves you wide open to unfair judging. keep this in mind 😉

    replies here with funny captions etc is perfectly fine to do so… but i personally would keep my best for last 😀

    I was thinking the same Rob.

    Problem I see is that some of the ‘suggestions’ here are pretty close to some I have already sent in. I’d hate anyone to be compromised because someone else had/has a similar idea, and publishes it openly here…. 😕

    ide rather not lock the thread as the replies are fun to read as well as keeps the topic hot.

    there have been "many" entires so far… and like has been said some similar to posts by reply. all i can say is… "only" the entries by email to admin@uksignboards.com will be judged on.
    everyone and anyone that wants to reply "here" for fun can, but please understand, if you post something here and do not enter, only for someone else to use a similar type caption, and WIN. you cannot complain after the event…

    that said, if anyone uses my captions… 😮 ill keep the software all to myself, so there…. :baby:
