Haha, well I can still invite people just if some randoms turn up its ok There maybe badges too, so I shall save some for the BD people so they can feel special. Its just an idea we're toying with.

Ooooh, badges 4tw! Will it make me look like a celeb?

Really looking forward to this now, are you going to have rules in places about people taking photos of photos? The new toy needs an outing, and no better place to start really

Looks good... I don't personally like the green, but that doesn't matter.

Have you tried having a skinnier border? With the font you have chosen it feels a bit too 'blocky' for me

Just my opinion please don't take offence! Glad its all shaping up nicely Pete

No rules. It was one of the nicest things to see some tourists from Brazil taking their photo in front of my work. Completely touristy but just sooooo nice. Photos are perfectly ok Plus you'll have all of the great spots in Albert Dock and Liverpool to photo.

No no its fine. I wasn't 100% set on the colour either but I've asked a few people and no-one even commented on it so I'm trusting the designers. If they say its good, and others think its ok then I'm ok with that. The more I look at it the more I like it. We're going to tweak the images a bit and sort them too. This is the first I've seen. I've left it completely up to them to design this. They even bought the font just for me I'm happy with the way they've designed it. I think a thinner border wouldn't work as well with the font. I'm expecting some people won't like it. Its all subjective. I just needed reassurance that it wasn't hideously ugly before it goes up around town

Pete, I was chatting to one of the teachers in work yesterday about this, and she actually goes out with Mark, one of the photographers who worked with you on eighthundred. Small world

hahahaha no way. I've not properly spoken to Mark about it yet because I wanted to wait for the website to be ready before telling everyone. But yeah, way small world.

My original prototype 5 minute flyer featured red. Personally I think black and white work fine, but I'm willing to take a risk and push the boat out a bit on this. I think its eye catching which is what I need. As long as people notice it and turn up it'll be fine.

I'm not a fan of the colour and on the first one the text seems to detract too much from the photo. The other two the text size/font seems to compliment the photos but not that one for some reason (well to me anyway)
