So spread the word those of you who know other MBers.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to participate: <\/p>\n<p>1.  Create your signature, using whatever medium you prefer, traditional or digital.<br \/>\n2.  Scan the results, if necessary (preferably at 200 or 300 dpi)  A digital photo might work, also, if you have a steady hand.<br \/>\n3.  Send by email to gapa @ musefanpage.com (except without the spaces)<br \/>\n<em><strong>OR<\/strong><\/em>  if you have no way of scanning your signature, you may send it by U.S. mail to: Rebecca Lasley c\/o P. O. Box 3, Jamestown NC 27282.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who email us <strong>PLEASE USE DESCRIPTIVE TEXT IN YOUR SUBJECT LINE AND FILE NAMES<\/strong>, e.g., &#8220;Lady Bunniful-signature.&#8221;  Avoid generic phrases like &#8220;my signature&#8221; or &#8220;untitled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS<\/strong>:  You may send in a new design or request to reuse your old one.  But we will not assume you want to be included unless you tell us you do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><font color=#04707f>SIGNATURE GUIDELINES<\/font><\/h3>\n<p><strong>LINE WIDTH<\/strong>: Strong, bold lines will print best. Do NOT use pencil, fine-line pens, or their digital equivalent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SIGNATURE SIZE<\/strong>: Make it big.  Probably bigger than you think you need to. There are so many variables, it&#8217;s hard to be specific, but if the file size is smaller than 80k, there&#8217;s a good chance your drawing is too small. It&#8217;s much easier for us to reduce an oversized graphic than it is to enlarge one that is too small.  <\/p>\n<p>If you can, print a test copy to see how it looks.  Most signatures should print out to <em>at least <\/em>a couple of inches wide and no less than half an inch in height.  <strong>Do not judge size by what you see onscreen. <\/strong> Onscreen size does not coincide with reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FILE FORMAT<\/strong>: Most any graphic programs will support the following formats: JPG, BMP, PNG, or GIF. (Look under &#8220;save&#8221; or &#8220;export&#8221; in the file menu. If you&#8217;re thinking of sending anything else, please ask beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>In general, keep your designs bold and simple.  Subtle detail will get lost in the printing. Please <strong>DO NOT add tag phrases<\/strong> any longer than two or three words. If you do, we will delete them. They look too smudgy when printed at small sizes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><font color=#04707f>SIGNATURE LIST<\/font><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Received:<\/strong><br \/>\nAgrrrfishi<br \/>\nAlice<br \/>\nArmada<br \/>\nAvalonGirl<br \/>\nbluefire27<br \/>\nbookgirl_me<br \/>\nCat&#8217;s Eye<br \/>\nCTN<br \/>\nDaisy*chain<br \/>\nDucky<br \/>\nEnceladus<br \/>\nErrata<br \/>\ngimanator<br \/>\nGoldendoodle<br \/>\ngradster1<br \/>\nJJjetplane girl w\/cats<br \/>\nJW<br \/>\nKoppar<br \/>\nLoreena Chatheng<br \/>\nmas0n<br \/>\nmuselover<br \/>\npeary moppins<br \/>\nRainbow*star<br \/>\nshadowfire<br \/>\nSilver Lining<br \/>\nsoccer starr<br \/>\nspeller73<br \/>\nSudoRandom<br \/>\nThanks For All the Fish42<br \/>\nZinc the sorceress<\/p>\n<p><strong>Repeat from last time:<\/strong><br \/>\nAdeia<br \/>\nBeavo<br \/>\nCat&#8217;s Meow<br \/>\nJadestone<br \/>\nKagcomix<br \/>\nkiwimuncher<br \/>\nLogogeo96<br \/>\nLuna the Lovely<br \/>\nMarfwarrior<br \/>\nMidnight Fiddler<br \/>\nPiggy<br \/>\nPurple Panda<br \/>\nRed-tailed HAWK<br \/>\nRoseQuartz<br \/>\nTesseract<br \/>\nTN\u00c3\u2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In response to several recent requests, your ever-obliging GAPAs have decided to create a 2009 edition of the MB Signature design.
