Dear Debbie. . .

Contest Winner: Kristin MacBride is a Better Graphic Designer than I Am!

In a slightly belated fashion, I am pleased to announce the winner of the "I'm a Better Graphic Designer Than Debbie Grossman" contest. It is Kristin MacBride, of Texas! She won both because her design was the best of all the entries, and because she explained how to do it in a simple, easy-to-follow fashion.

Check out her instructions, after the jump.

Announcing the "I'm a Better Graphic Designer Than Debbie Contest."

Dear Readers,

A few posts ago, I wrote about how to get "better-looking text" using Layer Styles. But according to a lot of the comments, I actually made the text look worse!

In honor of the fact that I'm a much better Photoshopper than I am a graphic designer, I hereby announce the Dear Debbie Blog's first contest: The "I'm a Better Graphic Designer Than Debbie Contest."

To win, redesign the Electric Fiction image that I made in my original post. I'll supply the photo, you supply the text. Since the object of this blog is to teach Photoshop, accompany your entry with simple steps explaining how you made it look so good. The best entry gets lots of recognition on the blog and wins a lightning fast SanDisk Extreme FireWire Reader. 

More details, and the original image, after the jump.

All the best,
Debbie
