I also changed it to the banner, so why I'm posting it here I have no idea.
It's not my favorite design but it prints clean, and has all the information I needed to get on there, although I may go back and change the blue on the dinosaurs to black or a more readable color, because the printouts come out darker, which is a problem with home printing (also good to know if you plan on doing a home proof-we'll get into what a proof is later when we've got the artwork done. For those of you that know what a proof is, I like to proof ever step of the way, even with pencils, as I've found it can show problems when the art is reduced, and if you can catch errors or composition problems at the pencil stage you can go a long way to making a good looking product.
Here's a quick view of how the page of bookmarks looks if I decide to go with a bumped up size which I'm playing with. The 1.5" X 6" may be a bit to small. These are almost 2"X7".
Normally I'd recommend printing these up with Printer's Marks. Printer's Marks look like little cross hairs and are designed so you can make sure printing's match up for double sided prints, where to cut, etc. They become important. Why they aren't above. . .quite frankly I forgot and ran out of time. So I'm going to not do double sided prints like I planned, and put out one sided bookmarks (unless it looks like I'll get more time between Today and Saturday when I go to Con to hand these puppies out.
Still waiting to here back from the printers, so I can get an ideas on cost and then start planning funding.
Talk your zombie-lovin' ears of later.

I like how they came out -- strong and bright and bold in a toxic waste sort of way... which has nothing to do with zombies or dinosaurs, perhaps, but creates the right associations. I love the new drawing for it, and the more I read the words "tiny brains" the more I love them.
