A few months ago Matt Terl over at the Redskins Blog (http://blog.redskins.com/) wrote a post (http://blog.redskins.com/2010/01/08/friday-january-7-two-pictorial-reactions-to-the-shanahan-hirin/) that featured an image I had done in response to the hiring of Mike Shanahan (Pictured above). So here I am checking my twitter when I see my design was used as the cover of the Washington Redskins 2010 Media Guide. Needless to say I am absolutely flattered and Completely STOKED. So to everyone involved thanks a ton it really made my day!So here is the final product:

Did they contact you for your real name? At least to get credit within the guide? Or did they just put "created by rd421"

You got your work recognized by the Skins, so I would have to say your candle is pretty high up there. Great work and congrats on the cover.


Oh yeah, can you put a good word in for me and SOUP, you know, since you are now "in" with the team and all. ;)

Great work. :)

Funny stuff man.

I liked the idea of having color with the text. Maybe I could play around with some different ideas for the text. I like the font you used though. I think the black and white is just to plain. I'm sure you think I'm being picky but I do like the idea of the header, especially the field faded into the background. Do you think you could send me the file to play with? And what font is that? I like what you have going on but would like to play around with some ideas I have. If you don't mind that is.
