Michael,
It has been years since i used illustrator so i am new too. In the end i just let things overhang outside the outline. For the submission one i copied and pasted a shrunken version of the illustrator design into paint. i opened another paint program and opened the file for the template. I painted all around the template a random color (making the board a window basically) and then in turn copied and pasted that on top of the design i had pasted earlier in the other paint page. then i repainted the random colors around the outside of the board back to white and thus deleted all of the design that went outside the boarders. ;)
hopefully that makes sense
Ben, Thanx
The bottom design is a modified oracle bone with ancient Chinese oracle script. The emblems spelling out "HUMANOID" are also genuine ancient characters that i chose because of their resemblance to the english letters (Cauldron, Basket, Rain, Fish, Knife, Sun, Person, Moon). Then for the top i chose a more unlikely candidate for an "oracle" or future-telling-tool the 8 ball with a dice spilled out of it showing the Humanoid logo. There is actually a lot of symbolism in that design in relation to the name of the board that could be summed up to "the oracle/future is Humanoid". I am pretty sure it is the only design that has to do with the name of the board... not that it is required, i just wanted too, and my knowledge and love for Chinese led the way.
My design of random robots being demolished against a brick wall by a catapult is doing better in the votes though ;)... But at the same time i don't understand why some of the designs are voted as low as they are. There are some really good ones that barely have 3 stars or less. I really like the one with the face on it and the colors radiating out of it (3rd to the last)
