Hi Ginger, Don't underestimate the contest thing. Also, it's an all-over-the-world contest.
I don't mind if we choose to go another way. I am only suggesting this. I want to imagine image freaks and type freaks trying to get the most out of Blender-Krita-Inskcape-Hugin and from the other door some trying to figure out the most out of Scribus, Inkscape or else... Vectors... Images... Pixels... I only offer to print at large size !
