Commentary

This week's Challenge was to produce a graphic honoring the Challenge itself and its host and organizer, Grant Dixon. The bowing man started as a Photo Object -- I turned it into a silhouette and added a home brew outer glow partly masked by a bottom to top gradient. The butterflies are a brush and a reference to the swallowtail box theme of the latest edition of Photoshop Elements. The sunburst was created from a block of black and white, the stylize>wind and distort>polar filters and a color fill. The text is taken from the gladiatorial dedication to Caesar in ancient Rome (We who are about to die salute you -- in Latin, of course). I went back and forth between substituting 'design' or 'draw' for 'die', but settled on 'draw' to match the syllable count. The font is Goudy Old Style.

Salute to Grant
