    An exercise in restraint. This is something I've been trying recently and found really useful, so I thought I'd challenge others to it! Rebound something awesome, it can be something you're already working on, or something new, or the words 'No Effect', or something you like, or anything you want pretty much! But don't use any effects (see below).

    Rules:
    • No Textures
    • No Gradients
    • No Shadows
    • No Gloss / Shine
    • No Glows
    • No Gubbins
    • Anything else that feels wrong, don't do it

    So just use solid text / shapes and colours. I would love to see what you come up with! If you disobey the rules hitherto mentioned, I will be forced to unleash my wrath. And I might even throw a bear.

    Yeah, I looked up Gubbins on the uncyclopedia. http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Gubbins

    Hilarious.

    Perhaps the only "effect" or trick is the lightning bolt, which is just two skewed triangles butted together. This was done entirely in InDesign. I did it a week or two ago when I had a short break between projects and thought it would fit this little challenge. It's just simple type on the company's red.

    So what you're saying is, a Geocities screenshot might not be the best rebound?

    OK, You got me. I normally don't show these guys without their requisite dot-screens and aged paper texture layers (http://dogmatic.colesmithco.com/2011/give-thanks/), but I have to admit. There is something kinda refreshing about that crisp black & white. Thanks for the interesting challenge.

    Simple enough, I suppose.

    I haven't posted anything on here in a long, long time.
