Henceforth: I am instating a few new Dribbble rules for my shots. They're easy to follow. Keep to the rules and we'll all get along just fine. (See above)
Note: This design is final. It has already been approved by the client (myself). It is perfect and cannot be improved upon. Do not, under any circumstances, rebound this.
I actually don't have any "personal rules" for how others should use Dribbble. I don't care. Which is why it struck me as funny when someone instituted any rules beyond the general public forum rule: "be nice."
Considering every variation of Helvetica and Lucida Grande look horrific on Windows, Arial is pretty much all you got when it comes to content fonts.
I'm still confused as to why people hate Arial so much... it's your only choice when it comes to user controlled text. Plus, it's the only font that looks decent on all OS's.
I think designers on Macs take for granted that all fonts look awesome on their OS... well guess what, they don't on every other OS. /rant
Alright, I know I'm breaking the rules here, but I think this is completely fugly.
You really need to learn how to use CHOCKLOCK, cause that's just wrong. Also, I can spot a few half pixels there, so that doesn't help your design either. Learn from your mistakes for the next time! :) Keep practicing. ;D

@Darren - That's right. I post shots with an iron fist. :)

Now full justification in that little space would have really accented the stunning use of Arial, but since the design is final, whatever :D
By the way, you are awesome.

No dropshadow. Fail.
BUT, it's final and I'm just an orthopedic surgeon that really likes design and I know more than you because I am said client but, it looks great.
You're awesomesauce.

Ah, the white-on-white drop shadow. Good call. I thought this had a certain je ne sais quoi.

It needs more noise. A design is not mature until it looks like someone has sneezed on it.

It *does* need noise. Darn. The one thing I forgot!
Though, all-caps is pretty "noisy" too
