Here's another arts & crafts item to follow the Roosevelt tribute [to Sinnock]. We owe the obverse here to Gillroy Roberts and Frank Gasparro did the reverse. The Kennedy photo is in the public domain. I welcome all constructive criticism for improvements.   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by Biedercoins

Thanks. My live-in critic (who can always find major design flaws) thinks it would be better with the coins in a straight column to the left side (facing).

Hmmm. Maybe. But I do not mind them the way they are. I wonder if the text would look too heavy being on one side as well.

Well balanced with excellent choices for fonts and locations.
The only criticism would be that I would suggest losing the clutter at the top left corner.
I realize it's part of the photo but it draws the eye in the wrong direction.

I like it, and I like the coin placement. |

Moxking: I agree with the mess in the upper left; it's a light sconce. Some PhotoShop magic fill could take care of that.
Thanks for the input, everybody.

It looked perfectly natural before the crop: one of these light fixtures on either side of the President's desk. If this was a Lincoln matter, coop would already have seen it, fixed it, and posted a better version. And I mean that in the most positive way. However, this one is pretty minor and I should be able to make it disappear on my own  |
