Fail Whale Pale Ale
For the last few days I've been feverishly working on a very intense side project - a label for Fail Whale Pale Ale.TweetHunt.org is holding a contest to design a label for a mythical brew named for Twitter's "service overload" page. The beauty of the thing is that I had been playing with a few Fail Whale projects for the last few weeks. I wanted to pay tribute and wanted to explore the possibilities of amping up a nautical theme around Whaley but I kept getting frustrated and scrapping things.
Below is my final submission, now listed at TweetHunt.
It was done entirely in Photoshop. The final high-res file is over 73 Mb and uses over 75 layers.

- Sean O'Steen (TechMonkeyDesign.com)
- Stilgherrian (Stilgherrian.com)
- Marina Zurkow (o-matic.com)
- and the originator of the phrase "Fail Whale Pale Ale", Jen Chance (@stalwartmoonpie)

It is pretty good, but you should see the one with the nerdy looking web designer all thugged out and strapped with a gun in a shoulder holster and stuff.. It does get better. Oh yes it does.
It is really helpful. Finally, after the tiring moments, we can see the outcome and feel more optimistic.
Ruby,
Completely agree with you. I like that design very much.
Good luck with the contest. We all pull for you ;)
very good

No, "teh" is used in the slang form here.

Wow, I wish I could do that kind of work in Photoshop. Unfortunately, I'm still somewhat of a novice. P.S. I hope you win!

I am glad that people are stepping up and doing something about it. safariland
My lunchtimes at work are filled with frantic magazine perusals. My subconscious knows that the more information I read, the more celebrity 1Y0-A06 gossip and the more pictures I absorb, the less I'll think about work and my lunch can become somewhat of an escape. I usually go for the newspaper. I can cover everything but the sports section in about 20 minutes. If there's no paper, I go for the trade magazines or Mens' Journal. 1Y0-A09 If I've already read those, my options are Boating World, Car and Driver, O (Oprah's Magazine) or ESPN magazine. ESPN puts together a pretty nice magazine (that coming from someone who could care less about the sporting world) with articles that extend beyond the normal sporting fare. My favorite section by far is Zoom. A collection of larger than life, 1z0-007 dumps full page pictures captured at the perfect millisecond in the action.
All i have to say is that your 'submission' is absolutely amazing. The only problem is that 73 mb can surely not be used on any site but the design and idea is fabulous.

I have to say that is some beautiful work. Have you ever thought about making your art into outdoor business signs?
