Re: Deck drop off

It's ok, we all struggle near the deck release! Joyce and I haven't even finished all of our decks so the released will probably be pushed to tomorrow.

I looked at your decks and the image editing is great! but the borders are a bit off in almost all of the decks, not just the ones you fixed. Sorry if I'm being too strict, but while I want to respect everyone's style of deckmaking, I also want the decks to look more of less uniform.

Ok, things we think you need to work on: most decks color border is too light or bright and the text is hard to see. My suggestion is this: if you can't see the little white dots inside the cards, then the border color is too light. If you still want to use those colors, I can't stop you, but just remember that the text might be too hard to read unless the color border is really dark... which takes me to my second point: if the outer border is TOO dark, it contrast a lot with the inner border and I personally think is distracting;;

powered was the perfect example of this, thank god you fixed it XD The new hyper, powered and bedridden are great, but rolling is too light and very hard to read. Also, please check your 00 cards for these 4 decks, they look a little odd. (the text, particularly)

So my last suggestion would be that you work again on the borders, try that all of your decks have borders similar to hyper (outer border color just a tad bit darker than inner border) and if the text is hard to read, then that means inner border should be a bit darker. Believe me, it takes a bit of time to get the hang of this! You have done a great job so far considering you didn't have any experience, so just keep working on this and you'll find the right technique in no time (:

You still have some time, but please turn them in as soon as possible! There's still a very small chance that the release is posted today in the evening (EST) though if it's impossible for you today, we can wait until tomorrow, just let me know!
