IRISH SWEEPSTAKES_600

Here's my final project for the Text Workshop. A bit of a story. When I was in 7th grade my parents had bought their annual Irish Sweepstakes ticket and, for once, they won! The way it worked, thousands of people bought tickets and the hospital (charity behind the game) committee in Ireland drew a ticket for each horse in the Grand National race. If you we assigned a horse you automatically won money, and of course, if your horse won, you got more. So, our ticket was assigned but did not win the race. I think my folks got about $1000 which, in 1954, was enough for a new car! (First new car they ever had.) It was a fun time! My font is Bungee Inline. The photo corners are from my own kit. I made the plaid from the horse photo colors. Cassel's curved photo script on the ticket. Interesting techniques using vector texts as shapes.
