8/27 so I started these WEEKS ago and a series of crashes made me have to re-do SEVERAL of these SEVERAL times. YES I saved them but my external hard drive didn’t seem to care. It couldn’t find what I completed and even lost my notes for what was done and what I needed to do. Now I’m basically starting over from scratch. Fun times. NOT! GRRR!!!

I like the Episode Titles set the best. Is the base for 'Reveille' a map of the American continent? It looks like that.

It's nice that you chose your own fonts for the 'Keep calm' icons :). Perhaps the font should have been a bit larger for nr.3 (shop), though.

Thank you.

The base for 'Reveille' is the partial opening screen logo for the show NCIS - which happens to be North/Central/South America map

I played around with the font for the shopping icon and I haven't figured out the spacing bc every time I increased the font, the spacing got larger. at that point, I should have picked another font, but I was frustrated

Oh right, yes, some fonts have really large spacing between lines. What I often do in such cases is that I put each word in a separate layer. That way it's possible to move them closer to one another. Also then you can use different sizes of the same font, which can be an effect on its own.

But, I know you mentioned above that you really had trouble making these in the first place, so it's understandable if you weren't into experimenting a lot. Good job anyway :).
