I'm a loser, baby.


So, I entered Dr. Zibbs' contest for creating his new header. Something told me, the more I worked on it, the less of a chance I had at winning. It's the "Zibbs Factor". Zibbs would probably pick the shoddiest design, as long as it was funny enough. Why was I wasting my creative design skills here? I was bored.

And, I got to test out my new, free, pseudo-Photoshop tool called GIMP. It's kind of rickety, but has most of the tools PS does. And I utilized my Picnik (paid) membership, too. I stopped before I got all fancy with brushes, remembering the Zibbs factor.

So, even though I'm a LOSER, I'd like to thank Zibbs for giving me the opportunity to shake up my skillz.

I still think he should change his header every week or so, just so we can see all the other losers.

Well done !
Seems like we are all big time L(osers) (doing the L thing with my hand to my forehead) but it was fun doing it and as they say ; it's the journey that's the most important, not the destination !

Zibbs? Who needs Zibbs. I am sure there are other yak blogs out there, looking for these loser headers.

Actually, the company I'm finding over here in the loser's circle is pretty talented.

I would have used yours.

I do really like this design.

I really like your design, it's one of my favorites.
And then I scrolled down your blog past all of the food and drink, and my stomach rumbled and my mind went blank. xo

My photography instructor recommended GIMP for people who didn't want to buy Adobe PS. I am getting buy with the "econo" version of PS called Elements.

I like your header.

I really like yours too.

It's much bluer and yakkier than the chosen one!

I love the fonts you used for the lettering! (and the thought-bubble made me laugh)

This is really great.

Thanks everyone! I'd say the losers circle IS pretty darn talented...and cute! How in the world did Zibbs not pick one of us based on beauty alone? :P

Kimmie, wait a minute...have you seen my profile photo? That's really me up there. I'm the one on the left, standing up. I do have a mirrow you know.

Jadedj...I was trying to be nice, alas, you called me out. But even a mama roach thinks her baby is cute. :P

Sorry you didn't win but at least the youth of America won't be traumatized by Googling "That Blue Yak."
