Cat Hat :Contest Entry:

'Tis my entry to *calgarycosplay's Cat Hat Sale Contest. It's basically who can best advertise their sale I think.

When I read about the contest I got three distinct posters in my head. This is the first one. I don't know if I'll end up making all three because I still want to do ~World-Inside-Me's contest. So we'll see how time goes.
I've generally happy how this came out though. I'm thinking of showing to my instructor just to get some general feedback as far as an ad goes. I should have done the text in InDesign though--that text tracking and kerning. This was fun too, I think I'll try to do more portraits like this. I hope it's okay if it's only half the hat...

Enjoy! I hope I place well.
