Cool thanks for the link.  Most of the designs I do are in Illustrator so
that they are in vector format.  I can convert it to (almost) any format you
need though.  I have done a very small amount of print but not enough to
really work with it.  Usually when I have an idea about a design in my head
i'll look up some tutorials and mix and match a little from those.  I am
pretty good with icons and have some knowledge with Flash animation as well.
