No problem, fixed that for you.

[Kamineko]

Only Jimmer and totumo left!

You guys are fast!

[MikeDodgers]

I got the idea of where I wanted to go as soon as I got Designer's Choice. Running my design by 2 DC vets to see where I need to improve.

[Pi]

In case you have a question of whether a certain place in the USA is considered 'rural', don't be afraid to send me a message!
Excited to see the creativity brought by the designers this round! 

[BritishTARFan]

Just had a brill RB idea, turns out the town has a population of 58K 

[NELs]

Can my leg be in two different states or no?

[nrh2110]

Welp just saw the rural requirement. This is gonna be a tough one

[Pi]

Just had a brill RB idea, turns out the town has a population of 58K 

You can always message me to see if the location could be allowed! Some towns just over 50k might be OK to use as a rural area. (Place classifications in the USA can be confusing sometimes.)

Can my leg be in two different states or no?

Yes, your leg can traverse state borders, as long as you stay within your region and follow the other guidelines.

[Jimmer]

I'll take #4.

And I could get in tons of arguments about what is considered rural as it can mean different things to different people lol but thank you for listing a clear criteria!

For technicalities, should we use the 2010 census population or a more recent estimate?

[Pi]

Jimmer, since you picked the number 4, you get the NORTHEAST region!

You can only design in these states:

Connecticut
Maine
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Vermont
New Jersey
New York
Pennsylvania

Good luck!

[Pi]

For technicalities, should we use the 2010 census population or a more recent estimate?

For simplicity's sake, just refer to the 2010 Census population, as those numbers are more widely available.

(If you ever run into a situation where a town had a population over 50k in 2010 but has since dropped below that in future years' estimates, then it would be fine.)

I haven't made graphics since TAR FvF lol could anyone name the font(s) that resemble the script The Amazing Race uses? Thanks!

[MikeDodgers]

I've never been any good with graphics. For real, how does one get graphics like what you see on TV?

[totumo]

16 thank you

[Pi]

totumo, since you picked the number 16, you got the DESIGNER'S CHOICE!

It means that you have the freedom to pick whichever U.S. state you want to design in.

Good luck!

[Jimmer]

I've never been any good with graphics. For real, how does one get graphics like what you see on TV?

I've used Microgramma and Bank Gothic. And I use Microsoft word for my graphics lol

[georgiapeach]

If you quote a post and then preview...you will see a drop down box with multiple FONTS.

Or just start a post.

You can choose between them, adjust size and color.

Its handy for formatting. You can copy and save to your own computer.

Unfortunately, I have neither of those fonts loaded into Word on my end.

[Alenaveda]

Mike, there are sites where you can download fonts for free. Both fonts can be found there.

[MikeDodgers]

Mike, there are sites where you can download fonts for free. Both fonts can be found there.

Hmm...I think I have an idea on how I can pull this off with what I have. I'll try and find some of those sites you mentioned just in case I royally mess up.
