I'm Running For President!

Of my class of course. I come to the people of NSG not looking for ways to lie, er, direct my campaign, but some form of designing a logo.

I hope to Photoshop an image like:

or
http://www.stickergiant.com/Merchant2/imgs/125/clinton_125.gif

and put it on a tie or pin.

I've got a week, so I hope to put this together by the weekend (best by Fri to order on time) so I can get these out there.

Artists of NSG, heed my call!

I find those logo's a bit unimaginative, but I suppose it's their party colours or something.
It may be easier to make with InkScape than photoshop (at least the wavy bit at the top). But in the worst case, just substitute their name for your own. You won't need an artist to make you something like those two example. If you want something better, then perhaps.

Tell everyone that you were totally disgusted to find your opponent openly masticating in the toilets recently. Further, not only was he not ashamed to be caught doing this, he actually asked if you would join him!

If it's a girl you're running against, say that she's a strong-minded thespian who enjoys gesticulating with other girls and spends a lot time actively encouraging other girls to join with her in her thespian activities.
Also, she dreams of gesticulating wildly with other girls (and boys!) in front of paying customers one day.

You've been told on good authority that the father of your opponent is an blatant Homo Sapien, whilst the mother is a total Hetrosexual.

Is this the sort of person you want as class president?

Confusing the voters with big words isn't nice ;)

I actually would be disgusted to find somebody masticating in the toilets. Even moreso if I were asked to join.

What's the name that's going on this logo? Or do you just want a cryptic graphic?

Fleck.

Cryptic graphic may only come off as a threat, I would assume. :D

Maybe you could try adapting the "Shrek" font and graphics? Having Disney sue you would certainly get your campaign some publicity!

Silly, I had those long before I was even hired (http://forums1.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12560807&postcount=11).

How else could I have dealt with the utter amazingness of my creativity (http://forums1.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12560838&postcount=14)?

Use her sign: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tracy_Flick.jpg and just change the name slightly.

Just an update: Tomorrow is the election.

Today, I made a big splash with buttons with the image and I splurged for nice, hot soft pretzels I handed out for free. Feelin' pretty confident.

We were allowed to make posters for the election. It quickly devolved into mudslinging. "Person X is a known rapist." "Voting for Person Y will give you AIDS." "Hitler supports Person Z: Don't you?"
The last one was mine. :p The teacher running it chewed us out.

Hopefully, tomorrow's primaries will come out positive. Then I must write a speech for the final showdown.

Sorry you didn't get by, Fleck. I voted for you, man! And I didn't make it past the primaries for secretary either, if it's any consolation. :(
