To everyone who suggested Daily Deviations to me or took part in challenges, contest, commented on the journals and the DDs (srsly, do that!) and was supportive in whatever way!
A second Thank you to the awesome team of Community Volunteers and moonbeam13 who does such an amazing job in keeping us all sane and together. ( I suspect it works both ways, but shh!) Also to dxd, fourteenthstar & ikazon who support the team, too! You're an amazing bunch and I am glad to know you and be able to work with you!
Okay, let's dry our eyes and continue with the business
Daily Deviations
I have not done a round up in some months, there has been less to feature, so here are the Typography Daily Deviations from October to now.
CRTextandTypography
On January 1st I started the group CRTextAndTypography to showcase the Typography DDs and to host contests and challenges.
The two challenges that were successfully launched this year:
The Paintbucket Challenge: Results!Today's feature is all about the groups previous (and first) challenge: The Paintbucket Challenge ! A lot of deviants took part in this project and I love the outcome :la:For those of you who are "new" to this group, here's the idea again.

I got this idea from :devbetteo: who hosted the original ALPHABET.CONTEST in 2009.I thought it would be a great challenge to be part of :devcrtextandtypography: tha...
Trajan Replacement Challenge: Results!Today's feature is all about the groups previouschallenge: Trajan Replacement Challenge ! Unfortunately the participation was not much. Feedback on whether the subject was too complicated or whatever was the reason for not taking part is greatly appreciated :)I will quickly retell the challenge and the submissions will come right after :eager: Trajan Replacement Challenge The main objective of this challenge is to evaluate the appropiate interaction between meaning, words, lettering and typefaces. The goal is to create a type treatment, or typographical logo, that focuses on one word or phrase as its main focus. The idea is to find a movi...
