...This is my entry into the lines contest...Long before the advent of computers, basic lettering/layout went something like this...Faint lines were always used in the background, then came the (hand rendered) typeface best suited for the presentation...Croy machines (sort of big mutated label makers)...that spit out typeface for paste-up applications came later...but there always were lines...

I can remember the old linotype machines Yogi. I worked with one exactly like this in 1975 before we switched to offset printing in 1976.
Great creation for the contest.

A smart bomb is only as clever as the idiot that tells it what to do
Clever entry, Ron. I remember the lined paper we used to learn penmanship too. This reminds me of that. Good luck.

Simplicity as it's best! Wonderful contest entry Ron ... best of luck.

A fantastic take on the topic, Ron! I really like your use of monochromatic colour and shading! Nice touch with your watermark as well! Faved+ Best of luck in the contest :)
