      I don't know... it doesn't make sense to me... then again it's a Friday and I'm already looking forward to that 4 day weekend!

      Well... here is what is confusing the story... "Resolved" - meaning complete, done whatever... and if that looks like a check list, nothing is checked off..

      But it also looks like it was the previous year's resolutions that never did happen and that person, instead of writing new resolutions, is just using the same card - scratched the year out and wrote 2008..

      see... that and the word "resolved" are confusing... i'm not sure what the message is supposed to be, but you might have to work on making it clearer.

      i would put the "new year's resolution" text up in the top, and get rid of resolved all together. then put the actual resolutions down on the yellow.

      Thanks for your comments, Conrad and Lava.

      Maybe the dual definition of "resolved" is the issue. It's not resolved like complete, it's "resolved" like it's something I'm resolved to do, much like Jonathan Edwards' resolutions: www.apuritansmind.com/ChristianWalk/Resolutio nsOfJonathan... even though the series isn't about Jonathan Edwards, I'm just using him as an example.

      The idea I was going for is that this year will be different than the last. Maybe that didn't come across that well though. : )

      Resolved is the title of the series, so how could I change it to look better and keep that as the focus?

      What if you add the word: TO

      Resolved to:
      the list.....

      Good idea, Daniel, I'll see what I can do with it.

      I wonder if it would make more sense to have the resolutions scratched out and reworded, such as "To lose weight" scratched out and replaced by "Run 1/2 mile everyday".

      That would play off the most important (my opinion) meaning of resolved - "to re - solve", that is, "to come up with a better solution". Include the scratched out 2007. It shows that you are resolute - not giving up - even if you didn't get it done last year.

      I think this is a great design. I would only change one thing, but I'm not sure if it can be changed. The whole design looks a little flat and, well, designed.

      What if you made this list in real life, then took some photos of it. Then it would translate into real life a little better. Right now, you can tell someone fired up photoshop and put this thing together. A photo of a real list would create a little more organic and relatable graphic....I think.
