Really? You were one of the fans who came to mind when I was thinking of those I'd like to see tackle the design challenge. You did some interesting things with the Time Traveler's Ball artwork you created many moons ago, and your skills have only continued to expand since then.
Your reaction reminds me of the one I had when Deb Geisler asked me to design the Noreascon 4 logo. While I'd created some logos for PROmote clients, I could easily think of several fannish designers better suited to the N4 logo design job. Then, as I was responding to Deb, I started having ideas. "If I were to design your logo, it wouldn't be "X," it would be more along the lines of "Y." Hmmm..."Y" had some interesting possibilities.
That's how the email that was intended to apologetically turn down the request instead turned into a design concept. Much fun experimentation followed, and much learning, too. During the design phase itself, then during the following three years when I had to live with both the strengths and weaknesses of my work.
