Here are a couple of samples from my first try. Please critique them. I've found it quite an interesting experience so far. Learning unfamiliar software is always fun (or did I mean frustrating?)
Not sure if I am doing any of this right. I Started out in Illustrator where I created a 1" circle and most of the text. Photoshop seemed limited in this, especially wrap-around text. I then exported everything as a photoshop file. Each item was put on it's own photoshop layer. Once it was in photoshop I turned layers on and off, played with scale and positioning. And that's where I stand.
So what is the feeling for this one? I wanted to keep it light hearted, hence the child's riding toys. Any thoughts on the fonts? Theme? ... etc.
What's next? When I look at these beside the Jason's casino chip they look amateurish (which they are). I realize I only have one inch to work with (no jokes please). There is only so much you can fit in before it begins to look too crowded.
Thanks,

ps. I've tried to upload an attachment but it's my first try. So if it's not there I''ll give it another go.
Now after reading jalsings, I can see what he means. Maybe a little space between not much just a bit will correct that. But I love this idea you can up with and they will look great either way.
