Last Call for Covers

No...not music covers. Book covers, silly.

One down and one to go. We've already selected the cover art for Revit Essentials. More to follow about that cover but it's really fantastic and yet again not from a firm in the US (last years cover hailed from Australia).

The deadline to targeting Mastering Revit is quickly approaching. In other words - we'll probably have to decide by the end of this week! So if you'd like to have your Revit efforts considered for the cover of Mastering Revit please email your submissions to masteringrevit@architecture-tech.com. Once again, there are two really important points:

1. Don't send high-res images suitable for publication (yet). Just send medium-res PNGs and JPGs for review (and ppplease don't email bandwidth choking BMP files).
2. If accepted, you (or someone with the appropriate authority) will need to sign a waver allowing the image to be published. Then we'll resolve where to send/upload the high-res image.

But speaking of music covers, the Flat Tires, only play an occasional cover. And speaking of the Flat Tires (couldn't resist) they're playing next Saturday (2/19) less than an hour from Chicago. And since you've finally recovered your car from the city's storage yard after wisely abandoning it along Lake Shore Drive during the recent freak snowstorm - you can drive! :)

The occasion is Ruff House Tattoos 11th Annual Art Show and Party. Think you've got artistic skills? We'll - it's one thing to casually sketch out an idea on a piece of trace paper and another thing entirely to believe you've got what it takes to permanently ink another human being. You'll wonder how you were ever considered a candidate for a degree in architecture after checking out some of the talented work by the owner and staff of Ruff House Tattoos. Their Annual Party and Art Show is rumored quite legendary and not to be missed.

So head on over to The Modern Post in Schererville, Indiana next Saturday. The address and other details are below via Facebook link. The first person to take a photo of themselves with front man Clint Harrison and email it to me (he doesn't usually bite and anyway he's up to date on his shots) get's a complimentary copy of either Mastering Revit or Revit Essentials - up to you!

Want to win both books? Bonus points if you're the first person to send me a picture of yourself, Clint and Mark Schmieding. Long story! :)
