CLipping Power

I was going to call the heading for topic "Flower Power" but sense prevailed. In this months Computer Arts, September tutorial section there is this tutorial on clipping and compound masks which will only take 1 hour according to the intro. In my opinion it is not a great looking poster but if you want to brush up using bitmaps and text as masks it is OK. In my opinion it is bland and lacks contrast but maybe I should have done another 2 smaller masks and spent a bit more time on the hatched text to the right handside but I wanted to get on with other work.
