    Thanks, andrevandyk. I understand they had a tough time with the decision. May have simply tossed a dart.

    Message to Top 4 designs:
    We are having a hard time picking the best. All of your designs are outstanding and I wish we could have them all (I guess more money could do that).
    Over the weekend, we are talking with several people to get their opinions. We will select a winner on Monday.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    If anyone's looking for a last minute idea, here's one I just came up with...a little unusual:

    I've seen software ads where it's a short comic strip.
    For example, check out these ads:
    http://www.midwestscubadiving.com/C…/SGad4.jpg
    http://www.midwestscubadiving.com/C…/SGad3.jpg
    http://www.midwestscubadiving.com/C…/SGad5.jpg
    They're kind of goofy, but people will read them...I do.

    Maybe ours would be:
    Episode 1: Dave wants to go scuba diving this weekend but has nobody to dive with...
    Slide 1: (at office desk) Dave calling friends but having no luck.
    Slide 2: Steve walks in and asks "What's the problem?". Dave says "I want to dive this weekend but don't have a dive buddy". Steve says "Did you try midwestscubadiving.com?". Their Steve says "Their "Dive Match" section helps divers find dive buddies".
    Slide 3: (looking at computer monitor) Dave says "This is great! Jenny S needs a dive buddy too!". Steve says "Yeah and she's single. This website also helps single divers meet".
    Bottom portion is list of items and maybe a magazine cover.

    I know these are a bit complex to create and too late in the game to do, but wanted to throw it out anyways.
    The Top 5 designs are left and they're all excellent.
    Thanks to everyone for their hard work.

    Question: Would you be opposed to me using istock photography in my layout? The cost is under $20.
    Answer: We have an iStockPhoto account and will buy the high resolution photo if your design wins. Feel free to use their low-res photos in your designs.
