Description:

This is a new ATC series for altered text/print using a specific color each time.

Using a piece of paper from a book, magazine, pamphlet, etc, you'll make a random phrase from various words in the text.

It's up to you how you choose to make your phrase visible, as long as you use the color chosen for the specific swap in the series.

Be as creative as you'd like!

The only requirements are standard ATC size requirements of 2.5 x 3.5.

Newbies with fully fleshed out profiles and that have at least 5 completed AND rated mail swaps under their belts are invited to join. However, please be forewarned that flakers will NOT be tolerated.

Come on, we all like getting something special in the mail!! It's only a kind, simple act to reciprocate, and it doesn't require a lot of effort to do so. Don't flake!

You'll be sending 1 ATC to 1 partner. Have fun!

The image above is done by Tom Phillips and you can visit http://humument.com/gallery/index.html for more examples of altered text.

I'm not sure I understand what it is you need to do. Is this supposed to be a quote from someone or is it just a short paragraph you happened to make from some text?

Polymath 08/ 8/2010 #

It can be anything. It can be a random nonsensical phrase, something deep and meaningful, something humourous. Just alter the text to something you think might be creative. Hope this helps.

I have signed up for this but I was wondering if the ATC has to be vertical only as I have been working on one that is horizontal???

Polymath 08/10/2010 #

It can be either horizontal or vertical, as long as it measures standard ATC size.

how often do you do these kinda swaps with different colors? i would love to join but i don't have 5 completed swaps yet. what's your next color?

The concept is not to cut out random words/phrases, but to highlight them somehow on an existing page, right?

Yes...that's exactly it :)
