Your choice for the Egyptian plaque?
 

Which do you prefer?

Vertical, with a bigger detailed Tut mask, and striking simplicity?

Or Horizontal: the more traditional approach (think "dollar bill"), with more "art" on the painted canvas?

Please, disregard all other elements of the plaques. Once I choose vertical or horizontal, I'll make other tweaks on the choice. (details on the order here)

Vertical (up and down):

Horizontal (sideways):

My completely useless opinion is that horizontal looks better. I'm a bit of a tradionalist.

Re: Your choice for the Egyptian plaque?
 

Both are very nice. In the end, I voted for the portrait/vertical. I think the elegance/simplicity works well with the mask, and it fits the set better.

I like the horizontal better, but I really liked it a heck of a lot better with the bust/head a bit off center.
I'll try and toy around with it a bit.

I like the vertical one better. Horizontal one looks too busy for me.

I may go against the current and end up with the vertical. Two thirds of you like the horizontal as of this post (40 votes). Even my wife voted for the dollar bill design.

The more I look at it, the more I like the simple version. It really does go with the theme better. And it'll look much cooler with the back of Tut's mask on the back of the plaque. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

They say you lose detail with the portrait version? Why?

I'm glad you decided to do that, I think it will look very cool. You are good at what you do ten, and no matter what you choose I'm sure the set will look great.
