wicked worn look

I'm still on the search for that perfect font that says "Jackson Ward Historic District." The wicked worn look had some great links to free fonts; and free being the optimal word here, as I am poor. What says late 19th-century Romanesque and post-bellum architecture? Or what says African American neighborhood? So far, I have yet to find anything I like.

Also on the wicked worn look, the link to Sleeping Giants. This website is very cool! They've captured the feel of a delapidated airfield with the music and graphics of the site. The movies are well done, I'm sure Mary & the rest of the class that was in the documentary class can appreciate the clips. I appreciated the how-tos on the other postings from wicked worn look site as well, these may come in handy.

I've found some great Habs/Haer photos from Jackson Ward that I'll be using in my final project (ah, the beauty of public domain). It'll be fun to experiment with these in photoshop. I've used photoshop at work to process the National Register of Historic Places scanned images of nominations on the register, but no retouching was involved as we wanted to get as faithful a fascimile of the original as we could. But I'm very familiar w/ cropping, adjusting levels, and all the different file formats. I'm looking forward to having fun w/ Photoshop.
