Solvitur Ambulando (req)

From ro...@itsa.uscf.edu · alt.ascii-art · 7 Dec 2001 18:51 · View full thread · report
Hello,

My mother just finished an extended hike in Peru to Machu Pichu and up
to the Inca Trail. Quite an achievement for a 74 year old woman!

So, I am putting together a framed "Certificate". The inscription will
read:

Solvitur Ambulando
-Saint Augustine-

Translates as "It is solved by walking."

I am using a light gray 8.5x11 inch paper, probably in landscape mode.
The paper has a 1/2" blue border with gold stars. This leaves about
7.5x10 inches of "white space"

I am looking for you help in incorporating appropriate ascii art.
Seems to me, two approaches could be taken:

1. Art above and below the inscription, thus allowing for nifty fonts
for the inscription; or

2. Incorporation of the inscription into the art via figlet, etc.

I don't mind doing a lot of work to get everything laid out, but am
very open to your contributions. Please include your marks (initials,
etc) for appropriate credit (of course). Also, your preferences
regarding font (courier, etc).

I am open to any ideas or contributions.

Thanks,

Roy
