I submitted my first entry for @sndbox's thumbnail competition was here

However, I had an idea to make a writing on sand effect which I can be seen in this post.

Use this Link to view the competition announcement post.

Software used:

Adobe Photoshop CS5

Concept

• Artistic Background blends with the sandy effect to express water-like effect.

• Sndbox logo sits in the sand.

• Incubator Program for the month of January is shown behind the Sndbox text.

• Sndbox text is a typographic blend of @sndbox's colours.

Font type

• Evogria
