May Freebies: Conrad, the Wandering Design Ninja

Last month I gave away some special bonuses for people who either follow me on Twitter or are a part of the 36 Point group on Facebook. Well there's no such thing as too much love, so I'm doing it again! In addition to the same goodies from last month (ie: this iPhone wallpaper:

And this iChat/AIM/Buddy icon…)

… I also wanted to go ahead and give you a real, live, full-size Paper Dummy of Conrad, the Wandering Design Ninja himself. So, unlike last month, when you click on this image you'll get a link to the actual PDF and you can build your very own Conrad to watch over you at your desk, and threaten you with deadly ninja moves when your logo is the wrong size.



There's already a Newton up at 36 Point if you want the full dynamic duo and more will appear each month! Again, full access to 36 Point's downloads page is available to anyone who supports the site with a tiny, miniscule Paypal donation. All proceeds go to help us keep up on hosting costs and other necessities to keep the best graphic design site in the world stay strong! HUGZ.

from Nate Voss to you.
