 |
|
Can somebody help me please. I have recently seen a rather eye catching Heineken campaign and would like to use a similar design for my business. I'm a bit OCD about the hollow square being exactly in the middle ie, equidistant from each side. The image attached is what I am aiming for. Any tips would be massively appreciated. [img][/img]

Thanks everyone
