#131 Very nice. Chic and simple. Can it translate to (1) a black background and (2) yellow background?
#129 +#130 Thank you for trying the scarf and sunglasses approach!!! (1) Is there a way to incorporate them without a girl? (2) Feel free to try a pattern on scarf. I'll think some more on this too.
Good question. Hmm, waves, wavy lines or nautical stripes could be nice and signal coastal feel. Zig zag (maybe tough)? Tiny dots plus solid could be nice. These are some thoughts. Print shoudl be simple enough to translate in different ad & print media I guess, so not too many intricate detail. Simple. Hope that helps.
#172 I will try again...but a light buttery yellow on the C your name is not visible ...but I will try some other arrangement of the color on black and see if it works.
#175 I went ahead and tried this on the scarf....the possibilities on a scarf are endless but to keep with your color scheme I kept it simple and if you notice the word Paris and on the left is a stylized impression of the Eiffel tower. Also if you want to go back to just the solid black sunglasses I can do that ...was playing around with this possibility for you
#172 That's ok. If the lighter yellow doesn't seem to work / not visible. Don't worry about it. I thought that might be the case.
#175 Still looks like a women because of the sunglasses. Oh well. I think that combo won't work. Scarf is pretty. I played with cut and paste to see if it would look nice over, under or in-between the words, but, not sure about it either. Hmmm. I don't know. I was just trying to add some visual interest. Maybe simpler is better.
Forgot to tell you I tried the buttery yellow on the 'C' and it isn't working either so I transposed it to your name and the darker color or black with varnish on the background
Yes I like the C style from #179 better than from #180 (for me the C background style from #180 is as you say "too ornate" for what I am going for). I like the yellow font color from #180 though. I wonder if you used that font color yellow for Cape Chic and moved it to #179 and then lightened up the gray C in the background to lighter gray?
I know I guess the scarf ended up more playful as you say. We tried! :-)
I don't understand about the buttery yellow...it looks different on the website but it is the exact same...another designer brought this up on our discussion forum and may be just the digital transferring of information???
but I lightened the gray a little ....
One thing about any design like the scarf...it's not wasted...there are other contests that always come up for us to recycle them
Weird about the buttery yellow being exact same. Good to know! Thanks. The ligher gray is good because the darker gray C was getting a little lost. I liked it bigger, like before but that's ok. I'm glad to know designs like the scarf won't get wasted! Thanks. Sandra
