#11 Like the blue fading into night like dusk. something fading into a night sky with subtle stars moon? Don't like hibiscus flowers. this graphic is too common around here. I really want something unique. I do Like having an ukulele incorporated into the image but not sure about this graphic. would like to see some other ideas with different ukulele design. can be suble or abstract as well. Really like the font however. Also consider I'm working on a website and need the image on my homepage as well as putting it on items to resell in my store. #15 Like this Blue also. Would be nice to incorporate a little color. http://www.raige.net/pictures/images/00230360.jpg
Thanks so much for your entries! Please let me know any questions yo may have.
I am glad that you liked my work and thank you for feedback, I am open for all editing of my entries. Blue Color is nice I`ll put this gradient in oval image, would you like something other to replace hibiscus flower? Just ask I am ready to experiment with colors and objects, thanks again to respond and tomorrow at my local time I`ll work around new themes without flows...
p.s. Nice work and nice wood, this ukulele is gorgeous an unique ( from link around ) keep in touch Aloha
Good solution on the wordmark the "R" looks great. Also like what you've done night sky and better palm trees. I guess that's why I've ranked your design 1st so far. Not sure what to say to improve it... some things I would like to try if you have time
-having the black border or some other type of border on the oval an even width around the perimeter -not having the ukulele so prominent in the design. check out the website koolauukulele.com. I really like the feeling of their logo. "more about the feeling of someone playing in a beautiful setting" -possibly some water int he foreground? moonglow reflection on the water? -possibly just a touch of some color in the sky like late sunset -Also check out http://harrywishard.com/artist/wishard-all.php for some great ideas on the feeling I'm going after. Obviously not detailed work like this but the paintings depict the type of imagery I'm looking for.
thank you for respond, I am happy to like my work, sure I work on it a little bit very nice drawing out there (link) and I try to combine some elements to from this artwork, you count on me, also in future some landscape or some illustration for your web site or something, I am very happy with this contest and I have inspiration also for all U want. Simply this is my style.
Thanks Steve for all your revisions. I like your style alot. I'll try and make some time this evening to comment more on them. Quickly though. -#36 and #37 the black ukulele dosen't seem to work. especially how the white sound hole looks. how about just putting a silouette of a little guy playing an ukulele or guitar like this Hawaiimusicsupply.com in the scene and taking the ukulele out alltogether. Also prefer mountains in the picture something like entry #27 but possibly in Dark green. (kind of what they look like here) #35 Love the blue reflection in the water. name dosen't flow together well being split up by the sun however. Interested in possibly choosing a log without an ukulele also so maybe keep it out on this entry. I'll probably end up choosing the nicest serene Hawaiin type scene with the nicest font type. Also I like this font best for the "handcrafted in hawaii" #38 again the ukulele dosen't work well in the image. Especially black font on black ukulele
Me again... new revision of #35 with this one #41, #42 I`ll put more contrast in the sky (deep sunset like) Main title is now bigger and condensed, one of them is gradient fill look nice. Added mountains behind and small text (handcrafted in hawaii) now follow oval ring. Hope you liked... Soon I came with another Idea, i`ll work on this now...
Hi Steve. Nice job with the gradient blue on the font #43 and mountains look good as well with the green. starting to feel like hawaii. Also like the other color mountains providing depth.. can we go back to a lighter blue sky like #16. green reflection in the front dosen't work. Please make that blue water. You can use reflection like #35 Again check out harry wishard for some nice colors. Little guy playing looks good as well but can't quite tell what he's doing. would like to see another version of this. He's kind of suspened in air in this image. Prefer palms and moon as well like #16 (more hawaiian like). I think we should take out the little hut's as well. Possibly move the handcrafted ukuleles from hawaii to the bottom of the circle? Would like to try it anyway. #43 #7 #8 #9 #10 trade name taking up too much of the image. try reducing size? less bold? #42 is growing on me... At first I thought too much color but it may be good for putting on products. Again though I think the name takes up too much of the image. would like to see the gradient blue font on this as well as mountains like #43 wow, being a contest holder can be full time job with all the feedback. I do wish you well in the contest. I know you have put a lot of effort into the design and I really appreciate that.
HI Steve, I just wanted to clarify a little more about the name. I would like the name to fit into the image not cover it. More like some of your earlier designs.
Thank You very much Cary... Your feedback is very good I agree with you, appreciate your opinion. I`ll do my best to stay 1st. and make the best design to you and closely to your wishes. I am clearly understand how to edit my previous submission. thank you again, best wishes from
