hi Dzains-
I am very happy with the design, thank you so much - - - i want to try a couple minor variations, and i have a couple questions
design:
the only thing i'd like to actually change is the line in the circle design, #51...could you try something not so rigid and clean...like maybe a "laurel-wreath" kind of line, or elements taken from the lace/border in the graphic...even if it's more of a broken line...i wish i could explain it better, but maybe you know what i mean
colors:
1.) can we try a dark Taupe right in between t#39 and #51 versions - how about #A8916B...i think #39 is too green but #51 might show up "pinkish" in print (i've had this issue before) - i know some of it depends on the monitor, so i'm hoping to get it just right.
2.) in #51, can you make the "&" teal, as you did in #39 - i like the way it stands out and it will emphasize the "pendant" concept, perhaps.
3.) if you have time, i was wondering if i could see the feather accented with a second color (in addition to the Teal) like #DE1B1A...i was thinking this would be nice for the holidays. Maybe in slightly thinner "wisps" than the Teal.
Text:
Would you be willing - now or later - to help me play around with the font? I like this one alright, but maybe we could find something a tiny bit "lacier" to go with the border in the graphic? Not sure on this, just a thought - - - i really like the ampersand - is that the same font as the rest of the title text? I've used SquirrelFont in the past - maybe i'll hunt around on there - would those fonts work in your design tool?
Two questions:
1.) Will i be able to request multiple orientations from you after the contest closes - ideally i'd like both a linear AND a circular version so i have the options depending on the medium or placement. Also i'd like a file of just the graphic itself, with no text, to be used on our merch tags. I just want to make sure to ask ahead of time.
2.) Part of what i like about this design is that i think it will lend itself well to various modifications, depending on the season - i'm thinking an ornament or snowflake for the holiday season, a pumpkin for Halloween/Thanksgiving, even a lacy heart for Valentine's Day, etc...
so my question is, would you be available for additional work after the contest, as i might contact you periodically to ask for slightly different versions to use for seasonal campaigns - i may even try to have a custom pendant or charm made from the graphic, so i might need a particular file type or something for metal stamping or etching, i'm not sure yet.
my apologies for the length - i tend to think a lot :)
have a wonderful rest of your day!
Best Regards,
Elena
