If I am understanding you correctly here is one possibility of a more technical approach. I will be looking for your comments. Please let me know the direction you would like to take from here on these. Thank you Tere
Let me know if you want a script, a serif or san serif font...or a hand written one, as in my first submitted design. I could also incorporate your signature into the design.
Do you see something in #10, if I alter it that it would be more towards his style? Does low key reflect his art style also? Impressionism? Who is his favorite artist? If you could choose one to refflect his choices.
Also, so you know the low number of entries at this time is because the designers usually will submit towards the last days of the contest, so you will begin to see many more.
We all are excited when we find a Contest Holder who gives input as you are. It helps us be more creative.
