I know the blue thing works but I can't help but to keep wondering if we can get some more "color" out of this? What other colors would work and will they help excite the viewer or draw people into reading the tag, etc.?
What do you think?
These are coming along really nicely! Thanks again.
I can see what Diana means, but don't you think the water still gets affected by sailboats? Not as much as with powerboats but still, you do get some "splish splash" as you sail, right? :)
I'll try #80 in B&W. Quick question: what exactly do you mean by "advancing #56"?
i'm not sure how the logo tournament messaging system works.
i typed in a post this morning on our main tournament page under contest discussion.
do all the designers participating AUTOMATICALLY get a copy of that post? or would each of you have to be checking the general discussion section yourself on-and-off?
just wondering ...
did you get the message?
as an example, i didn't know i had this question (or message) from you here also. the system only tells you about private messages. i better go check everyone's posts right now!
Hi Mark. I'm sorry to find out myself that you don't get notifications for new messages on each designer's page :S Actually we are notified when YOU post a message on our personal page, but the opposite happens when it comes to the main contest page, when you post we don't get notifications, we do have to check manually. :S Yeah, It would be good if you checked each designer's personal page for feedback and whatnot.
I've read the post on the main page, I'll try and come up with another design.
I really don't know how this "ranking" and "not interested" metaphor is supposed to work.
But, unfortunately, I think it may mislead someone (and that someone could be you or me) into believing a concept is still alive if it's really not. That and Diana and I are trying not to hurt anyone's feelings. So we're probably leaving too much in the "ranked" column.
Remember, this is all new to us so please forgive our blundering.
Here's what I'd like to do and how you should interpret the next round of sorting:
1. If it's ranked, it's still alive and I assume you are working and improving that design along the lines of what we've either publicly or privately commented. I also assume you are generating new concepts because, so far, NO ONE IS WINNING. We are not satisfied with even the leaders (high rankings) ... otherwise we would have ended the contest earlier versus extending it. Make sense?
2. Otherwise, it's in the "not interested" column. Earlier, crcdesigns explained to me how to re-order everything at the end of the contest so as many people as possible get credits, and the leading designs all get ranked in the appropriate order (see above post). Never fear, I will absolutely do that at the END of the contest.
3. But for now anyway, the ranked entries are too clogged and they also aren't putting enough fire into either of us. Me, to drill down and focus on designs that could win the contest, and you to abandon concepts that shouldn't really be ranked and not competitive ... when bringing forth a new concept would serve you better.
So please do not be insulted when some concepts go quickly into the not interested column. Let's both communicate and focus on the potential winners!
And by the way, thanks once again everyone for all of the hard work and patience you're demonstrating,
I'll keep working on developing #80 further. To come up with another concept I'll have to take a little more time, and if I succeed I'll let you know. Thanks a lot, Mark! Say thanks to Diana too.
