#1 Thankyou. Generally this style is reasonable. We are thinking that the grey lines in the sky are quite dominant and we are in two minds if they are what we want to keep this going anyway, maybe lighten the lines off a bit. Your trees are the same, in Australia all eucalypt trees are all different and definitely not like pine trees or many 'look alike' european trees. Try and make the shape of trees or even just one tree look quite different. Check out pictures of Australian Gum (Eucalypt) Trees. The lines in the brown (dirt) section of the image looks like 'ploughed' land. Our sanctuary is not that, it is a grassy natural ecosystem. Maybe find a place for grasses or shrub like shapes. Can we please remove the words Parks Conservation and Lands. It is the Sanctuary compnoent we are trying to emphasise.
thanks for the feedback, shape with gray color, in addition to representing clouds, is also represents the texture is owned by a gum tree, because it is not possible to make the texture on the tree I made, will make it too complex, I have put 2 different trees, according to the image Australian Gum (Eucalypt) Tree.
#44 Lets stick with number 44, we think it has good potential (the other designs are a bit 'ying & yang' and we dont really want to go there, we probably wont make too much more comment on #26 as we like your latest design and the ranked 1 design very equally.). Thanks for your work so far, we like it very much but now will make more personal design changes to increase chances of getting to where we want the image to be. This we will do to all the ranked designs. We have slightly extended the contest due to weekend coming up.
#44 design We really like the colours Options to try are: can you please remove the 'clouds' and replace with a group of birds flying towards the trees. Also see what you can do by adding a small kangaroo or Bettong maybe as a sillouette in amongst the grasses in the foreground of this design. This is just a few ideas to 'possibly' better an already excellent image. Try switching the trees around, larger tree in middle, this may rebalance the image but it may also muck it up, probably worth a try. Thanks for taking the time to submit designs. regards Peter
Hi... Thanks for the feedback,your input and your suggestion.
In this new design, I try to describe the extent of grasslands, that's why I put the tree on the left, and giving more space in the right areas. eliminate clouds and replace it with a set of flying birds, is a good idea, and adding kangoro can add atmosphere that feels spacious, in some of these new designs, I provide some alternative choices of new composition, in placing the animal you want, but for me, it seems to have character kangoro more appropriate, in describing the extent of grasslands, I put kangoro a leaping from a distance, and a group of birds flying above it, toward the trees. There is the impression of freedom in a very wide area.
That's the kind of imagination I felt, when I see and study the data that you include in the file. PDF, but you better know the environment there, and I leave it all back to you,
advice and input from you, I will wait
thanks Peter, had spent time in reading my thoughts
#47, #48, #49, Thankyou for changing things around for us to see, this is much appreciated, but maybe try less birds and larger recognisable ones, the kangaroo on the hilltop seems to make the image cluttered, try removing it. The brown hill shape in the foreground needs to be ‘made grassy so it is not a smooth line. The Bettong is OK but I am asking my work colleagues to comment on the placement of the Bettong – we are still thinking about the Bettong in the foreground. I will comment further on this soon. Peter
#65 It is almost there! The birds are good, leave them for now.
Can you please make a slight change to the hill in the foreground. The grass layer you have drawn is ok but maybe very slightly thicker in silhouette. Along this whole line between the brown hill and the green hill the green hill needs to be a slightly roughened line and not smooth, dont overdo the roughened line here though. If you think it does not look good leave it up as an option and we can see for ourselves. We are thinking that no lines in the woodlands are neat and smooth and we are just trying to take the smoothness out of the image. Our request may not work well and the smooth line might be OK, but have a go if you can.
Also the grass tussocks at the bottom of the image are a repeat of each other, can you make one or two of them different and maybe ‘slightly’ thicker, once again dont overdo this thickening. If we can get this design together and make a few changes there is good chance of a move to top ranking.
thank you still consider my design, I am glad to receive some feedback from you. I've added the thickness of the grass, and provides the outer circle, as in the very first design since the beginning of my design, I wanted to show as in "Top Three Things to Communicate through our Logo"
purpose of the outer circle is, besides representing the meaning of protection, as well as binoculars, giving the impression to remember the past and prepare for the future.
Thankyou very much for your work, it is very much appreciated. The contest was closer than what you think. We would like to purchase your image and are prepared to negotiate a price. We are not sure how to go about this process. Please email me what you think is a fair price and we can begin a settlement. My email is: peter.mills@act.gov.au
