Your designs are very unique which i exactly what i'm looking for . In entry #31, can you make the snake into a gecko or lizard so it is not threatening the cat quite so much? Also, can you try some designs using the paw with the toes facing down (south) and the big pad of the pawprint shaped as the heart( just flipping the paw in #33, 38 and 39 so that the toes point down) . I would like to see a more realistic shaped pawprint, too. Other colors would also be interesting, especially burgurdy, black, or even muted purples or reds. No greens, browns, or oranges, please. Another idea that struck me while looking at your designs was to use the S of Southpaw blended into the Snake/lizard shaped curve. I love your designs ................thank you.
Wow, you've been busy. I do not see entry # 64..........was it removed? Absolutely love the new designs with contrasting colors as in #65 & 66. I am sorry I asked to change the snake, can you put it back into 65 and 66 please, or just put legs on it to look more like a lizard.
Can you develop a more realistic looking pawprint for the paw designs (ie 34 , 33, 71 72) like the design, just think the paw is too cartoonish. Thank you ......... Your designs are fantastic..........................................................nmlfxr
I am sorry i didn't make myself clear about the realistic looking paw print. I didn't mean like one you see in the dirt, I meant the actual shape of a paw (dog). It took me a minute to figure out what you were doing in # 80, 81, and 82 with the tattered looking paw. Again, sorry I led you astray on this and wasted your time. I do appreciate your time and trying to develop what i suggest, but I don't think the tattered looking paws are as striking as your other designs. I like the concept of the profiles in the paw, but would like to see it on solid paws like you have been designing. Again, please don't be offended if i move some of your designs to non interesting, It is only to sort the designs and better let you and the other designers know what we are liking and which way to proceed. Can you try one other idea for me please?,....... The right side of the heart (the snake) is shaped like an "s". Can you exaggerate the curve and move the Southpaw word to the right of the design so the snake in the heart becomes the s of southpaw ( positioning like # 29) I know that is confusing to explain. Hope you can understand what i'm trying to say..
In either case, you can see we love your designs with the contrasting colors. Can you try one with the grey and blue contrast, (exactly like the burgundy/gray but with blue/grey. Also, could you just try a couple of different fonts for southpaw lettering, maybe something more cursive and curvy just to see how it looks with the design. Thanks so much for listening and all your work............................nmlfxr
You are a maniac at this...............you must have unbelievable energy.
I am still really liking your designs. I really prefer the burgundy shade in #79. Can you make #93 in that shade and then shade the birds heads in the burgundy as you have in # 78 please so I can see how it looks. Also, can you make #71 in the same burgundy shade as #79, please and with the dual/contrasting grey color.
I'd also like to see #29 and 72 in grey and burgundy with the bird and snake included in the heart design and the softer font as in #93. I like the bigger S and the animal health indented underneath, please. thank you for your continued persistence and efforts........................nmlfxr
You have been busy again. I like the new SPAH designs you presented, but the SPAH is a little too bold. I feel it over powers the design. I really prefer a more subtle use of the spah into the design. Otherwise it appears to compete with the Southpaw lettering. You have worked so hard and I do appreciate it. I am having some real difficulties sorting all the designs. We're looking for a not to complicated design that will transfer well to clothing, letterhead etc. Thanks again for working so hard.
One other thought, can you drop the lizard for the S in southpaw. I think I like it better without the lizard. It seems to busy with it ....................thanks.......nmlfxr
Do you want me to add background shading and lighting effects? I'm here and constantly checking my messages. Please let me know if I can do ANYTHING else! Thanks~ Kib
I am sorry I didn't get back to you before the end of the contest. Your designs were developed all along because you had been with us since the beginning. I started to get bombarded with new designers and designs late in the week and was a little overwhelmed.
The good news is that several of your designs are in the running for the winner, and many will definitely be in the shortlist. We are having a staff meeting tomorrow to try to determine a winner. Then I will notify the website. You have definitely worked your butt off for us and again it is greatly appreciated. You deserve to win on effort alone, not to mention talent.
Please hang in there and hopefully we can let you know by wednesday..............
thanks so much for your excellent work............no wonder you are ranked 16th.................
