Hi Dan, thank you for the invitation and I have not forgotten your contest. I took my time with this one as I do all contests..simply I put a lot of thought in to each design...your is no different. "Breathing Room" what does that mean...
This is an update to #193..I've used 2 colours rather than the gradient off gold...this is cost effective for print and other uses..while graidents look great on screen and printed on gloss stock...matte finish has a more warm and earthy feel than high gloss finishes.
If you would like to see additional colour combinations please let me know
Sorry, you asked what breathing room means. Are you familiar with the saying "I just need a little breathing room". We attempted to play on that idea with our space offering the quiet and space that people need.
Your work is simple, beautiful, and streamlined. I really like how you mixed upper and lower case on # 206. I hadn't seen it done before and it not only separates the word the and groups together breathing room well but then the change of color then further subdivides breathing and room. Quite genius.
The symbol on #206 is not quite right. I wish I could tell you more. It is indeed abstract, yet, looks rather distinctly like a birds wing to us. It is really close but not quite hitting it.
We see why you are so highly ranked. Thank you for your submissions.
