Hi - In my entry, I chose to use a lighthouse as it bridges both fishermen/locals and tourists. I lived in Medford/Somerville for a while and whenever family/friends came to visit and we'd go to the cape (which was pretty often - who doesn't like the cape?), they'd always want to do either a lighthouse tour or we'd drive the route ourselves. I think a lot of tourists love that about the area. That said - lighthouses were obviously built to help the fishermen/shipmen -- so it ticks that box, too. I created the image and the components to look a little worn to bring the rugged/rustic element.
If there are any changes you'd like to see, please let me know. Thanks for your time & consideration. josh
what's your house line-up? (I'm a homebrewer, so I have to ask!!) You guys brew any oyster stout??
I love how rugged and worn this feels. You have captured the emotion. Currently I've been leaning towards a lot simpler designs - but you might change my mind. What do you think about 'simplifying' this design...doing it almost like a 'sketch' with the color pallet you've chosen?
Hey thanks! I could probably take out some hatching lines and add some softer texture...that might simplify it a bit.I'll have something to look at soon. cheers josh
This was a previous idea I had, but I wasn't sure about what to put up top - simple design, but the font faces used have a vintage feel that brings the tradition/history of the town.
I was trying to get a focus in a little more on Wellfleet and thought that about doing something with their oyster notoriety. So - I have an oyster opened up with a hop inside! I tried to keep the linework minimal and in the same rugged/worn as a lot of the signs, etc. on the cape.
Hey Luke! Just wondering what you thought of the concept in #76? Is that an idea yous want me to explore? Would you want to see it more refined/"slick"? Seems like maybe you're looking that direction...
