Ok, I'm in, but one question, what other colours will be included on the website?

antmay · 06-21-2009, 09:47 PM

Hi Ookie,
I'm thinking to use black as the main background color. Other color could include light green, light gray and even light yellow.

Thanks,
Anthony

steadler · 06-22-2009, 03:19 AM

i noticed you said please use photoshop for this project, is there a reason why as i like to use illustrator mainly.

either way i will be entering lol.

antmay · 06-22-2009, 06:53 AM

Hi steadler,
The only reason is because I have photohop and I can make minor changes to it. I don't have illustrator so it will be harder for me to make those small changes.

Thanks,
Anthony

steadler · 06-22-2009, 07:44 AM

ok sir no problem, expect a design from me later today.

umxca · 06-22-2009, 10:24 AM

hi anthony here's my first idea...everything is layered in PS so photo etc. can be changed. if you like this direction I will continue editing...thx

antmay · 06-22-2009, 10:33 AM

Hi umxca,
Thanks for your entry.
Your design concept did not have the wow effect. Mainly its too dull. The jizaw pattern is not very pleasing. I would prefer your design to be based on the word "WeekendFotography" vertically with some clever artistry ( special fonts? or objects?)
For example, the letter "O" could be the camera's lens.......

I apologise if I have not given enough for you to go on but I hope you kinda know what I'm after.

Thanks,
Anthony

umxca · 06-22-2009, 10:38 AM

thx for the quick FB...I will look at another concept.
PS. the image is actually a photo (older) as apposed to a jigsaw effect...thx

antmay · 06-22-2009, 11:19 AM

umxca,
I'm looking for special text efects .....I'm searching through the web now for some inspiration and examples...stay tuned

Hey Antmay, here's my idea.

Everything was created (by me) in photoshop.

Awaiting your feedback!

steadler · 06-22-2009, 01:54 PM

nice j-man

J-MAN · 06-22-2009, 01:55 PM

antmay · 06-22-2009, 02:33 PM

Hi J-Man,
Thanks for your entry.
This is a nice clean one. Overall design and color go well together. I like the film strip. The only thing I would like you to change is the top horizontal wordings. The top design and the color does not flow well with the rest of your theme.

Keep it coming, guys

Thanks,
Anthony

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Hi Guy,
Small change to the width, it should be 150 px. The height remains the same as 640px.

J-MAN · 06-23-2009, 08:54 AM

Revised:

antmay · 06-23-2009, 10:46 AM

J-Man,
I still like your original design better...On the original design, can you just take out the sparkle on the horizontal wordings.

Thanks,
Anthony

J-MAN · 06-23-2009, 11:05 AM

Like This?

antmay · 06-23-2009, 11:15 AM

Hi J-Man,
Yes thats good. 2 more comments. Can you change the color of the horizontal wording? It doesnt sit right with the rest.
Also, change the font on the horizontal wording as well. The "T" between the 2 "O" can hardly be seen.

Other than this, its all good

Thanks,
Anthony

crs,
The outer design looks interesting. I'm not sure about the center part. Its drawing attention to nothing. The bottom wording in terms of color and font is not a fit to your theme.

Its a good idea if you can expend the center part of the design. Please show me more...

Thanks,
Anthony

J-MAN · 06-23-2009, 12:11 PM

Hey Antmay, thanks for the continuous and prompt feedback!

Is this better? If so, which one do you prefer?

If there is anything else you see that you want changed, just let me know!

antmay · 06-23-2009, 12:15 PM

Hi J-Man,
Its so much better now. I prefer the left one better. Thanks for your prompt changes.

J-MAN · 06-23-2009, 12:26 PM

Your welcome! Like I said, if there is anything else you notice that you would like to have changed, just let me know!

Thanks

steadler · 06-23-2009, 01:21 PM
