Marquee Artwork feedback
« on: July 14, 2006, 07:58:47 pm »
Still needs some cleaning up to do before I bring it to get printed but It looks pretty good so far i think. It matches my CP and front end layout which I included in the links below.

I like the design, but the brightest reds and most of the blue is illegal.

how the heck do you guys do that?

I was going to say it's impossible to teach you, you should just hire me to do it for you...  >:D

But seriously, it helps to have an expensive image editing tool like Photoshop and a moderate knowledge of how to use it. And in this particular case, finding some comic book art you really like.

You've got a nice, clean design. If I had to make any changes - and you probably don't, I'd suggest a less saturated blue for the marquee - for some reason it doesn't suit the Wolverine art at all. On the CP, it's a minor quibble, but the break in the logo allows for the border line in the background to come in and visually break it up. This could probably be fixed by putting a little background underneath the logo to hold it together.

It's okay, most of it is just artist gobledegook.  :laugh2: But seriously, I'll see if I can illustrate what I'm talking about when I get home tonight (provided that the storms forecast for tonight don't knock out the power again).

This is what your colors turn into when you convert to CMYK. Notice the details you lose in the blue.

Alrighty then, let's see that bad boy uploaded for the rest of us artistically challenged folks to use :applaud:
Excellent work.  I never was fond of red in my designs, but I love how the colours work together.  Throwing in two of my favourite Marvel characters doesn't hurt neither ;)

You don't need to convert to CMYK for marquee printing anyway, leave it in RGB. Better color sat that way anyway.
