Default Calendar Design thoughts
Hey - I'm new here so I've edited this first Post. I'm designing a series of calendars for 2008 and would like some feedback.
A few people have already had a look, and by the standards of the artwork on this forum, I'm definitely in the right place for quality advice.

Latest image here: Tips or ideas welcome. Good points have already been made by DannyNoSleeves and Toon, and I'm taking those onboard.

I'm a one man show with no experience other than sitting on my ass for months so ANY criticism would be appreciated.

Cheers.

It's not really big enough to view if you use...

TinyPic - Share The Experience!™ or

Servimg.com - Free image hosting service

You'll be able to link to larger versions.

They're good sketches the only thing I would say is the repeated text in the background should be screened a little more, it's a bit too bold at the moment

New version here:

Looking for some help with a Logo - I have to place an image within the letter I. The image is a woman standing. Without going into details, I'm stumped, so if anyone has any ideas, bring it on!

Again, any feedback is welcome.

I'm going around the posts now to look as some of your stuff, already lovin' the site..

Leigh.

The fact that the graphics are soooo sharp and the sketches are not bothers me. If it were me, Id play around with some designs that match the drawins. Some high contrasty stuff, different brushes, etc.

But hey, what do I know?

Keep up the good work!

er....I don't understand...is that a compliment of sorts?

BTW - I hate spammers, and I'm far too honest for my own good, so everyone on this forum is very safe.
