About Jill Means

Became a designer at the age of 5 when my mom commissioned me to draw a banana tree for her. A few years later I graduated from Brigham Young University in Graphic Design. Currently obsessed with typography, natural light photography, and simplicity in design and life. My husband, Scott and I have 5 children ages 7, 11, 13, 15, 16 and live in Lodi, California.

Hello Jill! Thank you so much for your feedback. I totally agree the ribbon should add a pop of color so I tested both suggestions and the blue option ended up great! Please let me know what you think now: http://www.minted.com/design-rating/88407 I have also made the decoration flags for it so if you want to take a look, here it is: http://www.minted.com/design-rating/88059 Best, Tais

Thanks Jill! I agree too on the printer thing. Those who want to print from home are crazy! I spent 7 hours on printing 350 wedding invites (via Etsy and printed at home to save a buck) and couldn't stand up straight for two days! Swore I'd never print from home again. I find if you have a good relationship with a printer, quality will be good so you can drop ship. If something goes wrong with order, the printer will usually redo at no cost (assuming it was their error). Thanks again and love your work!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my Runneth Over design - I appreciate it! I adjusted the tracking a little - hopefully the spacing looks better, now!

Thanks Jill, for your note :) You had a great designer name from the start, whereas I wasn't sure what to go by?! :) I always love your work, it's consistently great!

Aw shucks! Thank you for the support! I agree, I think we both had some good designs that could have held their own in the final cut...in fact there were really a large number of designs from a bunch of designers that I was sad to see didn't make it through the cut :( I'm honored to have my one though! Best of luck to you!!!

re: ampersand: thank you Jill for your honesty - I really do appreciate it!! Sometimes I like to try things that are different, often late at night, and wind up things that are a little out there LOL! I think I will toss that one :)

Hi Jill - you were right about the lens flare - I decided to drop it afterall! It doesn't look as good when printed. Also, I enlarged the names. Thanks for your help!! Your entries for this challenge are great, as usual :)

re: Concert Flyer: Thank you for your help Jill! You are right about some of the subtleties of images being lost when going from web to print. I printed it out to see and it actually looks OK. I'm still debating whether or not to remove the lens flare - thanks again!!
