Thank you for the nice comment - I actually was thinking I want to do a series of cities (like in 5 years when I have time - haha!), but I just don't feel like it's there yet. I think I need to step away from the computer for awhile ;) Loving your submissions - you have such artistic and painterly work! LOVE

Rebecca, I think your advice was spot on. I changed the font to Cyclone and took your suggestions. Thanks so very much! Hope this is better now. Chris http://www.minted.com/design-rating/87895

Rebecca, I really appreciate the feedback on my "dance with me" design. I had really been struggling with the typography. I made some changes. Let me know if you think I am on the right track. Many thanks for your good eye and the time you took. Chris http://www.minted.com/design-rating/87872

sorry, rebecca - I wasn't sure if you were drawing something with the string, but if felt like it was laying on the balloon and usually you tie a string around a balloon. I usually don't make much sense by this time of the day!

The crazy thing is that I wasn't TRYING to figure it out. I was just voting, and when I saw it, I knew :) The only reason it stood out was because when I saw the new design, I thought that it didn't really fit in with the new "suggestions" they gave us last week when they extended the challenge. Does that make sense??

Love your design, Rebecca! If it doesn't make it, I think my comments may help it elsewhere. I deleted them, though, so no one is swayed by them (and since you've seen it, but can't make any changes anyway). Good luck!!!

Thanks so much for your feedback Rebecca! This is one of those designs that i saw perfectly in my head, but just can't seem to nail it down right. grr! I posted a version underneath that allows a company to customize the name, if you have a sec (no rush), could you let me know what you prefer? much obliged!! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/86385 L

i hate that you can't edit comments on the designer pages! my faves are original but with blue or grey banner or current posted with original clouds. Current clouds are nice too but I feel like original are more whimsical/artistic. :)

Rebecca! I just noticed that you had a "best year ever" design and I just submitted one (obliviously). :-/ Let me know what you think... although I'll probably just delete mine either way.

Rebecca, ha, ha, ha, ha, thanks for sharing that little family memory. Yes, I remember so well! And the little jelly jar glass of wine that was downed after the meal. I think parents today would be appalled, but we just thought it was a way of life. Miss that! Good luck with all your submissions in the challenge!

You're welcome! It's too bad you didn't have time to make all the changes you wanted to. But I thought the changes you made definitely helped! Don't feel bad if you don't always take people's suggestions..people give you their opinion to help out, but that doesn't mean they're always right. You can take or leave their suggestions as you like! Good luck in the challenge!

Thank you so much for your helpful comments on my "Mommy Ink" design...I never had time to act on them and feel like it's not finished, so I'm pulling the design. Maybe I can improve it and use it for another challenge. Thanks for your help!

Haha. I truly agree about the warm, fuzzy and odd feeling. Are you able to send me the link? Send me the one of yours too! I haven't jumped on Pinterest as yet. I'm a little late plus I'm worried I'd get too distracted being there. I hear it just sucks you in. ;)

Hey Rebecca! I just wanted to say 'Welcome to the Community'! I saw your post in the forum and totally related to how you feel about calling yourself a designer and feeling overwhelmed about where to start. I always think of Architects as designers already. You had a heads up above those that come into design from completely unrelated fields - so I say, embrace it! If you feel like a designer, than you are a designer! If you're passionate about design - which it definitely sounds like you are - then you're a designer!! Your work already has such a unique feel to it - I'm excited to see what you do next! My only advice is to keep submitting...this community has helped me grow tenfold. And read design blogs - tons of inspiration and learning potential there. I agree typography is one of the most important aspects of a design - read up online and just pay attention to the little details of successful designs... you'll learn a lot fast. Other than that, best of luck and welcome to the community!!! xo Hailey
