Hi Giselle. Thank you so much for the nice comments and suggestion on my polar bear design. I scaled it down a bit...and I think it really helped the type. If you have a sec, can you see what you think? So appreciate it! x lisa http://www.minted.com/design-rating/84174

Hi Giselle! I think with holiday some ideas are bound to overlap because we are all using a limited visual vocabulary ie. snowflakes, santa, holly, etc - and looking at the other design, it's true that conceptually it is similar but stylistically it is extremely different. I really hope it works out because your design is just too cute! :)

Love the cherries you added. Your illustrations are always super cute. Really like your frames for both photos. This design is definitely a keeper. But I have to admit, I love the impact of the first layout, the large photo just grabs your attention. If you have time, how about designing a new fruit or use some of your cute flowers from your art submission. With a little color adjustment to them, you could submit that design also. Hope I helped.

Hi Giselle :) hmmm..Agree with Monica below. have you tried "save for web" under "file"? another thought might be that in these 2 places are there dots on top of each other? sometimes it will get weird on you when you are saving out in different options. try these 2 and see if it helps :) We will get it resolved!

Monica Schafer on Sep 27 2012

  • Minted Oct 25, 2010

hi Giselle, Happy to help if I can. Are you working in Illustrator? I think its the same either way. File, Save for Web then there is a little pull down menu where you can select "Maximum" and that changes quality to "100%". Have you done that?
