Just trying to get the long hairstyle to pop...can we add a little more life by adding a bit more body and having some strands blowing around her?

Great Blueblu...let's try #61 with the gold as well.

Let's take this one and make it all silver. Just trying to see whether I like it in all solid or two-tone. Thanks!

Blueblu, can we also re-do one in all silver, just like this one?
Also, let's try one with a more flowing, modern long hairstyle.
Thanks!

Can we also try one with the lettering in a warm gold?

Can we scale her down a little and just move her to the center? I'm really liking the center idea, but since she is only showing her torso, her arms won't work in that position. Feel free to play around with it!

Can we give the bottom hem of the gown a clean edge, a gold bangle on her left arm? Also, let's try doing that in all silver as well as the two-tone gold. You've given me food for thought!

Nice idea to place the silhouette in the center! Can you change the font to the art deco font like the others? I also like the shaded metal effect on the lettering as well as one the silhouette itself.

Sorry, just noticed in the magnified version that her mouth is actually open and smiling a little. If we could do a closed mouth, that would be great.

Also, let's try the left hand just propped on to the bottom part of the frame so that they're connected.
12 janvier 2011 15:13 SavoirLuxe Porteur du Projet
#29:
I like the darker dimensional shading of the dress and neckline, and the darker shading on the lettering, better in how it looked in #25, but I love #29 for everything else. Also, just to see what it looks like, can we then try this with a long, more modern hairstyle, similar to #23?

I would also like to see a draft with a longer, more modern hairstyle (partly flowing out behind her). I'm trying to decide whether I should have a contrast from the art deco font. Thanks!

Let's get rid of the hat and just have the hair showing (keeping the 1920's waved bob).
The left arm looks lost because you can't see the hand. Let's try resting it on the bottom part of the frame.

Love the font and metal effect. Instead of the floral and swirl motif though, how about something more architectural? I'm thinking Chrysler building inspired, or somewhat along those lines.

Can we change the pink to more of a metal gray? I'd like to keep it as neutral as possible.

#16:
I'm still finding the bottom of her gown to be distracting (maybe because it's not in keeping with the architectural feel of art deco). Let's try just a clean edge at the bottom. And to give her head a little something, but not overwhelmingly so, how about a 1920's style wavy bob? Getting closer though!

#23:
I love the simplicity of the woman's silhouette -- mysterious and shaded to give it dimension. Can we bring in the back leg a little closer however? I'd like her to have a more natural look, but I do like how she is in movement. Also, I would like the business name box to be as simple as possible, with the emphasis placed on the actual business name. I have a link available in my previous comments of the type of font I want (art deco, shaded to look like metal, one word spacing with the "S" and "L" in a larger size). Also, no design on top of the box. If there is any additional detail, let's keep it to the frame itself.

#13: Hi, Vikky. I really like the art deco inspired design. Can we use a more art deco font though, something more structured like in the link below:
http://esdev.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/plaza-art-deco-font-hd.png
The emphasis you put on the "S" and "L" is perfect. I'd like to keep the color palette so that it reflects my auctions. Here's a link below:

#12: Love the new scarf (simple, clean drape, very nice). The lighter shading of the gown is also much preferred over the darker predecessors -- great idea.
Can we remove the fan and just have her hand free? Also, I am happy with the simplicity of her head silhouette, but without the feathers coming off from it.
Can we create more of a architectural "fan" effect at the bottom of her gown? I can't help but look at the bottom and think of Dr. Seuss. ;-)

#7: Yes, exactly what I had in mind -- I love her hair and hat. :-) Can we make the cap a little darker? The white is just a little too bright.
Also, can we prop her hand and/or hand on the box somehow? Even if it winds up at head level, since I would love to make the box far larger (bringing the top of the box up to her shoulder or neckline), and adjusting the size of the font accordingly. A large emphasis needs to be placed on the business name, with the woman more on an equal, or even slightly lesser, level.
Also, the lines in the dress are still a little too busy. Can you take away the lines in the sleeves -- I think this is what is throwing me off -- and just bring in some light art deco architectural line influence in the bodice/waist area.
The link below is more in keeping with the art deco style font I like:

Great job!

I came across the link above and loved the art deco influenced simplicity of this. An air of mystery, not giving away too much... #2: I love how you did the font and the "frame" in your 2nd draft! SavoirLuxe can be even larger, with a larger emphasis on the "S" and "L". I would really like to see the woman with a more architectural, harder edge. Short hair, or an art deco era cap (close to the head). The size scale of the sign to the woman is great! In fact the letters can be even larger, taking up most of the frame. #3: Wow, beautiful work! I would love to see her much simpler (no accessories, simpler lines, short hair or a art deco era cap close to the head, no facial features). I love how you zoomed in on her torso -- it balances out the sign very nicely. SavoirLuxe (one word with a larger size emphasis on the "S" and "L") can be even larger. I would love that to be the first thing that catches the eye.
Hello, everyone,
This may help...here is another link to one of my actual eBay auctions. While I will eventually tweak my auction format one day, the overall feel will remain the same (color pallette, simplicity, clean lines, architectural feel, etc.):
