Important note. I have about 1/2 hour to spend here then i must get the family up for church and will sadly miss the last several hours of the contest. Once I leave for church I will not be back.
Please continue to send your submissions and please do not be insulted that I'm not finishing out the contest with good communications... I can't help it. SO after about a 1/2 hour from now, there will be no stars, no emails.
Some generic feedback that will help in my absence:
* IF you are using a design element in addition to the fonts and if that element will have letters in it, please use "kdp" and please make them all lowercase!
* If you are using different fonts, please make sure they are esthetically pleasing together.
* I am fond of fonts that stand out yet have a feminine feel like a simple, straight font with little hooks off of a few letters to make it not so flat and boring.
* If you are attempting a script font, please be sure to submit with the capital K and D but also submit with kirsten dixon in all lower case. I have a very hard time with fancy fonts. Although I like them, I often hate the way K and D look as capitals
* I like lowers all run together with Kirsten in whatever color you have on the design, so feel free to try that.
Please show me all future designs on white background as well. I believe I will be changing my site to white. But it's black now so seeing that is important as well. Also show me in black on white, white on black and on a picture image. That makes all the difference in the world.
I prefer straight color to the white flush running thru the design, allthough I do tend to like the metallic wash. Seems to dress up the designs.
since we won't be talking after about 1/2 hour, please try the design in a crisp, fresh, light bright blue. I also like a dark bright lavendar and a dark bright pink.
Thanks so much for all your work! You've done a great job! Good Luck to you. It's killing me to not be able to be here for the last 9 hours! I hate missing so much of this at the end!!
Designers.. are you able to see the numbers on your submissions? I am no longer able to see them.. don't know why! So please watch for your feedback in your private message boxes. I will try to direct you to the design about which I'm speaking.
HI DESIGNERS! Since we've extended the contest for 2 more days, I thought it would be fun to open it up to you to completely take charge of the creativity. Any design, any color, any format is welcome. Let's see what happens when your creativity is turned loose! Have fun with this and lets shake it up!
DESIGNERS.. I've had some interest today in a couple of you wanting time to rework your designs so I've gone ahead and submitted the contest for a 3-day extention.
Hope this helps! Please bring your A-game.
ALSO... I will be working to eliminate all designs that are not getting a 4 or 5 rating. 4's are in the running with the hope for some adjustments. 5s I love and may still require a bit of tweaking but they are for sure the ones leading the pack.
I will provide feedback every where I possibly can!
#453 That's about as close to the perfect design element for me as I've seen. We'll need to take photography off *otherwise it means Kirsten dixon photography photography* and tweak the fonts below, but I LOVE that!
HI DESIGNERS! As we come into the home stretch please keep in mind that the winning submission will need to have a separate design element with kdp in it that I can pull for picture watermarks and corner stamping.
Also, I will need the logo in color plus the options of black on white and white on black.
Please use one of my images to show me you work on if you can. It makes such a huge difference to be able to see how it would look on a real picture!

Just a little over 1 day left designers. You've all been amazing and I really appreciate all the work you've put into this. There's some really great stuff here!
Thanks for your hard work and being so attentive to my needs. Don't stop now. We're almost there :)
#267 I like this one of yours the best. Can you please show it to me with the elements exactly as they are but in different formats? Just moving the elements around. Try the design at the beginning. Perhaps try it all inside an open box and without.
Please display without the black background on all new examples.
#281 Thanks I really like the changes. Could you please try it with the K and D in Kirsten Dixon black and the rest in purple then switch and try it opposite?
Hi DESIGNERS! You don't have to stick with just two colors, you could pick a color and use several graduated shades of that including blacks and graduated charcoals.

Love the design element at the top, could you try that with a kdp? perhaps lowercase?
Also, could you try with the Kirsten with the camera in it?

Please add some color. Purple or Teal/Turquoise

Also, could you make the photography at the bottom of #243 be the photography plus design element from #244?
Porteur du Projet
Possibly a brighter purple

Also, I love circles, but would prefer them as an accent item. I wish to use this as letterhead as well so I'd like to elongate it a bit.
Could you try some circle accents with the written name on a white background? I'd like to see it in a purple and a teal/turquoise as well.
Keep playing with this ... Thanks
Porteur du Projet
Thanks!

Do you do hand written fonts? Could we try that for the name? Just Kirsten in color.
And could we try photography longer?
