Ok, I have a site I am working on that I just can't seem to get what the client wants... whatever that is, It is not a 'logo' it is just text on a background... I am lost... here are the details: 24 hours or LESS, need this asap winner paid via paypal Text on header is here- http://collab.designingwitheve.com/secondary/ Here is some of the instructions I have gotten in various emails about how it should look: notes in blue are my notes- the rest are hers... they make no sense.. her favorite sites are those with crappy fonts no branding, etc. so I have NO IDEA what she is going for here. The ORIGINAL site she wanted me to emulate is http://www.laxantecultural.com/ no branding at all... I like this guy's sites/branding. It's close to what I picture for me, but slightly more feminine/not so "standard" as his. I'm younger, female, global, edgier. http://www.michaelport.com/ Right now my name is probably the *least* important information on the page; it's not a title. It can be smaller and the subtitle larger. This is my friend Marcia's book: http://wanderwomanbook.com/ TOO MANY FONTS - but I like the one for the Twitter and facebook sign-up -- it's the same as the grey blog post titles there in the middle, isn't it? May be too hard with the hard edge of our photos and posts -- but it might just make it all look consistent. Not sure. (I'm not a designer.) I like the rounded fonts aesthetically - don't know if they really communicate the level of professionalism I'm going for, though.but the name of the site IS her name and it IS the domain name so it has to be on there somewhere.... Maybe something more fun for title? Maybe a soft grass green? I don't know...but first the title didn't matter and she wanted it very clean and modern.... ??? So I need the words in the header that I linked in either white or 'soft grass green' on a clear background- it will be a blue but I am having to make a bunch of different ones for her because she also had no idea on what she ACTUALLY wanted for the background either, it went from solid, to gradient, to pattern, back to gradient, and so on... Professional and modern is key- HAS to be clean and modern, and professional- you know- because the site she 'loves' and wants me to copy is so darn professional lol Font's and layout will be key here I guess, I don't know what else to try to make her happy... looking forward to seeing some of your ideas- and if you have ideas for a new 'blue' background I would be happy to throw in a bonus! I need help guys, I am suppost to get her a few options by tomorrow mid morning so I am going crazy here... thanks!
I honestly think it looks good the way it is but people can be fussy can't they, good luck with the site. I've put these on backgrounds just so you can see the white / soft green text. Will remove them and send you the transparent versions if you like any, just clarifying... Also from what you posted above, it seems she wants her name to be slightly smaller than the text under it, so... ^^ the same in "soft green" color. and the background - http://i33.tinypic.com/lhdo1.png
thanks yall, presenting the concepts to her today. hopefully something will catch her eye- will let you know what she says!
