$20 Contest / Design a simple postcard / payment via paypal

No gradient = easier to read (hopefully)
I also tried to space it out a little more:



And the number circles:

 

watari: thanks for entering this. It's a pleasant entry but there are a couple of negatives: first, I feel that it's more orange than red (at least on my screen). I like the first one better. I think it would look better if the whole background was plain red with the white text, and the only white part was that bottom right corner with the logo on it just like you did it.

vo6: thanks for participating. Your entry looks good but it's not outstanding. If yours was the only entry I would be happy to work with it by requesting some small changes and I would have been able to use it. It's only because I have better entries that I will have to say no to yours.

pzn: certainly an improvement and it is easier to read. But just like I was mentioning above I feel like there are other stronger entries.

 

frozenice: welcome to dp and thanks for the entry. I prefer something with more of a white/red contrast. I feel that because of the way you placed the s in the background, this makes it a little hard to read.

 

I tryed to spice it up a bit:

 

thanks for welcoming me . I modify my entry.

 

hi there very nice CH!

I might give this a try... =)

 

Vo6: this new one is definitely an improvement. I absolutely love the idea of placing that white shadow of someone exercising. It makes so much sense to have it on the card as it relates to a fitness club. The rest of the design though, I am not so sure. I just feel it's a little too crowded and needs to be neater and more stylish if I was to choose it.

frozenice: it is definitely easier to read now. I get the feeling though that you tried a little too hard. I think that a flat bold font without effects would have looked better. Please don't misunderstand me: I am NOT requesting changes, I am simply providing feedback. This is a contest and I must say at the moment there are other stronger entries that I am considering. I must say though, the s in the background now looks also better.

RNHalawi: thanks for considering this. You know you cost me some bruises from my wife. I wonder what she will do to me this time if you enter this and I won't choose your design (again). Actually I am too terrified to even think what would happen. I am sure your entry will be a great one.

 

No problem Julian, have a bit of time waiting for the footy to start so just gonna fire up these revisions and then that's me done here.







Daveyyyyyy.

 

Sorry Davey. The only part I like in these cards is the logo. I don't just like it because I love my logo but I like the red and white contrast which seems to only be evident in the logo section (white on red). The fonts you used for the text (except for the logo) don't do it for me. I prefer mainly wider/bolder fonts. I appreciate the entries but this time I must say there are others I am considering more.

 

No problem!

Good luck everyone.

 

update entry.

 

Sorry watari but I can't see the image. Maybe you haven't uploaded it properly or maybe there's something wrong at my end

Now I can see it. Great effort. Thanks watari. It looks great and it definitely has a chance even though there are still a couple more I am considering.

 

sorry about that. i am already fix the image. thanks.

 

thanks! yeah mate! here it is..

 

@ RNHalawi, thanks for entering this. It is a pleasant entry but it looks a little imbalanced to me. I appreciate the image from my previous contest and it looked good on that banner that cost me the bruises, but I don't think it matches this time. I have seen your other work and you're a very talented dude, but I think this entry is not one of your strong works. I just want to say again, I really appreciate your entry in my third contest.

 

thanks for the reply julian! here is another try..

 

RNHalawi, I'm the one that should be thanking you man, especially since you did not win in my other contests and yet you also entered this one. I have posted an image above which I think is "well balanced" text wise (at least in my opinion). I don't like the background in the image above but I like the balance of the text. Well placed and easy to read even though he's missing some of the text I requested.

Your new submission is a better one but still looks imbalanced to me because of the size of the text and the space between the edges. It's too close to the edges and to be fully honest I still prefer a couple of other entries especially the one above (text wise only), watari's one and willhaynes one #31.

 

Feedback Appreciated. Maybe doesnt look too proffesional for you.

 

xuryaX: thanks for giving this a try. The thing is I requested this to be in a landscape format. Regarding feedback I also preferred a white and red theme and yours also has some orange colours as well as burgundy. The fonts are also not my type. I prefer something wider/bolder similar to what RNHalawi and sean-pollock used. You're right, it does not look professional enough for me Especially since I have to compare it with the work of RNHalawi, sean, willhaynes and the rest of the gang.
