Proof for "sweetpea boutique" - Part III

Maggie liked the last sample but wanted the vines a bit more spread out, and a lot less vines. This sample is my personal favorite. :)

Let me know what you think!

Hyena Cart Congo Mockups for "Avant-Garde"

I'm working on a wonderful new Congo with Meaghan and April. They're looking for a design that incorporates pictures taken by April's father-in-law, with a description on the home page about the artisans of the Pacific Northwest (which is where their Congo will be focused).

The pictures provided are just beautiful! I think the hardest part will be deciding which ones to use. :)

Here are a few rough mock-ups to get an idea of which direction Meaghan and April would like to go with the design. (Click on the image to view the larger version)

Proof for "sweetpea boutique" - Part II

Maggie loved the brighter background, but wanted the vines to be a bit more flowery and dainty. I believe this new background meets both requests, but it might be too busy. Let me know what you think. :)

JoyfulRose New Design Contest!

Welcome to the JoyfulRose new design contest!!!

In the past few months JoyfulRose has seen a lot of growth in our graphics design area. To focus more on that aspect of my business I thought my shop could use a layout more tailored towards design.

Free Contest!!!

Please take a look at my new Hyena Cart design and let me know what you think!

* Is there anything you'd like to see different in the layout?
* Is the site easy to navigate?
* Are the listings clear? (I wanted to include as many details as possible for my customers, but I'm thinking some of the listings are a bit too wordy!)
* Do you like the way products are listed in a table rather than categories?
* Any other suggestions for improvement?
* Are there any other graphic design products you'd like added?

Please post your comments to this thread and on May 14th I'll use a random number generator to choose a comment number. The person who posted that comment may choose from the following prizes:

* Animated Banner - you choose size, let me know what you'd like it to say and I'll create it! (up to 8 frames)
* Twitter Design - email the images you'd like me to use and I'll design your custom Twitter for you! (useful for both business and personal Twitter accounts!)
* Business Card Design - email the images and text you'd like included and I'll create a unique design for you!

Business Card designs for "Creative Mamas" congo

I created three different business card designs to match our new congo design. I think they turned out rather nicely! I really enjoy working on so many different types of graphics projects. :)

Samples for "Sweet Retreat" congo - Part III

Final Samples for "Sweet Retreat" congo. :) Heather asked for a flowered background to match the top two headers. The top background is larger than the second; both can be scaled smaller and the background color changed.

She also sent a final image to test out for the header. I tried stretching the image to fill the whole header and it was very pixelated. Then I tried copying part of the image and pasting it several times to create a continuing background, but it looked like a kaleidoscope - lol! Then I thought it might look nice as a "scrapbook"-type header and that seemed to work perfectly.

Otter Babies Samples Take 2 :)

This time with different headers!

Sample 1: Debby's header

Sample 2: same as above, but reduced to 750 pixels wide to better accommodate regular-sized monitors.

Sample 3: different font

Sample 4: different font

Sample 5: same font as above; taller clothesline background

Samples for It's A Snap!

Teresa wanted a design that incorporated "burgundy, dark reds, colors that go well with that, maybe disco dots or a sewing machine".

I had a lot of fun finding retro colors that matched her description and can't decide which of the below designs I like better! Good luck picking one Teresa. :)
