@dwalbert appreciate it :-)
@dwalbert appreciate it :-)
@dwalbert beautiful! Also, perfection is overrated.
@dwalbert oh yeah, the human tripod!
@dwalbert I have a small photobox that I've used in the past but ended up disliking those results too. Had cloudy conditions when doing the photos and videos earlier, and experimented with angles and exposure and such...think I hit a pretty accurate spot, accurate enough at least. What type of setup do you have?
@dwalbert always amazing at just how much time this part of the process takes, and just how tough it is to take photos and videos that don't distort the actual colors. That said, it is fun to get to do this, and then to share it out with folks :-)
@Miraz Appreciated :-) Doing my best!
@gregmoore I appreciate the encouragement. I do need to figure out how to get breaks that are done in a positive light. Right now I've pulled away a bit but mostly due to a negative interaction.
@gregmoore vast!
@kitt thank you, I appreciate it.
@jabel appreciated.
@odd Yep, very light and easy. Clean as far as language, adult humor/situations, violence, etc which make it easy to watch with Mozzie (11yro). Love the adventure aspect of them :-)
@odd all good, I appreciate it! No situation per se, that I’m aware of at least, just hit me and lingered…had some bourbon and that seemed to calm the nerves for now.
@ningkantida also, if email is easier or more appropriate at this point: aaron@amaiken.com
@ningkantida 'The' is not necessary for this one as it is just "Strathmere Leather". Of the concepts, I do like the clean lines of #1 as a wordmark and #3 for the initials. Looks like both of those ideas include stitching as a detail?
@ningkantida Hey now, awesome! I'm good with the approach of focusing more on the craftsmanship than luxury, especially since my aesthetic is quite understated. Impressive that you've already put so much time into the concepts! Will give this some thought today as to which design approach I am drawn to the most...I do like the simplicity of initials only...but let me think about a bit more today :-)
@ningkantida Thank you and thank you! It was a very enjoyable site and story to build. I hope it resonates with folks.
I have corrected the link in the footer to point to your Letting with Ning website - and while there I noticed the writeup you did of the Ocean Front logo, love that!
Yes, for Strathmere Leather I was going to do a 'S' in the font that I'm using for the headings on that site, maybe using the color of the footer as the background, and then a diamond shape border using the color of the text...just never got to it :-) feel free to riff on that if you are interested in doing so. I certainly prefer to use a handmade design like yours as opposed to the computer generated look that mine would have.
@odd smart!
@Miraz yup, all the eggs in one basket.
@V_ ah, exciting! enjoy your holiday!
@Annie only my toes still exist in the IT world. what's happening out there?
@jsonbecker sounds nice!
@V_ good deal :-)
@ningkantida in the process to wrapping up the site shortly...hopefully tonight but maybe tomorrow, will see how much longer I can keep chipping away :-) I have your about page linked in the footer of the site as credit for the logo. Let me know if there is another page you'd like me to link to instead.
@maique been there. the brain spinning in circles to keep you awake. hope you can catch a few 💤
@V_ oh man, 30 by 500, blast from the past! hopefully these are good vibes :-) I remember 30 by 500 and Amy Hoy from way back. Thanks for giving it a read!
