However, this piece was done specifically for publication and designed by me to work with the standard "Hampshire Life" cover layout, and I believe the logo actually ran BEHIND the gardener's head. I think the final result looked fine. -- PL</b>PLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615918982616632405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686991059820767773.post-47038632709116660572010-09-15T00:40:31.693-07:002010-09-15T00:40:31.693-07:00i agree with MikeandRaph about the fence and dista...i agree with MikeandRaph about the fence and distance emphasis.its made cooler by the dirt in front of the border.and alot cooler by how all the plants are in rows like they would be.I live in the San Juaquin Valley in CA,and on road trips its cool to look at the little family farms(that havent sold to home developers yet)and see the crops like those whizz by.<br /><br />haha it makes me want to get up off my lazy ass and plant way more more than i do.<br />(just cranberries and lemons,but lemons are easy so basically just cranberries)<br /><br />what sucks,is if this was a cover,the magazine title probably messed it up a bit.Tyr Germanichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470732208713263891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686991059820767773.post-2130276349589259782010-09-14T07:07:57.809-07:002010-09-14T07:07:57.809-07:00I couldn't even see the place in reference on ...I couldn't even see the place in reference on thge left border enhancing the image adn squinting.<br /><br />I like the design of t Nice he fence curving around and is a great emphasis on the distance as well as the food smaller as it gets further and further away from where the farmer is. It brings the picture to life and almost like the farmer is being photographed, but its in penceil instead. Nice work!mikeandraph87https://www.blogger.com/profile/03592342454303147739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686991059820767773.post-24092849472946327212010-09-13T13:38:26.909-07:002010-09-13T13:38:26.909-07:00Your cross hatching is so clean and mistake free, ...Your cross hatching is so clean and mistake free, it's quite inspiring actually. What I find most funny is the only white out marks I see are actually over in the left border area where there is no cross hatching, but you've got thousands of marks all over the page that have no touch ups (at least that I can see).Adam Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897594543447112497noreply@blogger.com
