Okay, here is the lesson I learned yesterday....when you have tried something new and are really excited about it and are hoping for a lot of feedback....DO NOT post in the middle of the Grande Finale of CIJ!!! :D :D
Here is a post I made in the general Fandango thread yesterday...If you get a chance, I would love to get your feed back. I also thought it would be fun to 'help' the designers with ideas of items we would all love to see that would help us to make freestyle layout. So, bring on the ideas...I'm sure the designers would love to see what you think!!
Copy of post:
Some of you know I was in Las Vegas this past week...not my most favorite place! (As I was telling a friend, I don't gamble, drink or smoke and don't really have the budget to shop or spend $100 to see a show...I also get kind of crabby in the heat!!) Anyway, while I was there I started noticing all the incredible grapic design work that is to be seen there...in the billboards (well...at least the ones that I wasn't telling my boys to avert their eyes from ), the lines on the buildings, building motifs, the tile work, magazine menus, show ads...you name it...there was inspiration EVERYWHERE! (I know, I'm hopelessly addicted!!) And a lot of what I saw I thought would fit in with the freestyle things we have been playing with here in the Fandango....lots of mixed media, playing with textures, organic lines, open space...that kind of 'stuff.'
So...inspired, I thought I would try my hand at creating some freestyle inspired backgrounds that incorporate the look and feel of a freestyle layout. Here are the first two I came up with:
Blue Fandango Background (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=118079&cat=500&ppuser=1383)
Layout using Blue Fandango Background (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=118078&cat=500&ppuser=1383)
Lavender/Rose Fandango Background (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=118094&cat=500&ppuser=1383)
Layout using Lavendar Background (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=118095&cat=500&ppuser=1383)
Let me know what you think.
