cuteevilpixie's and my exhibition is now on Facebook, which means it must be real. 21 confirmed guests so far! 27 might show up! I <3 Facebook. Thankyou so much to everyone who's planning to attend, and to dennyd for helping with the promotion.

I think your original flyer is absolutely stunning. I don't know whether it's my monitor or what, but it's not brown. It's fluid gold and gorgeous!

Yep. Same here. It doesn't look like you're taking out brown, but yellow. And losing the warmth and life.

Well, the colour rebalancing was fairly complicated. Mostly I was taking out yellows and reds in the highlights and midrange, and adding reds and blues in the lowlights. I'm glad that others like the first version, though :)

BTW, I forgot to say, I like both. It's just that I preferred the first.

However, how much I like the second seems to depend on background - I prefer it on your background than on my own.

I like both of them, and which one I picked up if i saw them both on a table would depend on my mood. Any mileage in two print runs, one of each?

libellum June 5 2007, 17:22:07 UTC

I would have said yes until I realised how much work re-doing the image at print sizes would involve. I think I'll stick at one :)

I am a blue person BUT the flyer is firey and glowy in an utterly fabulous way, and I don't think it needs messing with. Definitely golden, not brown! (of course this IS viewed on computer and printowts can surrer, but it looks GOOD)

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm pretty impressed by the professional printers I use - I used them for my wax-and-wane postcards - so hopefully the prints should be fairly accurate. And at the moment, the monitors viewing the image as gold definitely outnumber those viewing it as brown, which bodes well for gold prints :)

I definitely prefer your original. As people have already said - gold not brown.

I think you should absolutely stick to your guns on this and go with the first one you made. YOU are the artist after all and while there is room for audience comment it is you that should dictate what you produce and not us. You understand what you are driving at more than any of the rest of us.
And I think It's very pretty.
Can we come along to the opening if we don't have a facebook account?

I just came back from a particularly intense yoga class and I while in my asana the image from your flyer popped into my head and I swam around in it for a while. It was utterly beautiful.
Just thought I would share.

Oooh, how lovely! And flattering ... I'm really glad my imagery contributed to your experience :) That's about as much as I can ever ask for, really!

libellum June 5 2007, 17:24:43 UTC

Well yes, but this was more of a monitor settings question than anything else.

Of course you can come! I'm advertising it everywhere - LJ, facebook, to anyone who'll listen :)
