Well, this is a sacond try, without the sharp edges (since there are no foms anymore :)).

I really like this! especially the texture you create in the splatters. it actually looks 'leavy'. the birdies gets a little lost tho. I dont know if it from the background color the splatter?



btw thanks for your helpful comments on my design!

The texture of the splatters gives a more natual feel to the overall design. I like this version!

Hey there- this is really interesting! I wonder though if there's a way to mute down the harshness of the silhouette. Right now the black takes up a lot of real estate on the page, maybe some sort of graphical embellishments/flourishes?

visually interesting, but i don't understand the point. is there a reference i'm not catching?



it may just be the loss of quality in saving as a .jpg, but a lot of edges look too pixelated.



i would appreciate your feedback on mine.

I like the concept and the use of textures. Try making the key itself a little more ornate.



What I'd like to see is a keyhole with a glimpse of a great big, grand-looking woodland landscape inside it. Or perhaps a desert landscape, or that the "key" is unlocking "life in the desert"? Just a thought.

Well, thank you all, very cool ideas there and useful critiques!

I was already thinking of putting a keyhole, but had problems with its placement...I don't know where to put it so that it doesn't look like two different drawings.

Nice picture! I think the key should be the second thing to see, not pop out immediately.

You mean try to make it look a bit more vegetal? have its shape made roughly with natural elements?

I also agree with making the key more ornate. ALso, I'd like to see the splatters just a tad bit bigger. Right now to me it feels like they're just there. ^^ Thx on the comment.

Very cleaver, me like them siluettes =)

But i'm not feeling that bakground, give the key and birds more space, maybe the bakground could use the loxer half of the design?



Check out mine

Much improved! Love the colors, I feel like it needs a lil' something extra, like it's openbing something or about to, to take it to the next level

Thank you for the comments, I'm working on it right now.

Just some thoughts - maybe it would be more key like at first glance if there was a tad more space between the tree bunches?

I feel like once you know what it is, you can't NOT see the key, but there was a comment earlier about it.



Maybe there could be another dark color other than black for the key as well?



Sort of grasping at straws for criticisms but I felt it was owed since you commented on mine. I like it as is!
