Hi again,
St Valentine's day is a very interesting holiday for me. Although usually I am not so happy at this day, it's a great challenge to express what I feel - my love. In these two posts I emphasize on photography - both pictures are made by me and the one express much sad feelings and the second - happyness. That's just my purpose and whether I am right or not - you'll decide.

First one:

my entry illustrates the true capacity of love. Love goes beyond all limitations and is universally felt, in Virginia and in Thailand, in Madrid and Tokyo. Love truly transcends all boundaries and breaks through tremendous barriers.

My entry is the actual card I am going to give my fiancé. I “vectorized” the image, tweaked it a lot, and added my original text. Hope you like it. (original image from istockphotos.com.)

Sorry about the lack of feedback, Valentines is a busy day for me
lemieuxster posy #8
yes, it is very minimalist, like your sense of humor

Nicholas posy #9
I love the pink, the rose, I almost feel like there is to much going on, the rose gets lost a bit, I think if you left the overlayed pattern off the rose, it would be more clear....sometimes the use of too many filters in pshop hurts the image....

Nevadabadgirl posy #10
aww, what a cute little bear, is this photoshop? Its great that you provided the link for the tutorial...the only suggestion, the text on the bears heart is hard to read(maybe a thicker font):0)

Nevadabadgirl posy #14
I love this.......the image, the text, great layout, picture use, it really does look like an actual valentine(like the ones my kids exchange)...

Kismet posy #17
Unique and different....maybe more contrast in the font color(different shade from the pink in the background)

enaescanan posy #19
Very nice font choice..is the image a butterfly with heart wings? again, some contrast in color could make your image pop....good image

Zii posy #24
nice images, very different, I like the 2nd one, but the beard stubble throws the image off(photoshop could take of quick ) I really love your thought, and concepts

mklaman posy #19
I like this, the illustration and fond go together PERFECTLY....

I will be back later with the rest of the feedback....GREAT WORK EVERYONE!!!

[Nicholas]

I love rasterbox's card!

Thanks for the feedback rinaldidesigns. I just did a quick 10 minute card lol. By the way I got the shirt in the mail today from the last contest! whoo! lol

[rasterbox]

Thanks Nicholas... And to everyone of us who participated we have done a great job!!!

KUDOS!

[Zii]

Thank you for the feedback rinaldidesigns. I needed some days to realise my projects. To tell you the truth I think that the stubble bread is sexy sometimes and this is a symbol of manhood. That's just my idea here.

adambender post #26
very neat and tidy...like it, I think the rose petals in red would pop more....good

dw design post #27
very tricky, using type only to support the theme...you pulled it of fabulously......minimalist is good, your design is balanced

rasterbox post #28
very unique, love the unique color choices, good! Did you draw all of this? Alot of work! I think this design would work as well without the teddy bears, and city scape, I really like this...good!

rasterbox post #29
did you create the clouds? Very nice! like the teddybears in this(I wonder how a non script font would look)....

dw design post #31
very creative concept, like it! Bolder colors could of really made this pop....

dw design post #33
I think the text/quote matches the images feel perfectly, but its almost too simple..maybe if you made the font more pronounced, more of a focal image?

Everyone, thank you for participating You all really did an awesome job!!! I will announce the winner in the next 24 hours(tomorrow)......stay tuned, the next community contest is in the works!

[rinaldidesigns]
