Looking for Design Feedback - Cherry Hills Card Room (1 Viewer)

[Balanar]

First of all, amazed you're doing these with Powerpoint!

I started off loving the cash set and hating the tourney set but the evening sky has made it my favourite currently.

As for the cash set, the coloured ring seems a bit "harsh" compared to the gentle fade of the colour in rest of the chip. Would a similar fade, colour matched to the chip, work instead of a solid ring? Just my 2c.

Overall fantastic so far!

Agreed. My eye is drawn to the ring. Gentle fade looks much better, IMO.

 

[BSteck]

Thanks for the extra ideas....

Cash: keep the branch, don't color match the background, color match the outer ring, but a little softer. Can you also have a gradient on the blue background, maybe a morning light?

There's a slight light blue gradient on the cash chip sky already. But maybe it's a bit too subtle if you're not picking it up. I'll play around with emphasizing it a bit more - thanks.

Will you be making a sample set for purchase?

Well... these will be labels over existing chips - not a CPC custom set. I suppose I could send you some extra labels if you'd like...

Also, where's the custom dealer button?

Helz yes there will be a dealer button! (eventually)

I think it would look good to curve the words on the label to follow the edge of the chip.

Nice idea...

So here's the version with just a color matched fade (no rim)

and compared to the original with the colored rim

Top row looks nice, still has depth/shading but not as harsh. (y) :thumbsup:

lock it up and it isn't even close

Yah... I tried a couple of versions like that.

The problem is that the font I'm using (which I really love) is so ornate that when I curved the text it got kinda lost.

Much better IMO.

IMO too... Thanks @Balanar!

And for fun here's a comparison of what I started the thread with on the left with the latest improved iteration on the right. Way better! Thanks PCF!

 

[BSteck]

Continuing to iterate....

PowerPoint served its purpose for the proof of concept but it had reached the limit of what it can do elegantly. So I've moved the building over to Inkscape where I can really fine-tune the placements and colors. Export quality is also much better out of Inkscape. So here's the latest

I've added some background mountains and reflection. I'm not sure if they're going to stay or not as I can’t decide if the added complexity makes the label more interesting or just too busy. But hey... when you live in Colorado you have to try and get a mountain on the label somewhere.

 

[Burke]

I like the idea, but it is probably too busy imo

 

[allforcharity]

I like the idea. I don't think it's too busy at all. It still looks very neat and clean.

 

[Trihonda]

Awesome concept and design. I’m late to the party. I love the inlays thus far, but the only thing nagging at me is the .25 and $1 coming from a similar color family (both essentially varieties of blue). If it were me, I’d look to a different frac, but if you’re sold on the blurple, and it doesn’t tilt you (and guessing it doesn’t), then go for it.

Hadn’t really considered that, but doesn’t tilt me at all. Maybe I’m just seeing what I want to see ... to me they’re more ‘urple’ than ‘blu’.

 

[BSteck]

Thanks everyone for the feedback - the concept is now a reality!

That's legit. Very well done.

Fantastic set!
Gorgeous!

And the tourney set is complete! Again - thanks to all who contributed during the design process! And of course thanks to @Gear for the excellent label work.
