My shop name and banner...

I have just finished my first draft of the banner artwork for my esty store. It's within the required dimensions so I was a little bummed that I couldn't make my retro gal stand out more. If you click on the image, you might see that I put a halftone dot on her, much like the comic books but it's just lost in the banner. Now, I'm thinking I'll have to start a blog with my shop name and larger version of my 'banner' and a link to my store. More work to do. This just better pay off but even so, what a great exercise. 

Whatcha think? My vintage gal came from a magazine I purchased. A 1958 Rawleigh's Good Health Guide / Almanac and Cook Book.

  2. Whoo hoo! Thanks, Johanna. It was the first name that popped in my head months ago but other opinions/thoughts took me off course and then I just got frustrated and stuck to my original thoughts. It's more me and as I appreciated all the input, in my head I kept gravitating back to this. It just needed the artwork.

  4. Thanks, Kim!

    I keep thinking of items to add to my 'store'. I was going to throw out a 1990 Country Cross-Stitch book titled "An American Sampler". There are some nice patterns in there!

  5. Yeah, i think this is more "you" and more in keeping with the sorts of items you'll be selling judging by photos in previous posts. I like how her hands are gracefully pointing to the store name! Now you're getting somewhere!

  7. Thank you! I'm currently working setting up the artwork for my blog. Hopefully, a method for directing traffic to my 'store'.
