love/fia

Elin

we hope to meet you too
and you will feel suprise~~~
because~~~~Carl~~~pig~~~
~~~~~~Linn~~~~~

but the truth (secret) is everything
is my mother’s fault…

by the way, Hi Chebb, nice to meet
you! my name is Linn, not Lynn!
I can tell you my chinese name so
it’s easy for you to remember.
my chinese name is Liu Dongyun.
Liu is second tone, Dong is first
tone and yun is also second tone
according to chinese pronunciation!

Some of the spreads will probably be printed as posters as well..

But, I’m on and off about many things. ;) So, final version isn’t done. Well, has to be end of this week, but hey, that’s faaaaaaaar away! :)

Looking forward for some images when they’re done!

Will the website/logotype be on every page, or is that just for now, in the process? Maybe it shouldn’t be on all the pages - more interesting if it’s not.

((It was great meeting you and Linn - Samuel and I will try to send you some of our pictures soon… just been a little busy here since we got home))

My feeling: this is incredibly rich, and there is a sense perhaps you need to be finished with it soon. Not over-doing is important.

A chance to step away, take customer feedback, and then if necessary refine some points of what you do, could be healthy.

Anyway, I know you will recognise the stages and act accordingly to your feeling - just acknowledging as a friend.

We all know about the accomplishments and also etceteras of this working with intensity ;)

I don’t think I need to wish you good luck with this, but of course I do.

Clive

Cheers,
TheChebb!

P.S. and the SD10 of course!!

Second, I will play a little with the spread you pointed me to. I think you’re right. :)

The chocking end.. Well.. :) We’ll see what happens with that one.

Thanks for your input!

Thanks!

Regarding this picture:

How would it look like if it transfers from B&W (left) to color (right) in 4 steps?

About the chocking/shocking? end. I feel both pictures don’t work well side by side although they are great each for itself!

Not to forget Linn: She just looks great!

Good stuff!

Sigma’s SD10 is the follow-up to the company’s flawed but interesting SD9 digital SLR, which made exceptionally sharp photos in good light. The SD10 incorporates an upgraded Foveon X3 sensor, a three-layered imager with…

But now I think you would agree that colors and contrast are much better. (HAHA, it is on my PB screen.. ;)

If there is the chance, but it would speak of the jovial way of Chinese sociality, and how much and how many kinds of sophistication exist beneath this surface always, and how important that shared yet independent sociality actually is.

But I think if Sven is your brother, he actually will have no trouble at all to know a pearl, and a gem, when he meets them….

Kind regards,

Clive

Comment this moment is - I think the choker being where it was in the stack is better. I thought you really get away with it there, and the lady may have customers who would appreciate it. At the end has a symbology for you, but others won’t get or need that, and for me it makes too strong a statement which I guess she or really you won’t want.

I did have one more idea to try, something with a 3d program helping, and if anything comes of it I’ll try to send sometime today, just for your interest. We know by now how deep a design ‘problem’ (artist’s sense) a logo can be, and what you have is certainly a going solution for it. I fully agree the size reductions as you know, and their effect.

To Linn, a smile. I still will write something anyway about Scandinavians, and maybe about China. Carl can tell you my father grew up there, as I have told him, and he was strongly influenced in his character if not looking Chinese. Anyway, more spicy Yunnan cooking, and I did find your note: do not be surprised if someday I do visit, and enjoy it ;).

Now to the morning’s…..cheers to both

Clive

The word that Linn so kindly used in Chinese is “Little dog” ..

/ Carl the translator. btw, Linn is by nature a very nice girl, but sometimes she don’t see the edge. So please forgive her not so nice backside. ;)

anyways, i like the layout and design especially
the first part as they look so fresh and naturally beautiful. and i like my skin culour in your
pictures!

by the way, sven, can you speak english, otherwise i
will call you”å°?ç‹—”!

/Sven

I will for now keep the one we have, I will show her the different suggestions (or a selected bunch, I have so many now from everywhere) but my guts tells me that what I have now is better.

ie. Take a look at the logo as it gets smaller and smaller. What do you see?! You don’t see “design” first. (as you might think) you see “collamin” as the first readable word. I think that is the most important, the message gets there and it’s no real question about readability or anything like that. And it’s balanced too, even if I might consider taking away the .com

Now, back to re rest of the book.. Of the 21 spreads you see above, about half will be partly redesigned or changed a bit. I love it to see like on a web like this, gives me a very good overview for further adjustments. And if I can share something at the same time, then I’m happy.

Among the other things also…

Carl, this is really something, in my eyes anyway. Places I might comment, I then think, no, I know why he did that, and like it. Often, quite like it.

There are a lot of ‘wows’.

May it do as well as it looks, for everyone involved.

Kind regards,

Clive
