Here's another attempt.

I prefer the first version, it's not so wishy-washy � sorry for the technical term!

However, I've always thought that art from Thailand was characterised by amazing curves and colour. A font with rounded shapes and sharp corners may be more sensitive to the subject matter.

The navy blue could be replaced with one of the brighter colours from the image (eg. a yellow or pink).

Cheers

Thanks, Daniel

I was thinking about this last night, and I finally came up with some ideas to improve it, I think (starting from the first version but insetting the art and adding some rules).

Regarding the rounded fonts, I wanted to avoid the curvy look you see at Thai restaurants, which I think is kind of a cliche. My feedback at the museum is that this font does -- strangely -- evoke a bit of Thai quality.

Tom a couple of ideas: 1. Try making the color image smaller and offset it a bit asemtrical. Create some tension don't justify everything it looks like a text book. 2. Think matt/gloss use an aquious coating and then print a matt varnish leaving only the color image glossy. 3. Make the image smaller and instead of a solid background use a ghosted version of the color image full bleed in one color. 4. If you have it in your budjet, think in terms of embossing or stamping.

Good suggestions, Daniel, thanks.

They are both good, Tom, but I prefer the second version. FWIW, Paul

Nice of you to say, Paul. I've done a few more since these. Still can't find one I like. Eventually it will get there if it marinates long enough I guess.

But I like your "The Light at Montauk Point, Long Island."
