Nuts & Bolts – Good Gets Great Before Making a Series
It’s always wise to take a final moment and reflect on your submission making any final improvements. This is so true if you intend to create a like image series based on the design. Not only does it improve your success in the review process but in marketability and sales too – where it really counts!
See this excellent example of final tweaks and tuning made by GCU artist Ron Magnes to his Galactic Christmas card design. This is now a attention getting relationship specific series.
Ron shared in the Notes to Reviewers with the review team:
Before I continue with this series I made a few adjustment. I darkened the background and brightened the type so it pops a little more. I also changed “stellar” to “awesome”. I figured more kids say awesome than stellar. I also got rid of the grain texture I thought it was too busy with everything else that’s going on and replaced it with a subtle circular pattern. On the inside verse I changed cluster to galaxy and spectacular to stellar. Can you please look it over and give me your thoughts.

Clever Ron has also used the design concept for a relationship specific Galaxy Birthday series.

Great job, Ron. As usual, your work is out of this world!
The difference is made in the details!
