Last night I sat down with my mom and showed her the few drafts I had put together. For a while, we played around with them, making little changes such as rearranging the text, adding on her name, and changing some of the sizing of the fonts. The big change we made was to take the shadowing off of the fonts. Originally, I had added that to make it look as though the writing was burned into the wood, but we found that it looked much better and clearer without that shadow. We wound up with a couple of options, both very similar.
I asked her if there was anything else I should to try to do, and as it's a card advertising the laser engraving side of her business, she suggested making it look as though the last 's' in "Creations" was finishing being engraved with a little burst of light. Below are the quick sketches she made of what she might like it to look like, although if I can't get it to work she told me not to worry.
Overall, the process has gone very well. My mom was very pleased with the design after we tweaked it, and I definitely like the results as well. I'm excited to continue playing with it, but I think that even now it looks much better than I thought it would!
