Protege Contestant #1: imthatguy

Titled "The Avalon Room" after the mythical island King Arthur visited before his death. Enjoy!




This first post represents the "original submission" only, and enables the initiation of the discussion thread on this chip submission. This thread now belongs to imthatguy, and he may use his first post within this tread to post updates/changes to his submission, which will ultimately be the design of his that gets submitted into the voting rounds on July 17th.

Feedback, comments, & constructive criticism encouraged!

Re: Protege Contestant #1: imthatguy

OMFG - what a first set to see.

I like the theme, the absence of numbers in the denominations, and the use of symbols on the chips.

Re: Protege Contestant #1: imthatguy

Pros:
  • thin color band around the inlay
  • written out denoms

Cons:
  • thin color band around the inlay...looks great, but will it work with shaped inlays?
  • not a big fan of black backgrounds

Re: Protege Contestant #1: imthatguy

I think this has potential also. I think black will be a problem. If you could find a solution to that I think you may have a winner.

Re: Protege Contestant #1: imthatguy

I agree with previous posters regarding the black. I think it dominates the chips. Maybe use some color variations based on the base/edge colors.

I do like the pegasus and variation on the fleur-de-lis a lot.

Possibly make it just Avalon?

Re: Protege Contestant #1: imthatguy

I agree on the background color as well. I think a lighter/white background with the pegasus somehow matching each particular chip would look great.

I really like this design, though.

Re: Protege Contestant #1: imthatguy

Nice choice of imagery (both literally and in terms of inspiration), nice execution. I might also suggest that the black background may be problematic, but I'm not as convinced of that as some.

Nice work!
