So I was pretty busy today and only had a little bit of time to work on this project. This is the next iteration and while I think its an improvement over the original there are still a lot of things that I will need to change.
I decided to keep the same color scheme because I really wanted to make it work. That and I didn't want to bother with getting new colors to match. I added two photos of poodles (ones that are actually toy poodles) that the client gave me and made them gray scale, ran the PS cutout filter on them, separated the colors with paths, brought them into Illustrator and cleaned the edges, and then finally into CorelDraw.
I did what I could with the title but I still need to make some tweaks. Maybe the spacing for "companions" and the font for "poodle". I'll also play more with the inner box since the description is a bit too small. The phone number I'm not sure about. It juts off the sign when everything else is uniform so I might make the outcropping even (just a line instead of following the numbers) or bring it up. I'll see the reaction from the client.
Overall I think this one is on track. I like it way more than the last and I'm glad its not symmetrical. I have to finish one other layout (it has a poodle silhouette as the sign/ client's request) and then I'll email 'em out.
you should send them a design where you accidentally rename the company:

sweet pwoodews that wou will wove!
or just toss the word edible in there a few times in the background
on a serious note, a good designer is someone who can tackle a tacky job with as much interest and taste and one of their own-
looks good
the only thing id like to see is the dog somehow interacting with the space, and sign. like maybe flopping a paw
over the info box thats overlapping him.
Thanks man. I'll probably change it up in my own time. The lady actually didn't like this one at all. She went with the one that's posted above this (I had to make a ton of changes to it to please her).
