The chosen one...

Here's the one I was happy with, I decided to nix the palm trees and background elements in favor of a cleaner piece with nothing to distract the eye from what was important. I think the negative space works nicely (once it's cropped to CD specs... see a couple posts below for the final) The sign has just a little bit of perspective on it to give me a nice space to present the logo and info without too much distortion. To the right of the pic is my loose and final penciling onto illustration paper, now I get to break out the Winsor & Newton series 7's and my ink bottle and get my fingers dirty! Stay tuned and I'll get some stages posted.
