Do you provide images of your rental house/landscape?

No.

This artwork isn't for *my* properties, this is a generic website that will be a forum for vacation rental owners.

I was expecting that you'd use royalty free clip-art similar in style to the examples at http://etusa.com/vro.html

Wow, nice Job, Bogglins and Christian! I'm very impressed.

Bogglins, it's "OWNERS" (plural) not "OWNER" ;)

My Favorite so far is the sample in Message #10 from Christian.

Here's what I like about Christian's entry:

1) Nice selection of simple watercolor graphics & colors

2) Cool Retro Linen paper look

3) Great layout.

What could be improved:

1) Round the hard corners of the letters to make them more like "hand drawn block characters"

2) "Vacation" cursive color white instead of beige, and 5% larger.


I'M AWARDING A WINNER BY 9PM SUNDAY NIGHT. So please submit any other entries you may have.

Nice work, folks!

Christian,

Nice Font change! Very Retro-looking.

Nice white font change for "Vacation" Maybe a bit larger with a black outline to make it stand out?

Can you try the original "Clouds" background from Message #10?

Better yet, do you have a Beach background, maybe Beach and palm trees background? Or Beach & hills background?

Christian

Here you go! That outlined "vacation" definitely helped bring all the words together. :)

Yes. Outlined vacation looks good.

Have any other background choices that have beautiful watercolor clouds like your first example?

Beach with blue sky & white clouds? Similar to the image below but converted to look like a WATERCOLOR like your #10 postcard?

I liked the font and layout -
