jerry1939 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 WOW! For a learner, you are certainly on the right track. If I were to make a humble suggestion, it would be that if you look, most designers put their bridges at the bottom of the islands. In a couple of minutes I will post a new pattern titled; "Religious Word Art" I'm sure the other designers will also try to help you. When designing, deal with frustrations as just a way of life! jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks Jerry, I will keep an eye open for your new pattern post. No problem with frustrations for me. I looked at it and it looked like something could be better just can't figure it out. To me the pattern looks very busy...which isn't good to a photographer.

Dan Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Jim, great start. I like the script font but I would change the positions of the bridges like Jerry suggested. Here's where I would have put the bridges. See the red marks. I would also have made the white space around the script font larger. That makes the script a little more pronounced. Hope this helps.

LarryEA Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 First, Three cheers on doing very good on your first. I'd be pleased if I did that good. Now, two things. 1. What Dan said/did 2. Probably should be posted in "New Patterns" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Thanks Larry, I wasn't sure if my first pattern should be posted in "New Patterns" or not since I am still working and fixing a lot of things. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Jim Great job on your first pattern. Learning is a very exciting place to be. Congrats on taking the leap. We are start at the beginning. Other then the the bridges, I would widen the names on the sub letters a little bit. Great job. Your definitely on you way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Three cheers from me. I just wish I had time to even contemplate learning to do these types of patterns, oh well may be one day. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi Marg, What do you mean "you don't have the time"? Don't you know the saying; "A woman works from sun to sun, but a man's work is never done". (Or something like that......... jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Scroller Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 for your first pattern that looks really good, Im with dan on the bridges, that usually looks the best so that way the bridges blend in better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
