What's wrong with "The Author's Hangout Collective"

NB. Must always have the apostrophe just there.

Lit might have a problem with that, although we could easily just use "AHC"

... or "IPACT" (Illustrators, Poets, and Authors Coming Together)

 

[TheEarl]

I doubt Laurel would have a huge issue with it. It's worth asking.

Anyways, here's my contribution for cover art:

[Rumple Foreskin]

Maybe

"The Author's Hangout Irregulars" or

"The Author's Hangout Irredeemables" or

"The Author's Hangout Scribblers"

or if you want one of those letter name doo-hickies:

AHPAW (Author's Hangout Poets Artists and Writers) or maybe AHWAP.

And then there's AHA (Author's Hangout Association)

More, please! We'll do a poll for this, too.

 

[English Lady]

I like AHA myself


"Author's Hanging out."

Maybe.

hmm if I think of any more I'll post'em here

Not wishing to be a feedback slut, but what do people think?

That is of course a lie. I am a feeback slut and proud of it.

I liked it Earl.

I am too.

Hey, that could be our copyright name: The Feedback Sluts.

Very nice, Earl! I really like the black backgrounds you guys are using.

If there is a Feedback Slut Club, I would like to join, too.

I like it to Earl love, looks very classy. I very much like this neon idea...definitely eyecatching!

i dunno...

when i look at the Earl's, i'm not thinking of a drink, i'm thinking the neon girl is orgasmng. but that's just me.

good one mr. Earl.

 

[Guest]

Agree on the neon concept. It's quite eye catching. I really would like to have something very crisp, and I'm afraid a scan isn't ever going to get there -- which leaves digital.

I like the use of the martini glass IF erotic imagery is interwoven -- perhaps even merely suggestive. (Being a nascent poet, though, I'm big on the subtlety and innuendo.)

The title text could even be made to resemble a neon bar sign.

Although, I can see it with a glass tipped to that mouth ...

Such was the idea.

I am of course a complete amateur and have no expectations of my drawing being used. I just thought it was quite funky and it was more interesting than my coursework.

Dar's, if you'll excuse me saying, was very good, but I felt it was a little... too crisp. It felt like an e-book cover, very computerised and a little too clinical. That's just my gut feeling.

well phooey.

ok, i'm over it. carry on.

 

[TheEarl]

The concept is "ok"
I SORTA like the neon martini/woman glass.
Though not SO enamoured with the concepts which focus on the DRINK.

I feel that these are not polished enough.

DAR's was polished, but loose on the concept.

JOI: What do you mean by 'polished'?

Well, I liked your one. Can you replicate it on computer?

The Earl

 

[TheEarl]

yes...


The glass in a second neon color could be effective.

I do NOT think THIS is right I like The Earl's "orgasm" better...but thta can be amended...and I will try with a glass too.

I THINK keeping the stylization "true" to bent neon tubing will HELP

No offence, but I have to say I don't like that at all. The font and the red writing are turning me off.

The Earl

 

[English Lady]

Yeah,the red is a bit"in your face" for my liking...puts your teeth on edge...or least it did mine *L*

Just reread that comment and realised how incredibly harsh that just sounded. It's pretty, but it doesn't hit me right for some reason.

Getting closer. I think we're on the right track, though.

Too much "face" ... back it out a bit & leave more room for the glass. Gender ambiguous, if possible. The glass should be the focal point, methinks.

The color doesn't bother me, but I think I would like an electric blue more.

Font should be more neon sign-like.
