Something about this is off...

polichik · December 2009

I was in love with our STDs the other day, but now something about the flowers and their placement is bugging me. They just look weird to me. Here's the link to our STDs, and the inspiration is in my bio. Any thoughts for how I could change it? I fail at Photoshop, but FI said he'd tweak it if I could tell him what I wanted to change.

Edit: Link fail. Let's try this one:

It honestly looks fine to me.

Nebb · December 2009

Looks good to me

AmoroAgain · December 2009

Looks fine to me. I think you should stop looking at them.

bbyckes · December 2009

What's supposed to be wrong with this?

julezlee · December 2009

I still love them.

Brie2010 · December 2009

It's fine. You're overthinking it.

polichik · December 2009

Probably true, Amoro. This is the first tangible thing for our wedding that we've done, so I'm probably way over-thinking it. Sorry to be a goober.

Nebb · December 2009

Heh I think you overthink a lot, just jump my friend. Even if there is something "off" it looks fine and no one but you will ever notice.

connie0000 · December 2009

its fine.

ricksang · December 2009

The front pink flower that crosses all the other flowers seems off to me. It seems added on, if that makes sense.

Goldlie11 · December 2009

I think they look great.

Not to get off topic, but I LOVE your hair. The cut is so flattering to you.

AmoroAgain · December 2009

It's all right. Just do it and get it over with. No one is ever going to notice.

tidetravel · December 2009

Is there any way you can get the flowers closer to the text? There's a big patch of white in the middle which looks odd to me

ricksang · December 2009

I have to agree with Amoro, even though she''s a b!tch j/k

They are STDs. Guests will be all like, "Aww that's nice" and then either hang in on their fridge and forget about it, or throw it away after makings their planners.

squirrly · December 2009

I think they're lovely, and that you're overthinking it.

polichik · December 2009

Thanks Goldie

Oh, I absolutely agree that my guests won't know the difference at all. I'm one of those annoying perfectionists, so it would bug me. I think I might change the spacing a little bit, but otherwise I'm going to call it a day. You ladies are always great for a reality check!

ricksang · December 2009

Your wedding is going to be pretty perfect. I just know it. Relax!

polichik · December 2009

Thanks, ladies! Consider me relaxed. I'm off to have wine, so that should do the trick

The reason you don't like it, I think, is because your flowers are shaded and not solid shapes. The flowers on the sample are solid shapes overlapping, causing only three total solid colors. You have shades of the three colors, and I bet that's what's bugging you.

Also, their flowers are all the same, and you have a mix of different flowers. That could be bugging you too.

None of it bugs me, and I can KILL a design by overthinking, trust me. I like yours a lot! I do like the suggestion of moving your flowers over just a bit, and you could center the line vertically with your names in that gap between the top yellow dandelion and the pink flower beneath it. Close to the stem. That would be nice.

Again, I overthink. It really is a great piece. Stop worrying!

I think that you tend to over-think everything because you are quite the perfectionist! Stress less- those STD's are super adorable, and I highly doubt your guests will receive them and critique the alignment of your text!
