but just a little bit spartan at the moment.
I think given that complete lack of public exposure slinging has - at least a couple of lines of text and maybe a small illustration of someone slinging would proably be a good idea.
And I know we're probably stuck with mr silhouette and his 'lariat' as a site logo.
But to me it just doesn't come across as a slinger the public could relate to. so maybe something else as well ?
My thoughts exactly. Problem: How do I represent a sling (let alone a slinger) in such a small space? A sling with coiled arms would fit better than a full length sling (I was looking at maybe using rockman’s pics from the gallery), but would people recognize it coiled up? The sling from the homepage is a good candidate, but it would it be too small if I put it in vertically? And it would be confusing if I put it in horizontally because there is a rock in the pouch (well, it would confuse me, would it confuse you folks?)
And another slinging person… What style? A cutout from a picture? Historical or modern? An outline? A silhouette? Where and how big should it be? Remember the final card will be almost half the size of my example (if it is the size of most business cards)
If you guys want to help, I will happily take suggestions on the above and text (especially text). Otherwise, I’m at a loss as to what to do from here…
