The client wanted something representing the Pineapple Express - it had to show a family meeting up with US military personnel, in the dark, as they escaped Afghanistan. The setting was the canal near the runway at Kabul airport. The father is holding up a cell phone with a pineapple symbol on the screen for the soldiers to see.
The painting is to be printed out at 36\" x 20\" and framed, then auctioned at a fundraiser.")

The client wanted a similar style to a previous logo, and a particular view for the mountain range.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/160/160006/attachment_160006152 "The client wanted something that looked like an outfitters logo, very outdoorsy and landscape-oriented. There are three color variants shown here.")

Drawn by hand in Illustrator with a subtle 17th century map style, set in the modern era. No scale was required, just specific locations mentioned in the book.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/156/156728/attachment_156728828 "The client wanted something very simple, not overly complicated in style, and they wanted sardines to feature prominently. I mimicked the overall shape of a food plate, keeping the logo contained into a highly versatile tidy circle. The logo works in one color, and in several.")

This shows good posture versus slouching posture. Several images were produced with a consistent style throughout, emphasis being on a sketched realistic texture to the figures.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/151/151544/attachment_151544733 "The client needed an eye-catching illustration that could be embroidered on to a sports shoe. It had to appeal to a variety of potential customers and be easily embroidered.
I chose an abstract wave, inspired by Polynesian art, with bold attention-grabbing colors. It added visual movement to the top of the shoe, and accentuated the flow shown in the sole cut outs.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/155/155538/attachment_155538670 "The client is a primary care clinic and they wanted a logo that conveyed a sense of good health, trust and support.
A neutral tree design, in a calm welcoming shade of blue, evokes feelings of trust and positivity, and I chose a flexible one color design so it will work on all background shades. The logo is simple enough to be read at small sizes, and visually pleasant enough to be made into large signage.")

The map had to be reasonably accurate yet still have a hint of style reflecting the period the book is set in (1500s). Buildings representing several towns the protagonist visited needed to be included, and they had to be correct for c.1500.
Note: this was an initial run-through of the map. A later iteration had details added to Ireland, and some design tweaks.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/137/137214/attachment_137214520 "Client wanted a logo that represented Canada at a glance, and \"pain\". The star-like shape visually gives an impression of stabbing pain radiating out from a point.")

He wanted the photo to look like a hand-colorized vintage photo, in keeping with the vintage clothing and golfing gear.
I desaturated the image, blurred the background and some of the foreground to match how vintage lenses worked, and digitally painted areas to match similar photos from the era he wanted.")

I used the state outline as a starting point, drawing an abstract landscape representing Nevada, the landscapes and players in the sustainability field (urban, forestry, water sources, farming, mountains and tourism).")

"Pixeleiderdown was amazing to work with. Incredibly responsive, excellent artwork, great suggestions, and met all deadlines. I've worked with multiple artists on 99designs and Pixeleiderdown was the best. Can't recommend enough. "

"Pixel was hands-down one of the best communicators I’ve ever worked with. She jumped in with me—even over the weekend—making sure every detail of the graphics matched what I needed. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her. Her persistence..."
