I like it a lot. I like the typeface. to me this I looks way better than the cliche paiintdrippy things it's beeng compared to
- Rand0
don't change that fucking typeface, or I'll have to come after you!
- Rand0
the thin-ness of the lines and type against the stark black is what appeals to me about it
- F_180
thank you rand! thats exactly what i was trying for!
- TheTick0
don't like it..the name doesn't really stand out..lines are too thin on the dark background..
- MrDinky0

i dont care for the font. and im sick of seeing paintdrips...what do they have to do with writing. if i see one more paint drip on something unrelated to painting i am going to vomit on my shoes
nice use of the color *black

simplify.
if you're going to do lines soften the edges and make it look like a smooth brush stroke.
kill the gray text behind the white.
change the white name font so something more feminine. sans serif maybe?
nice start. keep going!

noted on the type.
and its not paint drips - its milk. she has a column called the "milk memo" which is going to transfrom into a blog. my bad, should've noted that.

thx kona

if we can't tell it's milk right away, it's a problem. maybe an old fashioned milk bottle? As others have said, the font is illegible and doesn't make much of a statement. The flowers are bothering me a little as well, they seem to be on a much smaller scale than the rest of the elements on the page. I'd try to find something from an old botanical book as well, these have too 'new' a feel to them.

the bouquet looks long and pinched, slightly funereal too.
- quoo0
the bottom text is also too small to read easilly.

Like the idea of Milk ...just milk
-if it looked like milk
- F_180
yeah, but i don't know if i wanna go the "milk bottle" route. dark and existential was my direction, so i'd like to be more abstract than literal.
- F_180
any typeface suggestions?
- quoo0
minion?
hrm, i was thinking you could treat the milk bottle like.. i dunno, an old fashioned poison bottle or something.
