Hi, a few pieces of feed back.
1. I like the bear, but was looking for it to be facing straight on.
2. in the banner, looking to utilize the same bear and again for it to be walking through the forest straight on.
3. Looking for bolder outline and sharper font on the "PUFFYBEARR"

Ok I m working and will send as said direction. Thanks

Hello CH,
Normally in a project there should be 1 output, but you want both profile image as well as banner image. I think for those the budget for both profile and banner image is low. You need to increase budget if you need high quality of works.
Thanks

Given the ask in the brief, I figured the Bear used in the profile picture could be the same bear utilized in the banner, so didn't feel was asking for much extra output. This is also my first time using design crowd, so i'm getting use to the whole process.
