I think I finally solved the comment-post challenge!
Virginia
had a good point I hadn't thought of—classic style/classic(al) music. Plus,
considering the client likes Art Nouveau, I think your design is a fine
solution.
My only criticism would be that, for me, the
Art Nouveau style and pianos don't quite mesh stylistically. Art
Nouveau is more of a visual style, while pianos conjure up an
auditory/musical style. Does the musician play music from that time
period? When I think of Art Nouveau, I also think of it as weaving its
style into the item being illustrated rather than around it. I would
like to see the surrounding natural forms harmonize more with the piano.
On
the flip side, I like your color choices, which exude the desired theme
of water. I also like your font choice, which is classy and refined. I
looked at your client's website and the logo worked well on his site. I
liked that it was centered on the home page and to the right on
subsequent pages, which added some nice variety while still maintaining
continuity.
Sue, welcome to the blog! Thanks for your comment. The pianist performs pieces written in the 1800s, a bit before the Nouveau period. If he played more contemporary classical pieces, I might have integrated the frame with the piano - but I chose to follow historical design a bit more closely. Thanks for your thoughts - I look forward to your participation, and can see that your feedback will be insightful and illuminating!
