Graphic design

 * Reason:I think this is a very good example of graphic design, by the prolific Lady of Hats. By showing an early stage in the process, it lets people get an idea of how graphic designers prepare various variations on a theme for their customers to select from.

 * Comment Looks nice, but is it too incestuous to promote a design done for the Commons? Fletcher (talk) 14:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's for the voters to decide. I just thought it might be nice to have something different, and it is encyclopedic, if rather convenient =) Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 15:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support To some extent Fletcher is right, but the image does meet all the criteria. Muhammad (talk) 15:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak support I suppose it's likely difficult to obtain an image like this that would not be fair use (hence ruled out here), so free content projects such as Wikimedia should be valid sources to draw from. Caption needs a copyedit ("various variations"?)  Fletcher (talk) 19:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * weak oppose the incestuousness (e.g. Wikipe-tan) doesn't concern me much - but I'm not sure of the EV. How does this illustrate graphic design? I do lots of graphic design and never take the process of making different design variants all the way to this high level of completion. I think the featured image set at Bezier curve is much more illustrative of graphic design. de Bivort 19:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Support I was on the fence for a while about this. It's a nice image, and I suppose that its placement in the article gives it EV. It would be better if there was a place in the article talking about how graphic designers make different copies. Intothewoods29 (talk) 21:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose per deBivort. Clegs (talk) 21:48, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose unless the caption is changed to explain what this has to with graphic design, because I don't see it. The Euro symbol construction diagram (which is already featured mind you) does a much better job of illustrating the subject, IMHO. --Uncle Bungle (talk) 21:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose, existing FP does a better job, low EV, self-referential. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2008-08-21 16:05Z
 * Oppose, graphic design is not just logo design, which I suppose that would be. I don't think it's showing the process well, certainly not better than the euro sign diagram, and as a logo it is of lesser quality than the euro symbol: it is too detailed for the purpose, a logo requires among other things simplicity, clarity and a good concept, it's not an illustration. Also, the image isn't used anywhere else. Todor→Bozhinov 11:16, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
