Getting the colors right doesn't prove you are trying to "be" New Orleans, it proves that you took the time to get an accurate palette because you wanted to represent faithfully, rather than bastardize it.
If I held a hometown "Christmas" party and used brown, navy blue, and apple gray as the theme colors and had a dwarf in place of old saint nick I think some people on here would lose their shit if I designed a poster like that.
The complaint would be, "wtf is Christmas have to do with this?"
You been to Mardi Gras, cool. You should know, make it festive. As for me, all 3 of these look underwhelming.
- the classic mardi gras colors are too cheesy and no one in california will identify with them. our mardi gras will not be your mardi gras.sarahfailin
- i do appreciate your feedback and your opinion though cherub. there's a lady named Louisiana Sue who has been doing a more traditional mardi gras here for 30yrssarahfailin
- it hasn't ever been anything but a niche event for folks who want to eat gumbo. my MG won't have gumbo, it'll have tacos.sarahfailin
