Interview with Debi Dalio Part 2
Rico:
What is your favorite aspect about Zazzle?

Rico:
Include links to 3 of your favorite designs you want me to feature. Tell me something about each design.
Debi Dalio :
I had noticed some interesting graphic designs on Zazzle and wanted to create one myself along similar lines. I don't remember where the seascape idea came from, but I wanted to do something with a layered look. The bottom of this image is the sandy shore. As you move toward the top of the image, the view moves out into the water until it reaches the horizon.
This stylized seashore scene includes seashells, crabs, buoys, waves, fish, whales, seagulls, clouds, and stars on a backdrop of blues, greens, browns with a sunset in red, orange, and yellow.
I love the face on the lion in this photo I took.
This stately male lion's attention is entirely focused on you.
I woke up one morning with this design in my head. I like the bright, cheery colors.
Liven up your bedroom or family room with this bright and colorful pillow that has a circular geometric sun pattern in red, yellow, and orange.
