Merchant Archive

Some of you may have seen my thread called <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Development&message.id=410321"target=blank>Art Team: What Women Want</a>. Ood_Bnar (Jake Rodgers, SWG Art Director) asked me if I would be willing to summarize the contents of the (now 14-page) thread for him and I did so and sent it to him a couple of weeks ago.

I wanted to share the section directly relevant to merchants. The section on home decor (which I posted in the architect forum) may also be relevant to many of us that take great care decorating our shops. I hope some of these changes are approved, ourprofession could use some loving The last idea is one of my wish list items I don't know how many vendors I've created and destroyed wishing I could image design them
