This weekend I got some great advice from design professionals on how to improve my sister's business cards' designs. Basically, they advised me to get rid of the candy-like logo. And I couldn't agree more. Using just her name as the logotype steps her jewelry line up a notch. Im still playing around with the backs of the cards and with the rest of her information. Soon enough we can get these babies sent to the printer and my sister can finally start earning the money she deserves!

My original post from on 2/7/2010:

For my sister's 30th birthday, I made her a variation of business cards for her jewelry line. I began with her logo which reflects Paige's fun yet stylish jewelry design. The background pattern of her logo is a pink diamond, and I played around with her initials until I saw that the m appeared to be in the shape of a jewelry stone, in particular a stone sitting on top of a ring. Her name and information are my handwriting. Lastly, I made three of her cards circular because of another one of her hobbies, collecting drink coasters. I was really happy to finally do this for her!

Updated System for Lemur Optics

This is very close to my final system and signage for the branding of Lemur Optics, a fictional eyeglass company I invented. As I mentioned before, in my comm systems class each student drew out of hat, an animal, number, mineral, and two letters. Based on those results, we were to research and build concepts for a new brand. I picked Lemur, 22, Flint, and QT. I decided on an optics/eyeglass boutique. Lemurs have large inquisitive eyes, and carry fun and playful characteristics. The other three components I chose helped me to build a logo or a mark that will help reach my audience: young, intelligent, hip adults residing or visiting the town of Boston. The store would sit on Newbury Street, a sophisticated and heavily populated shopping area of Boston.

My Save the Date Postcard

I've been waiting a long time to post the Save the Date postcard I created. We sent them out last Friday, and hopefully its design didn't interrupt any mailing processes. The design is all block printing, and the heart is the logo I created for us. All the text (besides the Cameron and Eric title) are all tweaked fonts by moi. Enjoy!

In my advanced design class, I created a jean company that is attempting to bridge the gap between the high-end/fashionable jeans and the tree-hugging/environmentally friendly ones. Its name is Rebel with a Cause. I cannot decide on a tag-line for the ad with the woman subject, it's among these three ideas:

Mother Earth, we've got your back...

Primping Mother Earth...

Standing behind Mother Earth...

Giving Mother Earth a makeover...

Lemur Logos, Final Cut

Im trying to decide on colors and at the same time, Im trying to narrow three final logo ideas down to one. As I said before, my audience consists of young, intelligent, hip adults residing or visiting the town of Boston. The store would sit on Newbury Street, a sophisticated and heavily populated shopping area of Boston.
