Cupcakes and Mudpies

Hi everyone! 

I promised that there would be some more of Christy's birthday invites to come and here they are!

The past few days I have been working on a birthday invite for a little girl, as well as for the boys.

For the little girls invite, Christy was thinking she'd like pinks and browns, maybe with some polka dots and I came up with this!

This is the front of the invite.

This is the inside of the invite.

 Cute? :)

For the boys, she has a birthday package about digging in the dirt brownie adventure. I thought I could do something like bugs but not so gross :P I made one that I didn't like so much, Christy thought it was cute but I thought I would keep playing around with it to see what I could come up with. Here are the two different birthday invites I designed.

Front number 1 (not so good)

 Front number 2 ( a bit better?)

And finally this is the inside of the boys invite.

That's all I have for now! Let me know what you think :)

Invitations and Blogs

Hello again everyone!

I haven't posted in a while but I've been working a lot on some graphics for Christy and I thought I'd share them with you guys!
Christy ( the chocolate maker - check out her website here ) had the great idea of having kids' parties now that she has a big kitchen to work in! She has four different party packages: Wacky cake and cookie decorating, pizza cookie fun, digging in the dirt brownie adventure, and dippity do chocolate I love you. For her website she was thinking of having some fake polaroid graphics that you could click on for each of the four birthday packages. Here's what I came up with for her.
So far it is just a google image in there, not one of Christy's but you get the idea.

Looks great doesn't it?! 

Another thing I've been working on is the invitations for her birthday parties. The idea behind this is that the mom's would go on her website, print out these invitations for the kids to bring to school and hand out to their friends. Here's what I came up with for the older female group.

This is the front of the invitation

And this is the inside of the invitation

The back of the invitation would have her company address as well as the map to the shop. My next steps will be to make a boy version of the invitation, as well as an invitation for younger girls.

I've also been working on Christy's new blog! Hasn't been ready for action at all yet, no blog posts, but I'm working on the design and the separate pages. 

One of Christy's pages is a recipe page. Her idea was that for each recipe she posts, she will create a recipe card. Her "Recipe" page would have several different images of recipe cards posted to it, so everything will be right there and easy to find. Here's what I created for the recipe card.

I love how it turned out, it looks so cute!

That's all I've been working on as of lately.. I will have some more graphics coming up, and I may have a post of "fall finds" clothes, keep checking!

This Book Belongs To..

Hello again everyone! 

Just got some free time finally! So I decided to post another one of my projects. This one was done just the other day for my sister.She is involved in Craftster and was working on a craft swap. 

The idea of this craft swap is the 12 days of Christmas, for 12 days.. there are 12 different gifts, at least I think that's how it works... ANYWAYS, for one of the days, my sister was planning on doing a book themed gift. She was going to send some handmade bookmarks and whatnot so she asked me if I could make this project to go along with it.

The idea was that this would be made into a sticker that the craft swap receiver could put inside her books, so that if they get lost the finder will know whose book it is! The specs allowed for quite a bit of creativity, the only thing my sister asked was that there be some sort of tree on the sticker. 

Here it is!

I really like how this one turned out, I'd actually like something like it for my business card! Let me know if you have any comments about it! I'd love to hear them.

Kitschy Christmas!

Hi everyone!
Haven't posted in a while, just been working on a few things for my aunt lately as well as something brand new for my sister Jessica.
Every year she has a Christmas dinner/party at our house with a theme. It is always "A very ____ Christmas" Examples of what she's done are
A Very Glam Christmas
A Very Creepy Christmas
A Very Classy Christmas
Anyways, this year she's doing it again for the 4th year in a row and the theme this Christmas is "Kitschy".
She always makes a facebook event to invite all her friends to this so using my Graphic Design I make her an event posting picture as well as a thumbnail.
Check out what I made for the Kitschy Christmas!

This is the main facebook picture 

This is the facebook thumbnail picture. 

I really like how everything turned out. I think maybe the font needed a little something else but seeing as I only had a half hour - hour to work on this I had to stick with what I got. 

Comments welcome!

More for Christy

Hi everyone!

I'm back in action again with some more stuff for Christy's gourmet gifts company!

Christy has been having me work on a few different things for her trying to get the hype up for the launch of her new website!

She's been trying to get going a Facebook account, as well as group, a Twitter account and her very own blog (involving recipes, event ideas, testimonials, and weddings/events they have been involved in). 

For her facebook group we were thinking something that would also help with marketing.. I've noticed a few different companies/real estate agents and things like that doing a long sort of Facebook picture with information in it, as opposed to just pictures and I thought this would be something good for Christy.

This is what I created for her main Facebook group picture. 

To link from her website to her blog, this is the button I initially created for her, but the pictures needed to be changed up afterwards, as she now has a different photographer!

Since the photography changed, we decided to change up the button a bit more and this is what we came up with. On her main website it will also be a lot larger than the original image that I created. 

The last piece I created for Christy was a blog header. She wanted something with a lot of images to attract the customer to her food but also something that was pretty. 

That's it for today! There will be a lot more to see in the future so keep lookin' back and I'd love to hear your feedback!

Web Pages

Hi everyone!
Disappeared for a while there. Been working really hard on the graphics for a website. I did this for a lady, Christy, who makes her own chocolate gifts, specializing in corporate gifts.
For this project I was doing all the graphics, sending them over to a web designer and he was putting them all online and adding in e-commerce.
The web designer already had a few pages set up I was just changing them up and adding different features and what not.
Christy wanted her website to be pretty and girly with lots of photography to entice people.

Here's the main home page we came up with as a collaboration.

This second picture is a view of what the buttons would look like when you scroll over them. They would be linked to different pages on the website.

Here is a layout of one of the pages her main page would link to. 

Each page would have a different picture on the top as well as the side. These pages have the same tiled background as the main page, it is just a creamy-type colour.

When you click on the product link on the top home bar, this is the page it would take you to. Each picture of product would take you to a separate page which is seen in the second image I have posted. Each top of the page would be different according to what product it is.

A few things have been changed on these webpages since going online. As some of my pages didn't work properly with the way the e-commerce was designed, it had to be tweaked a bit but otherwise I am very pleased with how it turned out :) I will post the link to the website once it is online and ready for the public to view.

Comments welcome!
