Watercolors - such fun

Postcard 36/366

A few weeks back at the illustration workshop I got to try Gouache colors, I didn't like them as I told you before. Instead I had a strong feeling that watercolors would be just my cup of tea. After I tried them today I know that I absolutely LOVE them. It's such fun to use them. I love that I can be inaccurate when using them and it just looks great.

Those three cards are the first time since art class in school that I used watercolors (that has been at least 16 years since) and I just love those cards.

Finally Finished - the San's Visual Art - Logo

More than four months ago I set out to create my logo. I had waited until that time, because I first wanted my trademark to be registered. Still I had already tried some designs before but never liked any of them enough to go on with them.

So by the end of September 2011 I sat down and started to create countless different versions until I finally came up with this one. This was the logo

I send to my graphic artist with whom I had worked before. I trust this graphic artist because he knows what I like and balances it out. In short we are a really great team.

Over the next months we've exchanged versions of the logo, one idea gave way to another. And then last week we nailed it. So this is it:

My SAN'S VISUAL ART - Logo. I really like it. Colorful, stylish and still easily readable. What do you think?

Now that I have this lovely thing, it was time to change the blog-design. I'm still working on it, so expect ongoing changes during the next week or so.

Today I'll meet with some other DaWanda-Shop-Owners from Leipzig. I love these meet-ups.

TMI vs. just getting it right

Two posters for the same venue. The first one contains wayyyy too much information and is too fidgety, the second one is just getting it right. And let's face it, beside reducing it to the necessary information it shows also a very nice illustration.
