So this morning I shot a pretty rad family. Mom, dad, newborn. Dad had tattoos on his arms and I got some pretty sweet shots of the new soft skinned fresh little baby in papas tattooed arms. I really loved it! The contrast looks great. I wish I could share them with you guys but there are some privacy issues. So I’ll just leave you with this tattooed baby.
I stumbled across this invite somewhere sometime ago and saved it to my documents where i recently stumbled upon it again.
How could you not go to this party? Anyway, this invite immediately makes me think of my grandmothers old Jubilee cookbooks. Even when I was a little girl I liked to look through them and look at the illustrations. They looked much like this invite. I can’t find any Jubilee images on the googles! And my Grannys cookbooks are in her pantry five and a half hours away. Maybe next time I go down to visit I can do some scanning for you guys.
This isn’t a vintage movie poster, but two different poster concepts for the spanish film The Orphanage.
Which one do you prefer? I thinks its probably not hard for you to figure out that I prefer the second one. Its very 70′s horror to me.
The movie was very good. I can tell that the director didn’t want to focus on making a horror movie with scares, but on the emotions – fright yes, but also grief, guilt, and love. If you decide to watch it – definitely check out the special features section, there is a poster concept part with a few more interesting designs.
Were you a girl scout? I was. And I loved every minute of it. One thing I did hate was the uniform. It was god awful. Luckily, our troop leader wasn’t too strict about it and only forced us to wear it on special occasions. I just checked in on the uniform shoppe and am satisfied to say they aren’t making todays poor girls wear culotte like shorts and shirts to rival a hospital gown. Other days we could just wear our regular clothes with our vest. It was brought to my attention today that the Girl Scouts of America has just done a little rebranding…and I do like it. It will draw more tweens in.
They updated the trefoil, and the type, and the geometric patterns are genius. Bold and clean and eye catching. They took the green back to what it was in the early days. When my mom was a girl scout it was a kelly green like now. When I was a girl scout they changed it, and now its back to kelly…much better.
Modern day movie posters are a bit of a snore if you ask me. Not the ones graphic design artists are making and selling on the internets….but the ones that the actual studios make…the ones that people will see fifty years from now.
Would you rather look at this over photoshopped poster of the movies star?
or this beautiful colorful poster of the same movie….but the original 1967 version.
Oh yeah. My vote is for the bold print, bright, psychedelic vintage.
Yeah you know me!
Between editing pictures and….editing pictures, I have been putting together a new pricing guide for clients…..I thought I’d share the cover with you guys. Just a little peek.
Yesterday I was watching Leon: The Professional, which I had never seen before. Two thumbs up, you should see it. Natalie Portman and Jean Reno were great together.
Little Natalie is seen drinking a cherry coke in one scene…and I had totally forgotten that can design. It was the one they were using when I was a kid and it really made me smile when I saw it.
Tell me that doesn’t take you back.
So then I went browsing other Cherry Cokes.
Cherry Coke Right Now.
Cherry Coke When I Was In Middle School.
Ahhh…good times.
So, we are trying to finish getting our shiz together for our booth in our first bridal expo coming in August. I need a little help with this one decision.
I feel like I should explain to you guys who I am marketing towards before you help me out. I love working with a younger, more modern crowd. A crowd with a little edge and their own creativity. So no big bows and tulle for moi.
So, on the wall behind my table I am going to display some of my work mounted onto styrene and matboard. I am having a bit of trouble deciding on what to you use to display them on. These are the three options I have been mulling over.
Aluminum Sheeting.
Three sheets of this hung vertically.
Chain Link.
Chicken Wire.
What do you guys think.
As you can tell, I’m going for metal. If you have any ideas that you feel are better you certainly can share those too…but I do love my metal.
