Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Playing around with 60's style design.

Carter Creations-branding mockups

Whenever my mother and aunt work together on a creative project (they've written & illustrated at least 2 kids books so far) they call it, 'Carter Creations' with the tagline, 'Always the finest.'  When I wanted to practice my branding and company identity skills, I knew just what to call the business.

This is a jewelry and gift store because I couldn't find a better image using wrapping paper than the one above.  Overall I think it came out nice.  These prints are not recent and I was surprised how modern they came out with just a little recoloring.

And here's my earlier, rejected logo.  I thought it was just too difficult to read, even though I love that 80's style font.

Pastel vaporwave mood

Pastel vaporwave kind of mood today.  I really held back on the effects and gradients (only 2 in the whole design!) to get a more flat, retro feel.  

Happy birthday Sophia! Sophia is a color expert and one of my most favorite people.  You can check out her awesome work here: The Colorist
