Indie one-o-seven

What have I been doing lately?
...Having fun with logo/brand identity!


Making of a sketchbook

Something that one should know about a creative mind is that there are always several projects going on around us and a million more going on in our head.
I want to make my own sketch book this time -- the ones I've had in the past are plain, dull, empty, prosaic...
I want to build a more efficient sketchbook. One that will dare me to open it and once it's open, will inspire me and get me going. Is this expectation for a sketchbook too high?
So far, I have the color palette I'd like to incorporate within this sketchbook. I know that once started, it will continue to change...



Mockup

It's not all about food...
I've been working hard on my classes as well. Here, the first mockup for my package design class -- a  button box. The concept: don't judge a book by its cover.



The box is 4.25x5.75 inches (when closed). I though it might make a good candy box or a stationery note cards contained. The inside is a complete surprise.... isn't it?



Yumolicious!

About some inspiration around the kitchen to welcome my favorite season?


Cinnamon Baked Apples with Tangerines and Cranberries
(serves 4)

2 large baking apples, such as McIntosh or Rome Beauty
1 1/4 cups unsweetened apple juice, preferably unfiltered organic
1/2 cup (2 ounces) dried cranberries
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 seedless clementines or tangerines, peeled, separated into segments

Heat oven to 400F. Cut apples in half lengthwise; cut out and discard core, seeds, and stems. Place 1/4 cup of the apple juice in an 8-inch baking dish or casserole. Place apples cut side down over juice. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until apples are tender. Meanwhile, simmer remaining 1 cup apple juice in a small saucepan over medium-high heat 5 minutes. Add cranberries, cinnamon and cloves; reduce heat and simmer uncovered 10 minutes, or until cranberries are plumped, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in clementine sections. Arrange apple halves, cut sides up, on serving dishes. Pour any remaining liquid from dish into cranberry mixture; spoon over apples.

Identity - try one...

I was asked to create a business card for a brand new business. The challenge is not the business card itself, but the creation of their logo.
It's a good thing I've started my GD III class. It promisses a lot of logo design and brand identity content.
First mockup/idea as follows... Colors are a must - client really likes blue and as far as the square format, still in discussion.


Texturizing...

Some textures I will be working with pretty soon... It's hard to decide for one, and sometimes I feel like using them all... More details about this special project soon.


Looking at them all together made me realize... I do like flowers!!!
