already know, I love photography! … but what some of you may not know is that my focus was NOT photography the past several years. I LOVE designing! Tshirts, banners, posters, flyers, logos, etc. I thought graphic design was going to be my main focus. I truly love it! I interned the past three years with the wonderful people in the Marketing Dept. of Ferguson Center for the Arts. During this time I had the awesome opportunity to design billboards, magazine ads, etc. This type of stuff excites me and so when I started making this shift to photography, there was a part of me that wondered if I would miss it. The cool thing is that I don’t miss it because I’m still doing it!
I mean it when I say that I am incredibly BLESSED to be doing something that incorporates EVERYTHING I love!
I still get to design all the time and I’m designing for myself! Branding has been so much fun for me during this whole adventure. I truly believe that with a good logo and well designed stationary you can fool anyone into thinking you are big time! haha I just recently received my thank you postcards, gift certificates and promo cards in the mail and I am so excited! Here’s a little peek at them!
Also……big news! I’ve been designing and designing and designing the past 3 days on a very exciting project!…. I’m going to make you wait! But here is a hint of what’s to come!
Thanks for reading!
