Something Sweet
I made this for my friend for her birthday. I just put it in a plain chocolate brown wooden frame from Ikea and it looked quiet cute. Jess liked it to so that's the main thing!
I downloaded the jar from www.angiemakes.com. Angie has such beautiful vectors available for download at very affordable prices, she also has some freebies too (like this jar). This website was originally where I got the idea from as she has vectors for download of pretty flowers in jars but I wanted to try make my own. My flowers aren't to fancy cause I'm not good at drawing on illustrator but I will get there....one day!

Pretty Purple Polish Logo
Awhile ago my friend Alanna asked me to design her a logo for her very successful nail polish blog Pretty Purple Polish. For some reason it took me awhile to put together a full idea for this task and it wasn't till the very end that I really thought of an idea that I was happy with.
Since it took me awhile to come up with an idea this logo went through various stages and most of them I was never 100% satisfied with. I'm not even going post all the ideas as some are so horrible that Alanna didn't even get to see them.
My idea was to have a nail polish bottle as the main feature for the logo and I was really interested to see what a nail polish bottle would look like in a sketch/illustration style. My first form of inspiration came from the following image.
I also liked the following image and had the thought of a hand holding a polish brush along side the polish bottle.
Based on these ideas I came up with the following logo idea.
This was almost going to be the final logo but I had a quick moment of thought and come up with a range of similar logos that Alanna loved!
In the end the final Pretty Purple Polish logo ended up as this and we both love it!! Check out her blog and see it used in her blogs new look. www.prettypurplepolish.com

R & R Massage Therapies - Designs
My friend Bec started up her own massage business after completing a few courses at tafe. To help start her off her business I suggested I design her a logo, business cards and whatever else she needed.
In the end I designed a logo, 2sided business card & a gift certificate. She had previously order some flyers and business cards off Vista Print but was not happy with the quality of the cards although she liked the grass image template she had used off the website.
From there I purchased a few grass images from Deposit Photos and I based a number of designs around these images. In the end Bec decided on the bottom image although we both agreed the image was to yellow. I therefore manipulated the image in Adobe Photoshop by adjusting the hue/saturation, removing percentages of yellow and cyan out of the yellow tonal areas and also adjusting the curves.
In the end these were the final products
Check out R&R's facebook page.

Belrose & Aliphia Designs
Finished this logo today, I am so happy with how it turned out :)
Its for my friend Elle's new little business she has just started up, she will be making jewellery, dream catchers and singlets. She has her first market this weekend at Caringbah, I can't wait to see all the beautiful things she has made!
Along side Elle at the markets will also be Sophie who has started her own fashion label Aliphia. Everything is made and designed by Sophie. I have seen a few bits and pieces that she has uploaded on the Aliphia Facebook page and she has told me of a few other designs she is planning on making and there is not a single thing I don't like the sound of.
I put this poster together for her to put up on her Facebook page! Although I can't take credit for the photography.
