HELP, PLEASE!!

Posted by admin in Digital design, HELP ME! on September 20th, 2009

So, I’m doing a few design rough drafts for a friend of mine.

Basic breakdown:

My company is called Magnolia Acquisitions- I don’t really have any ideas for a logo but it can’t be too flowery/girly because of the nature of the work.
And it’s an accounts receivable financing firm- if it could just say “Accounts Receivable Financing” under the company name that’d be great…
I connect retailers and vendors with banks to establish lines of credit for purchasing goods. I manage those accounts so that the vendors can focus on selling products instead of getting paid.
I’m going after the firearms industry because it’s something that they’ve never done before- It’d help if the logo was somewhat edgy.

I’ve been trying to balance the name “magnolia …” with the firearm market. So far, the only thing I’m attached to in my design is the name. I made it edgy, but it could still fit in with something magnolia. Help! Leave me comments!

I was going to add poppies as well, but I kind of like it as is.

This is something I want to be good at, but I don’t really know how to begin. I got a couple mags though, and I’m sure I’ll learn in a class sooner or later. Here’s my second attempt at digital drawing using a wacam pad and photoshop. You don’t want to see my first attempt, haha!

Caffeine and old friends

Posted by admin in Paintings, poster design on July 27th, 2009

Today I had too much coffee. I’m in the process of buying a house, which means DON’T SPEND MONEY!! This is very, very, very hard for me. I love buying things. Food, clothes, books, useless things, I love it all. So today, McDonald’s was offering a free coffee! YAY FOR FREE COFFEE! Then, I borrowed a dollar from Tami at work to get more coffee. YAY, MORE COFFEE! I’ve been at work from 8 am till 720 pm. I still feel like I could run 3 miles without breaking a sweat.

No new art today, so I’ll share something old:

This is an acrylic painting I did of my vet’s dog, in exchange for getting my cats fixed and all their shots done. Her name is Mauri, and she’s so beautiful!
