business cards july

Well I finally designed some business cards for myself..does this mean i’m a real person now? ;) I got them printed from Moo & i’m super happy with how they came out! That’s my fancy logo on the back. Way glad I have something to hand out now when someone’s interested in what I do.

Along with these new cards & in an effort to always make things more aesthetically pleasing, I added some art to my cubicle at work. I’m way guilty of snapping shots of & collecting everything that catches my eye..whether it’s nice typography in a grocery store, a dress in a shop I could make myself, or just something that inspires in some way. This is when cell phones really come in handy!

Some pretty design i’ve recently spotted:

1. Hand-drawn packaging 2. Colorful poster from a coffeshop in Montauk, NY 3. Elegant & vintagesque 4. Some words of wisdom & simple, nice design in my cubicle for daily happiness. ♥

f*ck yeah, vegan! new project + blog design

Sunday, August 28th, 2011

A bit of time ago my boyfriend Matt had a great idea for a new blog & asked me if I wanted to be his partner in crime. Of course I was down for that! If you couldn’t guess, we’re both vegans..this is our collaboration where we post veggie filled recipes, restaurant reviews, and more with a good dose of silliness. I designed the layout..it was my first time making a custom theme in Tumblr but i’m getting the hang of it! Check it out if it’s up your alley ♥

June Redesign

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

This weekend I put together a new design for the blog. I wasn’t really diggin’ the black header that was up, I wanted a lot of white space and a simple design. Inspiration for the colors came from the color scheme of my bedroom, lime green & hot pink! I’m still messing with the sidebar a bit. Also, have I mentioned how much I <3 WordPress? Because I do.

Ocean City Beach Fest

Monday, May 30th, 2011

A flyer I designed for the Ocean City Beach Fest, which was yesterday. The fest is held annually in New Jersey on the boardwalk, over ten bands scheduled to play & the proceeds from the event tickets go to disaster relief victims. My band was included to play the festival and I was excited about the road trip, music, and hanging out on the boardwalk. Although, unfortunately we didn’t end up attending or playing (long story!) I used one of my photos from my recent trip to the Jersey Shore area.

Design: Through The Static Demo

Sunday, April 17th, 2011

Remember a while ago I was talking about working on some new projects I was excited about? Well this is one of them..the demo from my all-girl pop-punk band. We recently had some time to record the last song for it, and we needed artwork to finish it up. This is what I came up with!

I went with blocky bold fonts, a broken television idea, hot pink hues, grungy graphics, and a silly photo of us. This was super fun to make.
