-------------------------------------------------I may have majored in Magazine Journalism at Drake, but I minored in Fine Arts. Specifically, Graphic Design and Painting. And if I had ever thought I could make a living on my terms doing either, I probably would have changed majors.
Anyway... I have been dabbling in design again. Ok, and painting too. (I recreated Scott's Aunt & Uncle's wedding picture in Acrylic for their 40th Anniversary.) For the same Anniversary party, I did the invitations, the open house announcements, the response cards, and the place cards. And I loved it. I love the creative feel of the design and the thrill of making something others will see. (It's the same feeling when I cook for other people. I really think I might be an attention hog deep down inside.) So... above is my latest invite, for a Couple's Wedding Shower. It's a Harley Theme, in color and thought. I wanted to include their theme and love of motorcycles, but still keep it classy and modern. I hope they like it. (And yes, I smudged the important personal info!)
So... the point of this rant? I am trying to build my portfolio. And I think I am going to start freelancing. So, if you know of anyone needing a personal invite for a private event... give them my name. I'm not up to fancy-shmancy yet, I need to find a better printer for that. But I can try anything.
