Some cool ads......

Thinking of Ads...

So I have been thinking about my ads. I want them to be clever and possibly even a little sarcastic. I have been trying to come up with some cool sayings that I could put in the ad. I guess the main goal of the advertisement is to promote the cupcakes, but maybe I will feature one particular flavor. Not sure yet....

Here are some sayings I have thought might be cute:

-Make Cupcakes Not War (not sure what I can do with this, still need to brainstorm)
- Keep Calm and Eat a Cupcake (play on British war slogan "Keep Calm and Carry On")
- Everyday's A Cupcake Kind of Day! (Possibly featuring several photos of cupcakes with the colors I have been using)

Another idea I have is maybe taking one specific cupcake and putting a spotlight on it and putting something like "The Main Event" or something. The company offers giant cupcakes so maybe I could do that for it.

I will try and think of some more and post some sketches later.

Past Work

I have been working on my past works preparing for the portfolio review. These are a few that I have completed. I will post the rest of my works later......

Some Cool Stuff!

These are a few things I found on the website Paige posted on the blog earlier today. The website Graphic Exchange.com is full of inspiration. There is tons of stuff to look at. These are just a few that I liked while I skimmed through the site!

I am currently working on my self-mailer but am not sure where I am going to print it since it is larger than a standard printer and I don't know where I am going to get nice enough paper but still big.

How are you guys printing your self-mailer? Should I try Kinko's or somewhere like that?

Another....

Another one. Lori suggested that I make the circles smaller so I did!

Possible New Designs

Okay so I am trying to change the design up for the stationery set. I added the stitching to the stripes but I am not sure how that works. I also did one with circles and I think I like this one better than the original stripe idea.

Are there too many circles on the back?

I also thought about possibly adding stitched circles inside some random circles around the design to tie in the stitched idea.

Please give me some feedback! Merci!

Stationery Set

Okay, this is my final stationery layout. What do you all think?

Stationery Update....

Okay so I have been working alot on my stationery set throughout the break. I am almost done and will post some pictures soon......
