I finally got to use my new camera over the break! We had a photo shoot for some new lines that came into Decorative Arts Apparel so we found an amazing piece of property owned by Jann Jerkins and her husbamd! It was so beautiful and sprinkle of great expectations ambiance which was such a dreamboat! We had champagne and a grand time! The girls were so beautiful! It was just an overall great day!

I was so excited when David Busch told me he was going to be the new owner of Chelsea’s on Cardinal in Vero Beach. We decided we needed a temporary, newish logo for the announcement this week. Here you can find their old one. Because the business is merely switching hands for right now and no big changes will occur for a bit I wanted to keep their identity but, ya know, just give it a little pizzazz and I think it did just that! I was happy. David was happy. We were happy!
I was researching online and came across this articleon readership and it inspired me write a little blog on mistakes! I make them often and it’s embarrassing but I know I will continue to make them throughout my career! My mind is racing all day long between freelance, school and Waldo’s Secret Garden! I wish I could say I stop and concentrate on one project but I usually have 20 tabs open multi-tasking like a mad man! Anyways, there’s a specific publication in Vero Beach that I had issues with for months maybe even a full year (yikes)! I’m talking like I got e-mails multiple times a day “ Charlotte this is still wrong”, ” Charlotte you’re not doing it right” Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte! ha! My fault the whole time I was saving a file wrong but finally about two months ago it occurred to me that I needed to speak to the graphic designer on their team because from what I knew I was doing everything right on my end. Situation is fixed now, they just needed a different file type (simple!) but still when I think back on it I cringe! I was about to give up doing the AD just on the mere fact that I was worried these people thought I had flutter nutter for brains!
lesson learned: Speak with their designer(s) first and make sure you understand their requirements before you start creating!
I have a friend I met in school , Caitlin, and she helps me alllllllll the time. I mean I go over to her house nearly in tears with school projects and we figure them out and she teaches me everything she knows about coding! It’s a great help because I consider myself a designer, not necessarily a person wild about web design. She just helped me with a huge issue with a recent project by googling a code generator and this is what she said when she was done… Life is simple and I always forget!
Going through Lilly Pulitzer’s new line and I am sorta, kinda head over heels! I’m totally over this hipster look and want something fresh and fitting to make me feel like a little lady and Lilly always pulls through!
I never have a problem growing older because when I was younger I constantly wanted to be older. Older people have fun. I wouldn’t go back to 7, 14, or even 18 if you paid me… well maybe I would just steer my life course in the design direction a little sooner…
Anyway, I had goals before I turned 26 and I am happy to report that I accomplished them all. Now I have to come up with a new batch before 27!
Lisa Rymer of Vero Beach News Weekly has been a part of my life for a few years now! She was one of the people in town that was always interested in what I was up to! When we ran into each other at the Wine, Women, and Shoes Event in Vero Beach a few weeks ago she mentioned showcasing my graphics biz! Clearly I was over the moon but I had no idea it was going to be a full page article! I love the way it came out – extremely honest. At first, I was nervous telling the tri-county area that I “didn’t know what I wanted to do at all 3 years ago” but so many people have been there and are still there, ya know? Anyway, the article is out and about floating around Vero Beach!
Hi! thanks for stopping by my blog! I'm a web design student at the moment moonlighting as a graphic designer. I'm blogging as fast as I'm learning things. I post pictures i like, new tricks I learn, photography and all that other jazz. I try to create most of my own posts and I will label them if the design was by me... although sometimes others inspire me too - but don't fret! I give credit where credit is due and if you use something from my design bubble here - I hope you do too.
