lemonade & spearmint | color
Thursday, July 2, 2009 at 12:36PM Each time I am in the grocery store, I find myself going towards the magazine aisle. Don't get me wrong, this selection wasn't anything to boast about, but I did find myself there. I like to thumb through the pages and see what kind of things pop out at me, artisitically.
Even though I am happily married, have been for eight years which I am still trying to figure out where the time has gone, I picked up a bridal magazine. Well, I can actually say that I can still pick it up since my sister is getting married a little over a year from now. Gotta get her some ideas!!! On to the real reason for picking it up... They always have great images or designs. You can get great inspiration from someone's weddings, whether it be a theme or style. And while all of those really jumped out at me, it was the photography and the color inspirations that it gave me. They talked about the color trends that are really popular right now. The one's that can go with each season. They all seemed gorgeous, but for some reason my eye kept going to lemonade and spearmint.
I mulled on it for days. Trying to think of something that would be interesting. Something that could make for a great design, until i sat down again with that same magazine and saw elements that just screamed out to me. One's that would be great to incorporate. And along with that came these colors. Finally I decided to scetch what I was seeing and thinking, and believe me, I hate scetching out designs. I would rather jump to the creating then the brainstorming anyday. You can ask my prof's from college, that's of course if they still remember me? But for some reason this time it worked. I was able to plan and idea of what I wanted. A basis for a complete thought.
And here it is!! It's a 5x5 promo card for someone who is just starting out and wanting to build their portfolio. This is just one piece in a large marketing collection that I have in the works. And just for the fun and the preview of it, the first 25 comments 50 comments on this post will be able to get this template FREE!!
Now kids, I'll be out of town starting tomorrow afternoon, but I'll be back Sunday night. I'll send you the file within 24 hours of your post, but if for some reason I take longer, well I'm sorry and I hope you understand.
Here's the front if you would like to see it better:
Here's the back:
It may take me a little while, but as I said earlier I am in the process of creating a large marketing packet. Business card, pricing sheet, you name it. And speaking of naming it, I would love a little help in ideas of the things you can't find in a marketing packet that you would like to see. Who know's, I may just give you that item free. Oh, and don't forget to fill in your email addy. I have to know where to send the template too!!!

Excellent job, though.

Something that I think you could add to your marketing packet is a sheet of business cards with your logo and the ability for you to add an image of the clients session. They can give those out as wallets and you get your name out there! I like getting those from the photographers, because I get free wallets and they get free exposure!
