February Wrap-up
This has been a hectic week. If you follow me on twitter, you know I have been deeply entrenched in the Eggplant War. Who knew Eggplant (color) would be so difficult to define and match?! Trying to color match a piece of colored paper and an inkjet print-out to a color digital press printout has proved to be my biggest challenge as a freelance designer. The Eggplant War has given me a crash course in vendor diplomacy, a refresher in color theory, and reminder of Murphy’s Law. I have lost sleep, fallen behind schedule, and questioned my sanity. There have been many lessons learned. The most important? Large areas of dark, saturated color are NOT a good idea. I hope pray that my clients are pleased with the final product.
I am in the midst of creating invitation mock-ups using these gems. It’s starting to look like purple is the color of the year.
I have also made a concerted effort to participate in activities that were not work-related. Here are some quick shots to give you an idea of what I’ve been up to. There will be full posts later.

That’s my week in a nutshell. I’ll be back once I’ve caught up with work and sleep.

It’s amazing how much you learn on these projects. I feel like every invite we’ve designed has been a huge learning experience. I know the limitations of our Gocco, our letterpress and our printer. It’s amazing how much you learn when things screw up.
you’ve been one busy lady!
Oh, you got me! I’m still laughing about Eggplant. =)
