Logo Designs

Today's post feature 2 of my latest logo designs.
The one is for Boesmanland Trading, a small company that sells firewood, firelighters and other related products. I liked working on this project and I had so much fun drawing and putting together the pattern  of the little characters in the background.

The second logo is for a new small company called Daily Bread. They are putting together convenient, healthy lunch options to enjoy in the comfort of your office. Together with physical sustenance they also give thanks to the Lord. The have gourmet sandwiches, wraps, juices and other healthy snacks to offer. They also donate some of the money to help the less fortunate to a meal. How can you not be inspired by this!

Logo Design

I recently did a logo design for a farm, The Jacaranda Farms Trust, outside Villiersdorp where I live. This was a challenging and intimidating job maybe because I couldn’t use swirls and pretty patterns :-))

I had so much fun with this project that once I started I couldn’t stop! I learned so much during this process and that always is very rewarding! In the end I was very satisfied with the outcome and the client loved it! Featured below is the logo design and letterhead design.

Wedding Table Numbers

When deciding on table numbers for your wedding it is always best to keep in mind that it must be big enough for everyone to see but still pretty and fit in with your table decor. You don't want your guests to look everywhere for which table they are seated and be confused!

These easy and plain table numbers I make is practical and affordable. What's not to love! The paper it is printed on and the design is in the same style, look and colours of the rest of your stationery. It then slides into a painted wooden block and voila! It's plain and elegant with a slight rustic element.

The wooden blocks are available to hire (Western Cape only) for only R10 each. Collection and return not included.

New Design: Square Pocket Invitation

I want to share with you this recent invitation design I did.

It is a stunning idea or variation to the traditional square invitation. The invite is printed on a separate card that is inserted into a pocket/sleeve.

For this specific invitation the bride chose a natural textured paper with no printing on the pocket. But it will look amazing with a soft pattern printed on both sides so you can see it behind the insert as well as on the flap it slides into.

This bride even included a magnetic strip on the back so guests can put it on their fridge as a reminder of when to rsvp, what to get for a gift and also to make reservations.

This stunning invitation and pocket slides easily into an envelope to send to guests via post, but looks just as beautiful when delivered by hand without an envelope. So you can save money and just order the exact number of envelopes you need.

Wedding Newspapers

Wedding newspapers are a big trend at weddings. It can be handed out to your guests before the church ceremony and give them all the necessary info they need for the day. You can include the songs they are singing in the church, who is part of the bridal party, the seating arrangement for the reception, the menu, the thank you messages and any other special message or even a pop quiz you would like to include.

Not only is it practical but it will save you money, as you won’t have to print all the different elements like menus and table seating cards separately, as it is all included in a stunning designed newspaper.

The best option to go for is an A3 newspaper folded to A4, but when printed in black and white it looks even more like a newspaper but with a nostalgic touch.
