I absolutely adored London. It was big and dirty and scary. It has the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Churchill Museum (which I adored), the Brittish Museum (which was unfortunately filled to the brim with school kids). I loved the muffins and juice we got from the little cafe right nextdoor to the hostel we stayed in. I loved the fact that we were right across the road from Shepherds Bush station. I even adored how people got really narky when you didn’t stand to the right on the escalators but didn’t actually say anything to you until they managed to get past and then they’d only grumble and insult you under their breath. I loved being in the shadow of Big Ben. I loved walking through Regents Park even though Allison and I were trying to find London Zoo. I love how English people don’t know how to queue. London is fun.

This began life as a design for a friend’s photography business however it seemed to take on a life of it’s own and by the time I finished the logo, it was nothing like what we had discussed or where I had initially wanted the design to go. So, to that end, I created a “fake” business (my apologies to any real photography businesses called “Blue Lotus”, if you like this we can talk) and let the design speak for itself rather than trying to make it fit a completely different concept.
The above, of course, is the front of the business card. I achieved a sort of “cool zen” with the colours and the minimalist design.
Sorry Tam! Soooo not what I was thinking for Talisman Photography.
For the the first part of the assignment, we had to design a logo. The second part was designing stationary; A4 letterhead and and letterhead follower, compliment slip, business card and business envelope.
PS – Illustrator causes me no end of heartache!
Just getting back into the swing of things and practicing some new techniques in Photoshop. Almost got the painterly effect going (though that wasn’t the aim). Below you can see a picture of the after/before comparison. All the details as to the stock providers and a bigger version of this image can be found on my deviantART account, and the image “Nereid”.
