Moonlighting in Graphic Design

Welcome

To the online home for all my creative pursuits. Including, but not limited to: photography, scrapbooking, being down with G.O.D., home arts/renovation, cooking and loving my Vitamix, other general inspirations, confessions and random blathering. Served up with a healthy portion of everyday (mis)adventures in new motherhood and Mary Poppins mania. Thanks for stopping by. I "heart" your comments.

Guilty as charged...

I moonlight as an amateur graphic designer.

Actually - that's way too fancy a title.

How about this... I get hired to play with Photoshop and create ads and various marketing pieces with the photos I take for my clients.

That's more like it.

My current employer is this uber chic clothing botique called Gracie...

Here are a few shots I took of the outside of the store a couple weeks ago...

Cute, right?

Wellll.... it's even cuter on the inside. Not to mention, the clothing and accessories they sell are so so fab...

I'm a lucky girl just to be involved... what can I say.

Anyway - here's what I do... I get to dream up photo shoots with the owner (hi Diane!!!) and go out and take photos like this...

Which I then use Photoshop trickery to create ads for magazines and newspapers that look like this...

photos like this...

become this two sided mailer celebrating the shop's 1 year birthday!

these...

become this back to school ad...

images like this...

make this...

and this...

becomes this...

Anyway... it really is a marvelous job.

Just thought I'd share some of the things I've been up to!

Oooh!

And one more thing - check out Gracie on Facebook!

Give em the ol' thumbs up for moi!

xoxo
