Queen of Consignment

0 comments

This is a hugely exciting project. One of my coworkers is going it alone and starting her own business.
A consignment store in Vancouver! We were all very happy for her and were looking for ways to help her with this endeavor. Another coworker and myself offered to help her with her branding.
She was looking for something "ageless, timeless, feminine, classy, chic, elegant, eclectic, glamorous, unique, fun." She was also looking to keep the colours to a minimum, that way it would be "less expensive to reproduce business cards, signs, etc." 'Simplicity' was another keyword she used. (Let me say this : it is so nice when the people you do work for actually know how to verbalize their needs.)
The other lady did the script and I added the graphic and put it all together.
Oh, one more thing:  the future Consignment Queen graciously modeled for me so she would have an original graphic she can relate to. This is a first version. Let's see how she likes it.
Personally, I am pretty happy! :-D

Helpline Operator

 "[...]
I'm the helpline operator & I'll spare you the time.
I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine.

Put your tongue into the mouthpiece
And whisper in my ear.
Admit to me
the things you can't admit to yourself.
Admit to me & no one else
Everybody's looking for someone
to tell them what they want to hear.
Everybody's looking for true love
To help them feel what they cannot feel.

I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time.
I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine.


True love will come."

Coming Home!

Just came home from that awesome trip. Had a lot of fun. Ate the most delicious food, exercised like a mad woman, sat in the hot tub and frequented every coffee shop in "the village". *Sigh*

Did miss those cats of mine, though...
