A Family That Travels Together....

A Family that Travels Together...
                                          ..... Stays Together!

Ok so this might not be an actual saying, but I think it should. I LOVE traveling and I hope to pass that love of culture and adventure and excitement in my daughters. Which is why I was super excited to be able to design a little Logo/Blog Header and Photo Watermark for a friend of mine who will be documenting their family travels and adventures together on her new blog A Funky Family Travels.

I can not wait to see where the wind will take this cute little family and I am so excited for the amazing memories their daughter will be able to cherish forever!

ENJOY!

Journey in KOPS

Happy Tuesday!!! I hope you are having a wonderful summer. I know I am. My girls and I have been busy filling our summer full of fun adventurous and new experiences.

BUT I did want to take time to share with you a fun little Logo I worked on recently for a lovely new client. She works with a group of ladies dedicated to their Journey in Keeping Off Pounds Simply. I love her enthusiastic spirit and encouragement for the people she works with. Helping them maintain a healthy lifestyle and sticking to their achievement of loosing those pesky unwanted pounds.

EJNOY and may you all continue to have wonderful adventures this summer!!!

Boys will be boys!!

Yes, boys will be boys. And I LOVE it! I had such a fun time taking photos with this wonderful young family and their 3 boys. So full of energy, life, and a million and one awesome facial expressions!

I was grinning from ear to ear as I edited these images because I came across so many wonderful silly little boy faces. And each one more precious than the next. This is what taking photos with kids is all about. Not capturing the pristine, perfect, still images that we so often would like to see in our children; but rather capturing these memories of who they are and how their cute, silly, little grins can just melt your heart!

Yep, this family is just too cute and I have loved getting to watch them grow both in number and more in love with each other over the years. Thanks again for letting me be a part of your family memory making and enjoy all the crazy smiles these boys bring into your lives!!

ENJOY!

Something New!!!

Something Old. Something New. Something Borrowed. Something Yellow!?!?!?!?!

Yes, that is right, did you notice? We have a new look! Many of you who know me personally know that I have a deep love of the color green. Which has been a part of my logo for a long time. BUT after 10, yes TEN, years this summer that I have been in business here at tÜsdé productions I thought it was high time I updated my look a bit.

Something Old:
Yes, my something old is the name of course. I may be changing my look but I am not changing my name. So here is a little history of my company name for my something Old. I LOVE to dance, and when I was first learning to dance the best night was Tuesday!! Then a few years later I was living and working in Germany and my day off was Tuesday. See a trend?? Tuesday quickly became one of my favorite days and when I was in design school this word served as the template for many a class project. The Ü and the é of course are throwbacks to the various languages I encountered during my two years spent in Europe.

Something New:
A new look is not complete without a new font group. Yes it is true I am a font nerd!!! I wanted a clean simple look for my business update and these fonts did the trick. Simple. Elegant. FUN!

Something Borrowed:
Ok, so not really borrowed but more of an image that holds many good memories in my life. This would be the little bird in my logo. I love birds, grew up with two little parakeets when I was a child and have always liked the image that the Lord takes care of the birds of the air, so how much more will He take care of me? It is an image of comfort and strength for me. This bird version is similar to the previous but with a little clean up and simplification.

Something YELLOW!
Ok, we are finally getting down to the root of the new look here. Yellow, and grey, and fun zig-zags.. oh my! As I was contemplating this new design look I thought back to the first few times I knew I wanted to be an artist. I have many fond memories of when I was a small child taking art classes at our local community center or with a dear artist friends of ours. The one project that stands out in my mind is a little yellow house I did with oil pastels. It was framed and hung up in a small art gallery for a while and as a child of 5 or 6 I thought this was SO AMAZING!! Yellow was my favorite color as a kid and it is with this new look that I am making a little nod back to where it all began. Plus it is a super fun, crisp, fresh, happy color!!!

So there you go. It has been an amazing 10 years with my little business. I am grateful for all the wonderful clients and friends I have made along the way and I can not wait to see what the next 10+ years will bring!!

ENJOY!!
