Quick Gift Wrapping Paper

Quick Gift Wrapping Paper




I used my inkjet printer to create a quick and easy gift wrapping paper. Instead of printing on a plain white paper I chose Ivory Parchment Paper. Its texture and ivory color gives a better result than the normal white paper. I was looking for something different and that's why I went with this.


 


Before printing, I took a moment to look at my own patterns. It'd been two since I started creating patterns and sold them so I have a huge library with many patterns to choose from. However, there is a specific style and color I was looking for.




Choosing the suitable patterns, I printed them and cut off the white borders (if there is any). Then, I brought my small box and wrapped it with the printed A4 paper. Since it was a small box I didn't need bigger paper. When I was done, I decorated with a white paper (I just cut a stripe from the white paper and wrapped it around the wrapping paper) and a metallic blue and gold ribbon. 



And this is the way to wrap a small gift box quickly at home!

New Logo Design

Logo Design 




About a week ago I got an order for a new logo design. The moment I ended the phone call I started the brainstorming process. Certainly, I took notes when I talked to the customer writing snippets as I asked questions. Those snippets were what helped me during the designing process. When I first began working on logos I found myself not knowing exactly what to ask and what to keep on mind. I used to ask few questions that when I began working on the logo I realized that I didn't ask enough questions to enable me to work precisely. With time I knew exactly what I needed to do when a customer approaches me. 




To be honest, logos were a huge obstacle to me in the past. Although I practiced graphic design since the late 90s but I never worked professionally. I took it as a mere hobby. That's why when I decided to open up my own graphic design studio I had to learn everything from the start. Never in my life did I create a whole image or design myself instead I used to trace and copy other images. But since opening my small business I learned how to create my own designs and drawings. It wasn't easy at first but now I find it a lot easier.

Personal App Icons



This is my first time sketching an app icon. 
I had the idea weeks ago but didn't implement it until about two days ago. 
I know my coloring technique isn't superb but I wanted to experiment a little and evaluate my overall drawing and coloring skills. I think I improved a little but need more work for sure.

Artista on TV!!



About a month ago,  I appeared on TV for the first time ever.
The preparations took about a week and during that time I was more than terrified!
I wasn't sure about the duration of the interview itself, but wasn't about to cancel my appearance no matter what. I think being on TV is the hardest thing one can experience. That's why I wanted to try it.


So, the interview went on about my hobbies and my business.
Will translate it to English on one of my future posts.

Here is the link to the original video:

New Card Designs



A while ago I designed, and printed greeting cards for Ramadan. 
I created several colors including green, red, purple, and blue.




It's not my first time creating greeting cards since I did few before. 
One of my friends requested me to create greeting cards for Eid and since then
I found it easy creating them.

52degrees

Our new section in 52degrees.





Since the beginning of this month I started displayed some of my printed products in a Kuwaiti department store called '52degrees'. I have a very long way to go especially that I'm obliged to create new designs every month that'll show my graphic designs skills. With this I believe I reached most of my goals which is truly great.



So far my items consist of mugs, t-shirts, party supply boxes, bags, pens, and stationery boxes. Lately, I displayed some cards for Ramadan designed by me using Ramadan Lamps (known as Fanous). Since I'll be away for three weeks I won't be able to design and print new creations. Once I'm back I will, though.
