Gigi's business card --first drafts. Work in progress

Gigi, HERE ARE TWO BUSINESS CARDS. I did more. But was not happy with them. I chose an orange brown because classy, grounded and deep like you! I decided to play with FR>EN although it was the subtitle of your own design. I made it the name of your "company". Let me know if you like them. And don't forget to brief me. I design blind.
PS: I now understand your choice of fleur de lys for the card you designed!

What can I do with this?

I did this tonight. What could I use it for?

something

blue blood

"I AM THE VAMPIRE LESTAT. I'M IMMORTAL. MORE or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire -these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not."


Since I was a young girl, I've had a passion for vampires -and science fiction.
I discovered Anne Rice when i first arrived in the US. I read all her vampire serie in a few weeks. Thanks to her writing I improved my English quite quickly.
This reading marathon was awesome.
My favorite volume was "The Queen of the Damned".

I need more fonts.

PS: I created this with my picture but borrowed (obviously) on line a pix for Lestat.

disapointment

My main mean of expression

I wish I knew when I was young how important dance was in my life. I would have pursued a career in that direction. Even if it was to give up a few years later.
I seem to only realize now what really makes me happy.

You laid me bare

A broken heart

Iliade

I'll do a design with it.

Moma, Richard Serra

Took the girls to Moma to see Richard Serra's exhibition. Got in free with my student SVA pass. Great!

Paris Beach/Paris La Plage

My latest painting. Don't know what I can do with it in term of design. Same as with the other ones. Any ideas?
In "real life" (!) the colors of this painting are much nicer. Here it looks sad.
Paris in the summer is beautiful. And I love the beach on the river.
Don't know how to take a better pix of my paintings. I need a better camera I guess. Anybody knows someone who could take professional pix of my paintings?

A midsummer night's dream

yes I know the typo sucks. As well as the positioning of the text! I'll work on it!

no summer of love

This one was treaky in terms of typography. The background (flowery) could make the design look "cheezy" --like the Hallmarks cards.
Don't know about the color of the typo.
FYI: this design is a combination of 3 pix I took, and I drew on top of it.Done in Photoshop.

no money

je suis parceque je reve

I had fun playing with this concept of design. When I started drawing on it and adding my pix of flowers, I got a kick out of it. When i was younger I was passionate about science fiction and fantasy. Manon 's face emerging from flowers and from a wall in Soho looks surreal. It stimulates my imagination. It could be the beginning of a short novel. I'd like to tap more into that side of me. (the fantastic). I stay too close to the ground. I need some e-le-va-tion.
