Welcome to my Zibbet shop!

Look, I'm going to be truly honest here... Etsy is a great source of graphic design customers and I love each and every one of you. But the site admin's are infants and not much is getting done in the way of designer support. So why not expand?



What is that saying.. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

Thanks for looking and if you've tried it, please comment or convo/email me.

Let's play catch up!

So of course I've been busy, busy, busy! Finishing up my business logo class and planning my next educational foray. I have just purchased Adobe Illustrator so expectations are high and graphics are being designed! This is my latest idea that was spawned by the fabulous logo I made for J.Edwards Images.


Creating these swirly birds is really fun! I also plan on doing some paisley and other shapes soon.

Thanks for looking/reading!

In other news...

If you have been keeping up w/my life, (which incidentally I'm not even doing!!! ) lol I am almost done taking a business course in logo design and I challenged myself by picking my own shop to make a logo for. Did I mention that I HATE making things for myself and I wish I'd known this beforehand. Please take a look at the final draft that I am currently using for PW Ads.
Pretty snazzy, eh? I've started making all of my own clip art and I incorporated this into my new logo. I learned a lot in my new class;

1. I don't EVER want to work in corporate America.2. People on Etsy have very different logos than people off Etsy.
3. I need to rush out and buy a different design program than Adobe Photoshop if I want a serious career in this field.
4. I need a new computer, (see above).
5. Online classes rock! It's the only way I'll ever go back to school.
What next? I'm thinking about taking a legalities class so I can waste my time spouting off copyright info. and getting angry w/people for violating other people's rights. Just kidding, I hate that cr*p! Just think this would be an interesting class and help me write my TOU's and sign over rights to other people for graphics, logos, etc. Learning is fun! Boy, never thought I'd say that☺

Latest graphic design news...

Hey all my fabulous friends! I've been working really hard on my business logo design class and here are some of the examples I came up for my own biz.

This last one is going to end up on my biz cards, but I wasn't too thrilled overall. I think it's really hard to create a logo for yourself and I probably would hire someone if I needed one. As it is I have a TON of images I have created and love, so I'm cool for now.

Here's some more new...



Enjoy!
