Designs, August 2010

Damsel Design was put on hiatis for the past month while I went travelling around UK & Canada. I was lucky enough to find some great inspiration for future designs, from the traditional English colours and themes, to quirky Canadian culture! Let's just say that the future designs of Damsel will be better, bolder and more beautiful than ever!

Before I departed however, I was working on some projects for a "We've Moved" cards to a business logo. The projects are now done and dusted, and I am so happy to see the finished product.

Design: We've Moved DL Cards
Description: Our good friends Kate & Jamie Baker have recently made a life-changing decision to relocate from the Mid North region to Eyre Peninsula region (both in South Australia). With three little kids in tow, they bid farewell to their family and friends from Long Plains and surrounds, to set up a new home in Poochera. Kate would agree that it was probably the biggest and challenging decision of their lives, but everyone that knows them would agree - if anyone could do it, the Baker family could do it! And that they have! The next challenge for Kate was telling all her friends and family, now over 500km away, where they can come to visit. And then Damsel Design steps in..., and the outcome: a Postcard design specially made to reflect the Bakers new home...


Design: Cafe Logo
Description: There are two reasons why I married my gorgeous husband Simon, 1) he's just gorgeous, and 2) his Mum is an amazing cook!! The gourmet delicacies of the wonderful Wendy Schulz is enough to make anyone a cake-a-holic! Just over 2 years ago, Wendy and her husband (my father-in-law!) Trevor decided to open up a Cafe in Balaklava, SA. The minute they first opened the doors, the Cafe was a hit with both locals and travellers passing through. Nobody can resist the delicious home-made food that Wendy and her super team are famous for, the Cafe has even been recognised on national radio after a traveller rang up to recommend the Cafe to anyone passing through! So with the business booming, Wendy came to Damsel Design a few months back with the idea to freshen up her branding image with a new logo. There were a few branding statements Wendy wanted to incorporate in the Cafe's logo: colour theme to be hot pink, and the silhouette of a coffee and cake. The final product:
