Business Card Overhaul

Breaking with tradition, I used a template provided by Unique Creativity to tweak and have new business cards designed for my law practice.  Many thanks to Unique Creativity for sharing this resource.  I am very pleased with the outcome and like the glossy finish.  I can just feel the fresh air blowing through my hair when I whip out my new card. Here they are. What do you think?:

Lent I: Laetare

During Lent we make visible the veils behind which we live year round. We take comfort in our sorrow; we crawl beneath the folds and take a respite from outward appearances. If done right, we can quietly rejoice.

Trying AddThis

OK, Maybe I am a little behind on web content, but I did discover AddThis today, and I love it.  The share locations are generous, and I think I will be using this Share bar (above) to supplement the Squarespace Share feature below. 

Starry Night Interactive

When I saw this interactive animation using an openFrameworks application and produced by Petros Vrellis, I felt like I was living inside the night van Gogh painted.  Since Starry Night is my favorite all-time painting, it just can't get better than this.   

Chant to the Blue Moon

 Can't you just hear the lapping sound of the waves chanting to the blue moon?

I created this image in iPad iDraw, a great portable vector program, and tweeked the textures, lighting and cropping in Photoshop.  

Why I Live In The South (other than the fact I was born there)

Somnolent scent of white flower frangrance and lemon.  The creamy white color spiked with yellow and burgundy on dark green leaves.  The curvaceous lines of this masterpiece of a blossom.  No steel magnolia for me. Only the real thing.  Elegance, charm, warmth and honesty from my flowers and people, please.  The magnolia says it all and symbolizes the sheer depth of Southern beauty.  Enough said, huh?

Meaningful Text: Rose

There are some colors I have always had a hard time defining, like the rose in the photograph below.  At first glance this rose can appear to be white, but upon closer inspection you can see lots of pink and cream.  Pale, pale coral?  A tinge of pink and a tinge of yellow?  Exquisite, whatever the color may be.  So beautiful it inspired me to create a rose pattern, which is what you see at the top of this post. 

From the photograph you see above I created a pattern and used it to fill the word "Rose" created with the font Impact.  I played around with the layer blending, and here is what I came up with.  It is what I call Meaningful Text, and it is a nice feature to use in logos.  It is also a lovely way to keep forever roses given to me by a wonderful and thoughtful man.
