Dreams By Design Re-Branding: Banner Design

Being a modern-day art student, I spent the greater part of my Friday night designing. It was miraculous, really. At 5 p.m. I was laying on my couch feigning off a nap, and next thing I knew it was five hours later and I had completed 3 logo designs and 4 banner designs.

My color palette began as:
Coral: #EECDB9
Teal: #DCEFE9
Grey: #CBC3BE

But as I was designing, I dropped they grey and stuck with black because I preferred the way it popped.

       






What's really frustrating about uploading for Etsy is that they only support 72dpi. No matter what format or how I save my images, the banner and logo will always look terrible and pixelated.

Omega Master To-Do List

My ideas for my omega project are all over the place, so I decided I need to put them all here haphazardly and then come back and reorganize them into a proper ordering. I do terribly apologize for the craziness about to follow.

Create New Designs: All the prints I have posted in my shop are black and white and boring all over. I'm making sales, but if I were to make them more eye-catching I think I could sell many more.

Find a Printer: It is difficult to find time to print orders and run them off to the post office. If I were to suddenly begin to get even more orders, it would be much more difficult to keep up with. If I can use an off-site printer to process the orders for me, it would exponentially cut down on my work.

Experiment With Different Papers & Sizing: I've been printing on bright white matte photo paper. I'd really love to experiment with other types of textures and see what works and what doesn't. I'll need to find an off-site printer that offers different paper options.

Dreams by Design Complete Rebranding: the pink & creme and chevron isn't really working for me anymore. DBD needs a clearer logo and a more effective banner and color scheme.

I can do this!

Social Media Clean-Up

As part of my omega and my official transition into the "real world," my social media sites will need a bit of a check up. I did a quick google search of my name and my social media aliases to find where I am. In addition to making sure all the sites are clean and free of inappropriate content, it's important that all my social media profiles contain the same information and work together to cast me in a positive light.
