DESIGN Services :: LOGOS, Blog Design & More

 

Are you, by chance looking for a new logo for your business? Perhaps new business cards or a facelift for your blog?

A hand lettered art print with a saying that you choose?

I thought it was about time for a reminder of what I LOVE to do most. DESIGN WORK. You may not know this about me but I went to college in Los Angeles for Graphic Design, minored in Fashion Illustration and now have 25+ years of experience in the field. And still, after 25 years I still LOVE it just as much as the first day I fell in love with design, heck maybe even more now. ;)

I sometimes get so busy that I forget to update my folders on Facebook showcasing my latest design projects or sharing them here so I felt I needed to give you a quick update and share some of the latest work because I am always designing something. ;)

Like I mentioned I LOVE designing logos, which is probably one of my favorite things to do since it is the first step in your branding . . .ya know, your overall "packaging" of YOU, so I think it's important to have one you LOVE! That's what makes it so exciting! 

Here's a few of the latest LOGOS for some local clients and then one for a landscaping company in Orlando.

 

And a matching business card:

Do you sell items in an Etsy shop? I can design an Etsy banner for you along with custom listing & any other buttons/ graphics you may need.

 

 

 

 

Most of us have a blog and if you are finding that you would like to give your blog header & graphics a facelift, well . . . I can do that too for you. Or a major blog overhaul if you need. ;)

 

 

 

 

I also can do hand lettered art prints, calligraphy pieces, illustrations, etc.

 

Just ask if you need anything graphic-related . . . I would LOVE to help!

You can contact me at laura@eyecandycs.com for all the info and to reserve your space on my design schedule! ♥

I, of course, am still doing custom printable collections as well if you need one. Plus you can always check out my Etsy shop to see what I already have in there, ready to go.

Enjoy your day & thanks for being a FAN of me & my work! xoxo

{DESIGN SERVICES} custom Blog Design added

     

FINALLY! I can "officially" commit, announce . . . .that I am adding BLOG DESIGN to my design services that I offer you all!

I have been wanting to add it for sometime but I just didn't want to offer it until I felt like I had a schedule that would 'allow' for the time it takes to schedule & design them. I didn't want to give up designing/ styling parties, custom designs or my other graphic services so I waited until my schedule could be adjusted before adding them.
Plus I needed to do mine as one of the firsts! Ok - done! :)

So to those that have asked, and asked when would I be able to offer blog design,  . . . .the answer is YES, now - let's do it! And thank you for being patient.

As you can see, I have updated, re-designed my own here.

Here is the 'before' picture . . . 

And look at it now! =) I LOVE it - simpler, more streamlined but still keeping with my brand!

It's not that I disliked my old blog design but I wanted to update it as much as possible & I feel now it's getting there. I still am "tweaking" all the pages under the tabs at the top BUT I do have info under all of them now, until I can implement some more ideas to it. ALWAYS a work 'in progress' right?

I have a few blog designs in the works already from clients and will be sharing them with you as they are completed. 

One of the blog designs I finished up right before mine, was for Cineca over at Dreamin 'N Details. I forgot to take a screen shot of her "before" but here's what it looks like now! 

I have a few blog designs in the works already from clients and will be sharing them with you as they are completed. 

Are you needing some BLOG work done? Maybe just a facelift? Please feel free to email me at laura@eyecandyeventdetails.com & I can get a custom quote right back to you.

I LOVE custom work. I LOVE graphic design, so if you ever want to know about any of the graphic services I offer, just ask! OR you can click on the tab above that says "GRAPHIC DESIGN" here on my blog & I have items listed that I can do.

My experience: I have over 20+ years IN the industry! I studied Graphic Design + more in college & all jobs in DESIGN my entire life - ranging from various advertising agencies, newspaper, yellow pages, & retail advertising companies to being an instructor at a local college. 
My freelance has included everything from corporate client work to small rock bands - I pretty much have designed a little bit of everything over my years.

One more thing, if you have been thinking about having a few DESIGN elements done, like say you need a logo AND a new blog header, contact me first as I can give you a lil discount if you get more than one service. :) Just my little way to help.
 

If you would like to see EXAMPLES of my work, please visit my FB page & check out my photo albums for what I have designed. I will be adding more finished designs to the albums there over the course of the next couple of weeks, so I hope you will check it out & let me know what you think!

Hope to work with you soon! Have a great night! xoxo

{DEBUT} my NEW Blog Design

SURPRISE!

My latest project! MY new BLOG DESIGN!

I am so THRILLED to FINALLY debut my new design for my blog! I have been wanting to do it for sometime but I always put everyone else's work in front of what I want to do. But I figured if I am going to start offering BLOG DESIGN  then I needed to do mine as one of the firsts! 

Here is the 'before' picture . . .

And look at it now! =) Everyone say YAAAAAAAAAAY!

It's not that I disliked my old blog design but I wanted to update, streamline & clean it up as much as possible & I feel now it's getting there. I still am working on all the pages for the tabs at the top BUT I was too excited to wait.

I have a few blog designs in the works already from clients but will be posting info soon detailing the service. Feel free to email me before I post that if you like.

So what do you think? I would love to know . . .
