Naturally if my husband needs his business logo redesigned, I would be the one to do it!  It had been about 10 years since I'd done the previous logo, so it was time for some freshening up!  Being that the business name is so long, my solution was to stack the words on top of each other - keeping everything nice and compact.  Of course with the new logo came new polo shirts!   What a great excuse to give Harry, our child #2, a little modeling job!

When I started this blog, the intent was mainly to showcase some of my graphic design projects as well as photography I've done more recently. But I thought I would stray for a moment and share some of my artwork from college. These are a few excerpts from my sketchbook when I attended Iowa State University's Rome Study Abroad Program in the fall of 1998.  My sketchbook served as a sort of "illustrated" journal of my travels throughout Italy.  I saw many great works of Italian art as well as architecture.  I have highlighted a few of these sketches alongside the original artwork/architecture they were sketched from.  Thanks for perusing!

Misti Munson, owner of Sassy Cat Kitty Care, came to me in need of a logo for her new business.  
Her vision was to have a cat be a part of her logo and to have the cat's tail form the "S" in "Sassy". 
Misti also wanted the cat in the logo to resemble her own cat, Sylvester, so we added the white spot on her tummy.  
We were both very pleased with the end result!
