Lady Saint's Styledelphia Part IX

Jess has asked me to create business cards for the company - now that opening is in a week! She has approved & is totally stoked with how they came out! After looking at that tarnished, yellowish paper on the bold red & tan background, I grew sick of it - too fast. So i re directed the whole idea. Keeping it the same, but updating it, to a cleaner & softer touch. After all, this is a MAKEUP & STYLE academy! I LOVE how they came out & can't wait for them to be printed!!

Lady Saint's Styledelphia Part VIII

Here goes WEEK 2 of the philadelphia paper ad's! This week was posted in the Philadelphia Weekly! The AD came out BEAUTIFUL! Nice & bright, as compared to the week before. HOWEVER, there is ONE THING that is TERRIBLE! I blame it 1000% on myself, as I was re-writing the copy to fit. THERE IS A SPELLING ERROR!! :( I caught it, the DAY that it was sent out for print! I tried so very had to get them to take the new version, but it was all too late. Moral of the story, ALWAYS CHECK , DOUBLE & TRIPLE CHECK YOUR WORK!! And to show it to someone to proof read!!! It was a VERY important lesson, and it will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!! sheesh!!!

Lady Saint's Styledelphia Part VII

TODAY, I WAS PUBLISHED! haha! Well, I wouldn't go THAT far, BUT for the very first time, MY DESIGN was printed in a city wide news paper! It's a pretty big deal for a small time freelance designer such as myself! I could not be more thrilled!!!

The images from the actual printed version are a TAD too dark for my liking. So i'll remember for 2 weeks from now, to brighten it up a bit! It feels really insane, to see something that I did printed in a paper. As you can tell, i am VERY EASILY entertained :)

Lady Saint's Styledelphia Part VI

The full, complete website is now LIVE!! We made it live last night, in honor of our PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY AD's & CITY PAPER AD's that will be in papers NEXT WEEK! We could not be more thrilled with how smooth & clean the site is! I am a designer who is always very hard on myself, and believe that a design is never finished - I love this site, but feel as if there could be lot's more added to it, design wise. This will definitely do for now! Visit www.styledelphia.com to see the full, working site. Here are a few screen shots to give you the design aesthetic we went with!
