Proudly South African


Anton Von Wouw Laerskool is holding a Verefees.
Naturally, I was asked to create the invite.
The theme was Chic-Shebeen.

My initial thought was to create a label on a Castle Lager Bottle, or even a Black Label bottle. But it is a laerskool. So that wouldn't fly.

My second thought was to take elements that are very South African. Thus the food labels and the Proudly South African logo. The school has decided to use my design. But I need to change the wording a bit.

Pre-Launch Party

For our VIP's, we are inviting them to a special pre-launch party. 
My boss wants a carnival type theme. So I thought the invites should be like tickets that you would buy to go the carnival. Because this is for the Pre-Launch, I decided to make this ticket look more elegant to show exclusivity. 
I'm waiting on confirmation to see whether or not it is acceptable. But at the moment, I like it. So here it is. 


EDIT. 12 APRIL 2012
I had to change the invite to include the logos. Silly me. How dare I forget to add the logos. So here is the new invite. 


EDIT. 23 APRIL 2012


The event has passed and a thank you note had to be done.


Spelling Nazi

This was sitting in my inbox this morning. I was CC'd in because when the price list arrives, it is most likely my baby.

Hi Lizette, Hope u had great weekend
We are still waiting for the prices on all that stock we must sor out
Pls advise? Sandy

Dear Manager (Sandy),

I would like to advise you on Email Etiquette.

Firstly, don't use abbreviations like 'u' or 'plz'. It isn't very professional. Type out the whole word so the reader knows what you are referring to, because not everybody is 'chat-speak' literate. Its also irritating. Save it for your personal messages.

Secondly, spell check is your friend. Use it. And if Spell Check can't help you, there are on-line dictionaries to help you with your spelling dilemma.

Finally, use the ENTER key. Reading flows better when you paragraph.

Regards,
Natasha


Recycle?

I was charged with creating a recycling poster. This was what I came up with. I thought that I would for start use an image of recycled paper, and then add everything on top of that. I started with the world, and with the arrow that states you are here. As in you live on this world, as do I. We should all be working to save our home. The place where you are. I added a section on recycling in the newsletter.



Mad Tea?

This design is for my mom's 50th birthday party. We are throwing a surprise tea party for her. I originally thought a Mad Hatter tea. But its so common, especially since the Alice in Wonderland movie that Tim Burton created. So then I pondered on a vintage high tea kind of theme. 
This was the result for the invite. I then wrapped this in a doily, and tied ribbon around it. I will add a photo later. 


Easter Greetings

The following two Easter designs I was sent from Tiro Outsourcing and Vusela. Tiro has a logo of the Easter Island heads, so the design was simple. However, Vusela being a security company was somewhat more of a challenge. It required a corporate look and something that wasn't too eastery as was their original design done by their marketing manager. She designed a typical easter bunny and easter egg with greeting type of format. I eventually decided to simply add ears to their logo and add a border. They were very happy with both designs.
