Runner Up!

Well, I received some lovely news on Friday. One of the designs I had entered for the Tigerprint Contemporary Florals Competition was chosen as a runner up! Such great news, and a great start to the new year. Congrats to the winner and the other runners up as well. Their work is fab. Well done.

Here's what the judges had to say about my design...'This design has a softer floral and less contemporary feel than perhaps some of the other entries. However it makes a lovely range of designs which demonstrate Elizabeth's great style which is commercially viable to Marks & Spencer.'

Thank you Tigerprint! Go check out the winning design and runners up...http://tigerprint.typepad.com/tigerprint/2011/01/contemporary-floral-results.html

Hope ya having a good day! x

Tigerprint - Contemporary Florals Competition

Woweee, two posts in one day! I am on a roll! I entered the latest Tigerprint competition - Contemporary Florals - though my computer decided to crash on me (obviously not use to working so hard, especially after the Christmas break) just as I was about to email. I hope they were still able to accept the entries after deadline time...But if not, it was fun to get back into again. So, here they are...what do you think? x

Tigerprint Surface Pattern Comp

Entered these designs into the Tigerprint Surface Pattern Comp, I had actually been working on these before the competition came up, so was quite a nice coincidence.

Tigerprint Beautiful Traditional Card

The designs above are the entries for the Tigerprint Beautiful Traditional Card competition - felt they would work on cards for Birthdays, Mother's Day, Thank You or blank. In order of appearance the ladies are entitled - 'Suzanne', 'Rebecca', 'Mia' & 'Anastasia' (after the special ladies in my life - friend, sister, niece & lil mum).

Well, the New Year has begun and am already feeling inspired. Have this weekend planned to throw out at least 4 designs...bit behind on my ideal to complete a design a week; second week into the new year already and have just mainly played around rather than complete. Oops. Still enjoying being in the States, next stop after Kansas it is back to NYC for 6 weeks. Have had amazing experiences along the way and some simple encounters that have brought about some amazing opportunities...the journey continues and I'm hopeful for more amazing times ahead. Let's go...

Runner up...!

Well, I received some very lovely news this morning, one of the designs I had entered for the Tigerprint notebook competition came runner up! I am very pleased and greatly encouraged by this.

Here is the judge's comment: "This entry demonstrated a lovely balance of colour with great editorial and typography. Very stylish!"

On to the next design...!!

Designs for Notebook Competition

I have been working on some designs for the Tigerprint competition to design the cover of a notebook, and above are the designs.

I have used words to describe what us ladies love & like to do, highlighting in pink the letters to make up the word 'NOTES'.

I envisaged the notebook to be hardback, with a coordinated elastic or ribbon tie to help hold those little pieces of paper we tend to accumulate inside (either around the middle of the notebook or on the side). The inside cover of the notebook would have the pattern faded through, and perhaps as a background on the notepaper too. Maybe have a section of lined and a section of plain paper, divided by a ribbon; and perhaps a section entitled 'TO DO' that could have a colour tab on the edge of the page.
