Custom thank you cards for Made by Martel

I learnt something new this week. I LOVE drawing rainbows! Who knew. It’s not something I’ve spent a ton of time drawing really until Nicole from @madebymartel and I connected about her logo. She had an adorable drawing she wanted turned into a logo. So I sat down with my iPad and Apple Pencil and started drawing in procreate. I drew a ton because it was so fun. I pick my favourite 4 and sent them to Nicole and this is the result of the one she resonated with the most. I’m t...otally partial but I think it’s so cute! Nicole, thank you so much for trusting me with your logo! I’m looking forward to working with you more! * * * #logodesign #keepitsimple #shopwinnipeg #smallbusinesssupportingsmallbusiness #womenentrepreneur #businesswoman #femalerunbusiness #elmgraphicdesign #abobeillustrator #handdrawn #winnipegdesigner #supportlocal #local #smallbusiness #shopsmall #branding #freelance #logos #logodesigner #procreate #logodesign #brand #vector #designer #rainbowlogo #graphicdesigner #drawing #creative #logo #graphicdesign

I am loving this logo! I enjoyed drawing the wheat so much! I am so grateful to all my recent clients who have fallen in love with our combined vision for their logos! I can't wait to see this one out in real life! Huge thank you to Krista at @prairierootdesigns for reaching out & trusting me with her logo!

When you hear things like "I’m over the moon for these!!", "It’s exactly how I imagined it to look like, so talented!" & " It’s incredible." You can't help but smile! I have THE best clients! I don't take your trust for granted. I love getting to help businesses build logos & marketing they love and are excited to use!

It can be hard to stop working on a logo. It often feels like there are more tweaks that could be made but perfect doesn't exist. Doing a million small revisions doesn't always pay off. Sometimes it's better to step away, take a breather, go for a walk & come back, sleep on it. Make sure elements are correctly aligned, the text is legible, the contrast is enough, and space gives the design features room to breathe. Live with it for a while. Nothing is written in stone when it comes to logos. Revisions and edits can always be made down the road.

Anyone else find calligraphy mesmerizing? I love it!

Hey are you a small business? Are you struggling right now because of covid? Do you have ads, a website or posts that need help but your not in a position to invest? Or need gift cards made so you can sell them now to help you get through? I want to help! I’ve built my business over the last 13 years working with small business. I love it because I know personally the little happy dance that happens every time you land a new customer or make a new sale! Times are weir...d right now ans if I can lend a hand in helping any other small businesses make it through I’d be honoured. So here’s my thought, let’s trade! Pop me a message anytime and we can work out a trade or swap that works! #smallbusinesssupportingsmallbusiness #wellgetthroughthis

I got to team up with @janellesilverhague for another fun project. I love the branding we worked on. She’s going to have these little cards displayed with some of her oils. So guests can check out the QR code and head straight to her IG account. Super convenient!

Big thank you to everyone who’s reached out from my last post!! I am really excited to work with some of you! Feel free to scroll back to my last post & continue to share it. I’d love to help 3 more businesses! #smallbusinesssuportingsmallbusiness

I love this little logo! Nicole from @sagecreeksugar reached out a while ago asking for some help to bring her existing design together. Go give her a follow and check out her services #supportsmallbusiness

Just finished up the adorable little cards for @janellesilverhague thanks for trusting me with your project! I can’t wait to start the next one!

Some of these are so clever! I think the milk jugs & concert tickets are my fave! https://www.ninjajournalist.com//clever-humans-saw-oppor/
