design time: week #2

this week, my design class [through nicole's classes online] focused on the creation of desk calendars, illustrated cards, and photo cards.

my instructor, alma loveland [don't you love her name] was wonderful again. i learned so many new tricks and techniques. here are some of my projects from this week...

desk calendar - demonstrates grid & alignment

invitation - demonstrates freehand drawing & customized letters

save the date - demonstrates geometric layering & letterpress style

postcard - demonstrates combination of photo and illustration

save the date - demonstrates combination of photo and illustration

baby announcement - demonstrates combination of photo and illustration & customized letters

i'm so sad that the class is over this week, but i'm thinking of taking another one once my work calms down a bit :)
