Chris put together a beautiful ad for me for my new advertising campaign this year in Victoria Magazine. This particular ad is featuring my line of hand painted pendants, I took all the test photographs, we picked a favorite and he assembled the ad.
I tested many differnt layouts and ideas before I hit upon the right one that would allow for the placement of all the text as well as look appealing at the same time.
These are of course, some of the rejected layouts, for one reason or another, they just didn't work.
I also tried some photos without greenery and decided I didn't care for them at all. Since my pendants are mostly created by using nature as my inspiration, the stems of my pretty little green plant seemed to work best in representing the necklace portion for this trio.
At last, the photo that seemed to be just right for what I needed......
The finished ad.
Now that the weather here in NY is getting so lovely, I've been very inspired to do a lot of painting these days. Besides working on a very large painting I'm trying to finish up, I've been creating quite a lot of pendants.
I've made many journeys into my basement to collect specific pieces from my stash of puzzles. Even after a couple of my large puzzles fell on the floor during a mishap months ago, I still have a very good selection to choose from.
With many of the puzzles, the shape dictates to me what needs to be painted on it. That was the case with the tree above, once I saw the pieces together, I got the idea of what I wanted to paint.
I've also been creating some wooden pendants for the musically inclined .....
You can find some of these pendants on my ETSY site: http://www.artfulcreations.etsy.com . I hope beautiful spring time weather inspires everyone to get creative in some way.
