So...I have finally created a logo that I can say that I am thoroughly happy with and will not change for quite some time. I've also been working on finally building my website - I got tired of waiting for someone to do it for me and it pained me to pay someone $1500 to create a cheapo website I can build myself. I have also been working on finalising my designs and printing my stationery samples and I am insanely happy about this. That said, I know I have been building Lily Notes for quite some time - perfection is not instant - but I have been making an active effort in making Lily Notes Studio a successful business and have been taking on more freelance clients as of late. One of my clients, a current co-worker of mine at my other job, Judy Paulen Designs - yes I have two jobs besides my work with Lily Notes - is a jewelry designer. She has been looking for someone to design her logo and business cards for quite sometime and have not been able to find the right look. Realising the potential opportunity, I jumped at the chance to create something for her and she absolutely loved it - not exaggerating. Now, I'm helping her design the rest of her business identity including her Etsy page, website and other necessary stationery. I'm not quite done with her project, but I will post samples of what I'm working later this week - just need her permission first.
I must say, I'm really happy now, with all old distractions behind me. I've been able to fully focus on me and only me. To really explore all my possibilities and finally build something for myself without having to worry about pleasing someone else. I am most certainly looking forward to how everything turns out and all the pleasures I get to enjoy!
