My LOVE for Ballerinas...

While I´m developing the final choice to get them ready to show you, I will explain you why that kind of shoes and not any other.

Ovbiously, the main reason is because I LOVE them!!
The begining of my love for them comes from centuries ago, when I was a kid. I used to wear them since I started to walk properly!! And since that time I never stop wearing them! My mum propably is the responsible of  that!! She was the one who decided what I had to wear and what I didn´t have to.Things weren´t as the way they are nowadays, where kids decide what to wear, what to eat, where to go... She was and she is (even if she is quite relaxed now ;-) a very disciplinaded mum and therefore she taught us discipline. Things must be done for the way and when she said. No excuses! Jaja....I can see her even if it was long time ago...

  
 And I understand now, how much reason she had!! I love her for that!!

That is the sentimental explanation and, the professional one, is because I deeply believe these shoes are timeless, tremendously confortable, very feminine and perfect to wear in any occasion. Who can ask for anything else? No one!









                                     

I´m back :-) !!

After a while, my dear friend, I´m back!!

During the time I was off, I have to say; I missed do it a lot!! I don´t know why but after starting the blog and start writing on it I feel so excited and I always want more and more. It´s quite addictive!
It can be because now I have a kind of invisible secret friend whom I feel relaxed enough to share confidences and illusions ;-)

 I was missing because I was working in my designs, on my sketchbook and in some paper workshops for my final project pieces!!Time passes too fast!! We are almost done with the College!!

During that time, I came out with another idea... for my business card :-) I know, I have to stop it!! and I already did it!! or I think so, I hope so. I´m not going to alow myself come out with any other idea!!

 Actually, that is the one I like more!! and the one that has more points to be my business card.

 I will show you some examples of that new idea ;-)

                            That is a setch of my new idea.

                           Developed sketches of the main idea.

                                 1                 2                 3
                                
                  1. Just a ballerina shoe drawing on the paper card.
                  2. A ballerina silhoutte shoe as a card.
                  3. A hanging ballerina silhoutte shoe.

These are the examples I did. They are done by pencil for now but they will be painted in different shades of blue with a tiny detail in pink that I´m not going to tell you yet!

                     


                 

The story of a dream...(Second part)

Before to show you some of my designs ideas I will go through another subject I think it should be done sooner.

As a real designer who is starting I believe I must create a promotional package (logo, business card, swing tag, leaflet...) to identify myself . I'm working at that right now! (drawing fast differents ideas, playing with colours, shapes,etc) but I didn't decide yet. Maybe, you can help me :-)!!

 I would like to introduce you some of my sketch ideas for my logo. They are just fast drawings that I still have to work in.

Here you have!!! I hope you like any of them!!!

These firsts three are unfinished (I have to colour them...) but I think you can get a big idea how they will be. I was thinking ahout using one of them for my blog head and one or several of the followings ones for my business card.

Today, I was talking with Linda, one of my best colleges, and she suggested me to use the same one (in case I prefer one of the firsts three) for my business card. So, I´m thinking about that....You will see soon!!

                                                             Ideas for business cards.

 I would be more than happy to hearing from anyone who wants to make any suggestion about them.


Now, you have already seen some of my logo´s ideas, I´m going to explain you why about these drawings and where are they coming from. I think that will help you knowing me a bit more and get a better understanding about what you will find in my later designs.

The first idea that came up to my mind was "the sea." (The colours of the water, the sand, ships, sea animals...). I think that maybe was because I grew up in a city with sea and that mades a specific style of life which turns around it!

I´m going to try to explain myself. That means, since you are a child you get use to know and love all of that!! You learn and realize about how different colours the sea can be, how the sea smells, how is the waves sound, how the sea animals can join you at any time....And, it happens without you even know that is happening.

After I analysed that, I felt I really want to continue on that way!! So, I decided I was going to use anything in relation with that idea. It was like that how the ship and the crab finished in my sketchs logos :-)

About why that handwriting and that ship, the reason is not other that I LOVE SIMPLE handmade things!!
And at that, children are the best!!!
 I also love the great eyes through which they see the world and their interpretation about it! hating to lost these feelings while we are getting older!

Nobody else as them to teach us (an adult) how;

"Be happy without any reason, be always busy with something and know demand with all their mights what they want".


 For that reason, I try to keep safe the child each of us got inside :-) !!
