A Lucky Break...

I got a treasury! And I didn't even try! Well..maybe a little.

For those of you not in the know, here's a description of the Treasury from etsy.com:

The Treasury is a member-curated gallery of short-lived lists of 12 hand-picked items each (plus four alternates). It functions as a high-demand (and pretty!) promotional tool that many devoted Etsians fight to get. Members can feature their favorite items, items selected on a theme, or just however they like. Admin often choose an exceptional Treasury list to promote on the home page and occasionally make them to tie into Storque articles or special events and occasions.

Choosing items to feature was more difficult than I imagined. Originally I tried to do a theme, but then abandoned it for pretty items that fit together nicely in a group. I also attempted to avoid too many of the "big" sellers (one of the repeated complaints of etsians on the message boards), but there are a few. Crossing my fingers that I'll see it on the front page and create a ton of sales for my picks!

Check out my treasury!

N is for Nina

I am excited to have made my first custom stationery sale!

Rebecca from beccabeedesigns purchased two printable stationery sets and had one customized for her daughter Nina. Thanks for the purchase Rebecca!

Client: The Muddy Moose

Deb from The Muddy Moose hired me to freshen up her shop banner, avatar and placeholder image. She wanted something a little brighter than her current feel and we ended up with a playful design reflecting her shop's Moose-y name and the natural bath products you can find there. Check it out!

Now with 20% more Adorableness!

In addition to custom graphic design, my shop now features printed and printable cards, tags and stationery. Extra bonus - every design is customizable! Check it out!

Lovely Package

I admit it: I'm a marketer's dream. Not only do I shop impulsively, I often judge books (ok, products) by their covers. There is no temptation like pretty things in prettier packaging. That's why I love to check out Lovely Package, a site solely dedicated to package design.

Living with a person who knows more about wine than the average bear, I should know how to choose a good bottle. And I do...the best wines have the coolest labels. Right?

I want to work as a scientist at the Chocolate Research Facility. The project website has a fun feature...if you don't click quickly enough the entire screen gets covered in electronic chocolate.

And finally a book with a cover that probably trumps its content.

What packaging do you like?

Introducing

Yet another tiny blog sliding down the vast series of tubes that make up teh interwebs.

I suppose my number one reason for starting this blog is to promote my shop, so let's get that out of the way. It's called olliegraphic and you can find it here. In the shop you will find cards, prints, printable stationery and more. I also do custom graphic design for those who need it.

Aside from that, I hope to use this blog as a place to bookmark my favorite design finds, record random thoughts and track my progress towards my various goals...more to come on that later.

If anyone cares, I'd love to hear from you!
