This week for my senior mastery I began working on my business cards and logo. I originally planned for it to be super minimal and basic, but I wanted to add more. Instead, I drew out some lavender flowers with no color and kept the outline, and then I added a clipping mask to each individual petal. The clipping mask was free watercolor texture I got, and then I edited the color with the hue/saturation adjustment in Photoshop. However, when I did not come to school last Friday, they updated my computer while I was gone, and I didn’t get a chance to back up my files, so I’ll have to redo my business cards again. The style this time is a bit different but I really like it because it looks more like me. The logo on my business cards will be the same style and theme I use for the remainder of my senior mastery. I will now be working on promotional design, and marketing. It still fits very well with my research question, on what are the best marketing strategies to draw attention to consumers. However, instead of doing a full 12 pieces that are my own, I will be doing 6 of the works I do with Pelicans as they want me to redo some of their designs, and 6 of my own. For my own personal designs, I will be doing a fake skin care line and I will be measuring out 6 different containers for different types of skin care products. Then I will individually wrap each product to display for my senior mastery. The products will include their own similar theme, include ingredients, and directions on how to use them. I will also include a display box that i make as most skin or makeup packages include, to hold the products.
