Talk about awakening...


It's been a few days since my last post and that should illustrate how STUCK I was in my process. My logo development was not going well, I really liked the idea for Inca patterns and could not put it aside. I gave up and decided to go with my last iteration (which didn't convince me but other people seemed to like) and moved on to designing the business cards. At this scale, my former logo had even more problems, as it seemed even busier when scaled down and most of the detail was obsolete. In order to have a graphic back for the BC I stripped down the logo of all its craziness and knocked it out off a block of red and that's what you could call my "eureka moment". (I hate that term, even though I looove the feeling) So yeah, that's it, now I'm fine tuning it but I'm really excited about it. I'm going with the lower right option, with the triangle. It seems big now but I'm working on it. 
Also, we went to Tisane in West Hartford today for a tea tasting!!! Even though the lady didn't embody zen philosophy (let's just say), it was fun and I actually learned a lot more about tea. Apparently, my product is not tea, it is a tisane (herbal infusion).
I have a lot of cool ideas for my packaging, want to make it out of corn husks. Time to experiment!
