I haven’t done anything interesting lately except for work but I guess that depends on what you consider interesting. To me certain things are exciting which to others might not be that exciting at all *hehe*. I finally have a moment to breathe before I’ll be working on more projects. I need to finish the design of business cards for another client but had to postpone this until I got the results back from the printer, I would like to use spot UV for his cards as well.

I’m also asked to design an accountants website which to me is a challenge because it will involve certain widgets, scripts etc. like tax calculators. So I’m doing research to see if it needs coding and if I can do it myself or if I’d need someone to do this for me or provide the service. A cool challenge and a perfect addition to my portfolio since it needs the commercial and professional look and feel of an accountancy firm.

I received the five different sets of business cards from the printer last week and they look absolutely stunning especially with the spot UV added, which gives that luxurious feel and the client was extremely happy with them. I was slightly disappointed about the colours at first but I was just nagging, I’m actually very satisfied. The printer was slow and caused me some extra grey hairs *hehe* but it all worked out just fine.

The result was so good that I’m thinking of having my own cards printed, they’re so outdated. I started a redesign a while ago but never finished it. I adjusted my logo and turned it into a more friendly manga-like character when I designed my new Flash website in ’06. I’m offered free advertising space inside a London cab! The driver will promote me [do the talk and hand out my cards], so no more excuses to postpone the new look!

Along with the touching up of my logo character and the redesign of my business cards, I’ll have to think of a strategic well marketed cab advert which is quite large in size, one for me and one for the driver as well. I’m gonna be busy but in a satisfying way! Which side of the cab shall I put my ad: left or right?

She’s gonna look SO cool with spot UV wings!
