Josephine in Watercolor

Josephine_girlgonegraphic

Ohmygod. I have SO much respect for you designers who can handwrite in pretty pretty lettering. SO much respect. I hope I don’t regret posting this someday, as I’m sure I will look back and think how amateur it looks. But, in the spirit of honest reporting, this is where I’m at right now. Handwriting is HARD. I think I might need some fancy pens to do more calligraphic stuff.

Anyway, it’s not all bad, because one of my goals was to start incorporating REAL watercolor into my designs. Not just a “watercolor brush”, which only takes you so far, but the real deal. So, although I’m in the learning stages, I am proud to say that these watercolor swatches are 100% my own! It feels good. With time, I know the hand-lettering will get there. But everyone has to start somewhere. So here I am!

The name – Josephine – it’s just always been a name I thought was beautiful. So I decided to use it for my little sample logos. Although they didn’t come out quite like I pictured in my head, I’m still glad I went through the experience, and next time it will be easier. sigh. :)
