Philadelphia Wins the Super Bowl! (And Other Things I Want to Quickly Address)

in , , , , , ,

We did it! We won the big one!

I wanted to go to the parade on 02/14, AKA LOVE DAAAAAY, but that didn’t happen. I did call out of work, but I was sick as a dog again. I watched the parade on TV, though, and the energy looked AMAZING! Next time.

We made a bunch of stuff for the SB—stickers, shirts for all the people we were spending the game with, and other accessories. Check it out:

I’ve been working on a bullet journal for the year, but I’m learning I definitely need to set it up in December and it would be so much more efficient to utilize my design skills, printer, and Cricut to make the journaling easier.

I designed more stickers with my ideas falling into the political climate of today. Seriously, things are terrifying…we have a man (and his accomplice) running this show without an ounce of intelligence going toward what actually makes sense…it’s turning our own nation against us. The fact that so many corporations are falling back on DEI is very telling.

More posts to come, but please—remember to always do the right thing.

EGD: Paradise Beauty Lounge Nail Salon

in , , , , , , ,

Last year, Lash Paradise Beauty Lounge began transitioning to a more concise name, Paradise Beauty Lounge, in anticipation of the grand opening for the lash salon side that opened in 2020 and the nail salon which opened in 2022. While the name isn’t finalized due to some further research and needing to be done to make it happen, the name is appearing in different places online and in print.

Recently, Torianna Paradise, the owner/operator of Lash Paradise/Paradise Beauty Lounge, approached me and asked me to revise the signage we did for them to reflect the expansion of the lash salon to include the nail salon.

Below are the install photos from what we did. The nail salon windows had the same treatment as the lash salon side, right next door, and the listing of the main services were included in the building and pylon signs.

Logo: Hicks Pit Beef & BBQ

Ironically, I was recently commissioned to design a logo for a startup barbecue business for a couple of friends. Unfortunately, due to my diet, I couldn’t accept payment in the form of delicious smoked ribs and had to settle on regular Benjamins. (Feelings are hurt, tbh.)

Data Visualization: It's Not Purely Math

When I applied to the MS Strategic Advertising and Marketing program at Temple University, I remember reading the list of courses in the curriculum and being intrigued. Listed were a few marketing courses, a few advertising courses, a design theory course (which really excited me), a media planning course, a user experience design course (also very exciting), the marketing capstone and something that originally terrified me: a statistics course. My brain immediately placed the latter one in the math bucket and the first word out of my mouth was NOPE.
