Week 7

I'm going to try and take  a picture with a cats head. Also I have a shoot lined up with greyhounds. I shot another picture yesterday which I wont be able to put together before class, I don't have photoshop at home right now.

Not something I would shoot but I like ideas. They are clever, maybe I will try something with kiwis etc.

Found this one for Orli

I like his, the only concern I would have would be that the images might fall out when you hold it a certain way.

This is one that I really liked too.


I think I want to make my own book. If I have the time and it's not that difficult.

I really like this for my leave behinds, promotions, etc.

Week 5

I finally have my logo. Stress is over. Now I can relax and work with what I got.
I shot two images this weekend and I really like them. (Post them on Monday)

About the reading assignment. I thought it was very helpful especially about the resume. I need to update my resume, I haven't done this since I started with school. I would really like a creative resume, thought it should fit my theme. I like the one they showed of Alison Murphy.

I also decided I don't want to use color on anything I am creating right now. Not on business cards, resumes and letterheads. If I decide that I want to use color at some point, it has to be something soft and nothing to crazy, like neon pink or yellow.

I thought the Q&A's in the back of the chapter were very interesting.
How Chris Wooster said that ones you are done with the interview write that person a Thank you card but don't write how perfect you are for this job, write about how what I said helped you.
Very good to know, once I apply for jobs.  

Week 4

I still have difficulties  finding the right logo. I've been looking so much these past few days and I just can't find one that reflects my type of photography.

I drew some ideas that I will show in class. But I also found some fun ones online.

They caught my eye, even though they might not represent my type of photography I thought people will remember you and will keep your card just because it's a cool looking one.

I was thinking that I would maybe take a picture from my food series and create one with my logo. Like writing my logo on a cookie and then let it blend in with something. I'm not sure it's just a thought. 

Side note: I went online and I looked to get my own personal email address for my website. Zenfolio unfortunately doesn't give me one but I looked through google/gmail and this is what I found

I'm going to this as soon as I have my logo, because I might want to use my logo name for the first part of the email address, or should it be: lisa@lisahildebrand.com OR lh@lisahildebrand.com

What if they are already taken? Should there be photography in the email address or just my name since my website is lisahildebrand.com?


Back to the business cards, like I said I have a couple which I like, I just don't know if they fit my style. I don't want people to think "wow this is totally not what I expected after seeing her card" (and not in a positive way). This is giving me a headache because I have to start all over again with the logo. I could use my old logo but I want it to fit my style. I am torn between new and old logo.

I worked on a new pictures this weekend. I'm going to bring it into class tomorrow (Monday). I don't have photoshop on my laptop.

When it comes to the quality of my future business cards, I would like them to be on a thick matte board. Color depends on the design I'm going with. I doubt I'm going use color with my cards.
