As mentioned last week, I’m embarking on the task of designing a whole identity package for modernemotive. True to my word, the process has begun. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to dedicate a lot of time to it last week, but just the act of exploration really got my creative juices flowing so I’ll be sharing lots more over the coming weeks. While I have a slew of post ideas for this particular topic, words are escaping me right now but they’ll come. They’ll come! Don’t you hate when that happens? Anyway, I digress…
Here’s a sneak peak at the new modernemotive icon. I’ve wanted to introduce a icon for a while and I can now finally strike it off my to-do list. I’m still deciding when and where it will be used but I plan on getting labels printed so that it can be applied to product packaging, mailings etc.
What do you think?
Wow, it’s Friday already? This week has flown by. It’s been an amazing few days over here and lots of opportunities have come up that I’ll share with you over time. I hope your week was equally good to you. I’m loving March so far. How about you?
As the weekend is upon us I wanted to wish you all a fabulous weekend. We’re having Spring-like weather over here. Yah! It’s so nice to be able to open up the windows and have some fresh air blowing through.
My weekend is gearing up to be awesome. On deck I have a client meeting later tonight followed by date night with James, then tomorrow we’re having dinner/drinks with James’ work crew and then Sunday my boys arrive. Bliss!
What you got planned for the weekend?

Me: “No.”
Yep, a particular stationery designer – *ahem* me *ahem* – doesn’t have a business card. Shocking isn’t it? I can’t tell you how many opportunities I’ve potentially lost due to the absence of this handy piece of paper. Yet here I still sit business card-less. Bad Adele!
I’m sure a lot of designers can identify with the fact that it is soooooo hard to design for yourself. As a perfectionist already, it hits an all time extreme when it comes to hiring myself.
As I’m preparing to contact retailers and other venues to spread the word about modernemotive, I’ve decided to jump in and design a whole identity package for myself. It’ll include letterheads, envelopes, labels, packaging design… the whole shebang. Let the fun begin!
I plan on sharing the process here on my blog so if you don’t hear from me about on this matter within a few weeks, please give me a nudge. I’m hiring you as my virtual Project Managers… sound good? You in?
And while we’re at it, please tell me I’m not the only one missing an important piece of their business puzzle? It feels lonely up in here.

There appears to be this collective relief out there as we say goodbye to February 2010. For a short month, it seemed so long didn’t it?
Despite it’s up and downs, February taught me a lot. I don’t know about you, but whenever things aren’t going so great, I always need to find a positive in there in order for me to move forward.
Now that March is upon us it’s time to start setting up my goals for this month. If I were to look at what was achieved in February in terms of tangible goals, I could easily feel as though I failed. Yet I now realize I didn’t.
February may of driven me to some personal lows but it also forced me to take an honest and hard look at what the hell was going on. As a result, I came out stronger and happier than ever. That my friends was the best thing I could ever of done for my company.
So as I set up my goals to grow modernemotive this month, I’m going to make sure I nurture myself too. Sure, I want my company to be running at it’s best but I need to make sure I am too so that we bloom together.
Hello March. I’m ready for you!
Are you ready? What are your goals this month?
