So, I finally designed holiday cards for a client, who didn't mind them posted on the web. I posted them the other day, but I'm reposting them here with the final draft. I'm not a big fan of the final, but in the end, the client had her own ideas. She couldn't choose between the three original designs, so she wanted to combine elements from all three. Fortunately, the card didn't turn out looking too busy. All that matters is that she was extremely happy that I was able to execute her idea. Below you'll find options one through three followed by the final design. Feel free to comment.

In other work news, Lula Washington Dance Theatre's Kwanzaa show is coming up in December. I choreographed one or two pieces. The show will be at the studio this year on December 28th and 29th. Mooch is performing, too! More details later.

I go on maternity leave from teaching from December 5th-January 9th. I don't think I've stopped teaching for that long in my entire 16 years of teaching! I shall enjoy it. Keep the design work coming, though. I have web designers, photographers, and graphic designers sub-contracting during my leave. I hope to keep my blog going. We'll see.

P.S. Yesterday, I bartered with a client, who wanted a holiday calendar designed (a different design for each month of the year plus a cover). In exchange, she braided my hair, so I won't have to worry about it until long after the baby is born. That was great!
