My Creative Process...

reativity... I get a lot of comments and emails about it. How I have it and maybe you don't. Or how can you get it. I was also told by someone that I should blog about my process. I am going to from time to time because it breaks down how I am creative in a step-by-step approach. If I can do it, you can do it. It is like anything. The more you do it the better you get. And I have been working on my creative process since I was a little girl and was given a scrapbook. I cut pictures out and pasted them in. MANY years later when my mother brought me my scrapbook I could then see that I had arranged my pages by color, or topic and they were all in little layouts. Anyway I digress... I make Doodle fonts and the above cookie is from the Food Doodles Too font. John's niece is starting a company where she will make and sell gourmet cookies. So I made this logo for her using the clip art from that font. I then scripted the company name to wrap around the cookie, making it part of the art. I then added a little color. I scan and clean things up in Adobe Photoshop and created the art in Adobe Illustrator. The color is just 2 different circles of color layered. Her cookie boxes will be pink so that is where the pink icing came from. Clean, simple and what girl doesn't like a little pink?
