Description/Reflection: For part 1 was my logo for my company which is an interior design company. Interior design is my dream job in which I have a huge passion for doing. I went for a more simple look for the outside or structure of the house and then on the inside I went a little bit more detailed with the couch and light and window. I choose a dark green because it is one of my favorite colors and it can be cohesive throughout the house. Green is also a calming color that people gravitate towards like the color blue to. The words Anna Marie Interior’s is just my first and middle name which is cool to me because I never use my middle name. I put it right through the middle of the logo because I want to show the division between the outside and the inside of the housing industry. The outside is simple and the inside is more detailed which will draw peoples eyes to. I worked really hard on it and it took me a long time so I hope you like my design.

For part 2 I decided to create a business card, a magazine cover, and a house sign (this is a sign that companies put outside on the land to show what they are doing on the inside- almost like a construction sign- this also helps to build your business and clientele). The theme for my business is simple yet effective because I don’t want it to be cluttered and messy but I also want it to be able to effectively tell something and understand it when people are reading it. In my design, I showed you the front and back of the card. The front of the card is my logo. The background of the card will be on white shiny paper (when you move it you get some of that sparkle) but it was hard to show that on illustrator so I just put a really light gradient background. The back of the card is green which has my name, location, business, website, and contact information. All of it is very simple and easy to read lettering and layout. The next promotion I did was a magazine cover. This is again very simple yet effective and has my name of my business and has my website and my contact phone number. I put one of my room designs in the background and darkened the photo in the lightroom to make the words stand out more rather than drawing their attention right to the picture. It gives them more to look at in the photo which is a great way to draw customers to your business. And the last promotion piece I created was a work sight sign (which is a sign I will put outside when I am on my clients property working and assembling to help grow my business). I put my logo, my website, and phone number on the sign. Very simplistic but gives them lots of information to be able to contact me and spread my business. All 3 of these promotions had lots of thought and planning put into them and are very effective in getting my business out to more people.
