design trends 2013 mint

Mint is going to be one of the hot colors in 2013. It is number one trend in wedding invitations for next year and is probably going to find its way in other areas of graphic design.

How to pair mint

Mint can be combined with a number of great colors. For example Monaco Blue (Pantone color 2013). Gold is a luxurious combination with mint. Emerald is another trend color for 2013 and goes beautifully with mint creating a nice contrast. Pink is a classic combination with mint – a salmon, or linen pink + mint =  vintage soft look.

Fonts that go with mint

Is there such thing as a suitable font for a specific color? In design color sets the mood and the direction. Finding suitable font is what brings design to perfection. Mint can be made modern when paired with some rounded nice sans serif font like Museo Sand or Futura. Scripts like La Portenia and Capistrano BF are a more fancy match.

Printable Mini calendar 2012

I had so many requests about this calendar. The whimsical mini calendar 2011 was more successful than I could foresee. It turns out it was the perfect gift last year. Since then I have new clip art and my design direction have changed somewhat. The new calendar is more polished technically and in addition to being whimsical, it is also romantic.

You can find below a free sample for January 2012. It looks really cute in print. The bird is from my new set – Sewn Birds.

I was recently inspired by an image of a wedding cake drawn with crayons.  I made some drawings with ink, processed them digitally and created this pack. The crayons coloring was actually made in illustrator. There are some lovely lace Photoshop brushes included.

There is a new clip art collection of hand drawn Ranunculus flowers in the shop. I used a variety of shades to have a diversity of colors and moods.
