Might put another contact lens case design into the pattern. We’ll see. The website currently has a callout for ordering contacts in the left column below the main navigation (see www.harmonyeyecare.com). After approval of this concept the callout will need to match the postcard for a proper connection between the two. And probably needs to be moved to the header. Gotta keep things consistent.
Another postcard will go out soon reminding patients of their next check-up. I’ll be using a similar pattern as this one but with other elements dealing with eye exams. Update coming soon after feedback from client. Updated with images below.

Lately I’ve been working on a few color palette ideas and looking for inspiration. Obvs, I turned to those who knew color well. The masters, if you will. In the first issue, Color Palettes vol. 1, I look at paintings my Magritte, van Gogh, and Lautrec.

There’s a couple things I’m working on right now. One of them will soon be a post that I hope will be cool and helpful or interesting for other designers. This one however is just for me… and I guess Ariane, my girlfriend/travel companion. Kidding, and you, the reader. Earlier I made the itineraries for my trip over to Europe and found them kinda cool to have. So now, since Im going to the east coast soon I’m working on that itinerary.
Above is the footer for the cards, as of now. At the bottom of every 3.5×5 in card would be that, the car were driving on the left and the unofficial official Richard and Ariane logo. Is that weird? a little? whatever, I did it.
Please, I invite you to share your thoughts in the comments. Sad Bird Design is most appreciative of all of you readers out there. We would be nothing without you. Id like to take this time to thank you for reading and say that I look forward to making many more memories with you.

In my earlier post I talked about version 1. After much research I began to work on version 2. So far the uppercase alphabet is in rough draft. Currently working on lowercase and numbers. In the meantime I am getting some professional feedback on the uppercase.

Completed. Printed. Delivered. It all started here: Working On A Grid. We decided on 6x9in. and adjusted the grid accordingly.
