COMPANY LOGO: ЕТ ШАНС

In the summer I had the chance to design a logo for a company, ЕТ Шанс (or Chance Ltd.), that is a construction products retailer. The company wanted a logo in one color that they can use on the signs outside of their shop, so I gave them some options that were more abstract and an option with a hand giving a thumbs up (because of the name of the company - "chance").

Here are some of the abstract designs:


And here is the design with the hand giving a thumbs up, which is actually the one they ended up choosing.


I actually really enjoy designing logos. I hope that I have more chances to do that in the future.

TWO FALL PORTRAITS

I just wanted to share these two lovely portraits that Pavel took of me a few weeks ago in the park - I really love the fall colors. They are so beautiful to photograph.

FIRST FALL PHOTOS FOR THIS YEAR!

It's fall, an awesome season to photograph! I took some time last weekend (even though it was very cold) to take some photos in the park. I also wanted to try out a Lensbaby Control Freak lens that I borrowed, so my shutter button finger was itching :) Here are some of my photos below; they are my experiments with the Lensbaby and with my own lenses. I love shooting rose hip :)

WATERCOLOR WEDDING GIFT

After more than a year of not painting any watercolors, I made the time two weekends ago to paint a couple of small fall scenes as a wedding gift for a friend. Watercolor is the medium I probably know best when it comes to painting , since I've been working with watercolor since I was a kid, and it was nice to do something familiar. Birches are also very interesting to paint, all white and gold and delicate.

DANI & ROSSEN'S WEDDING PHOTOS

After the sneak peak at the beginning of the week, here are some of the photos from Dani & Rossen's wedding last Saturday. I was not the official photographer of the event, but I was invited to photograph Dani while she was getting ready, so I have a bunch of photos from before the actual ceremony and fewer from the rituals. Still, I managed to snap a photo here and there, and I am posting some here for you to see.

Stay tuned for more photos from the wedding soon!

DANIELA AND ROSSEN'S WEDDING LOGO

Daniela, a colleague and friend of mine, recently announced that she would be getting married to her boyfriend of several years, Rossen. I get so happy and excited whenever there is a wedding, I guess it's a girl thing. Anyway, my colleagues and I set out to design her wedding invitation. I ended up designing several logos for her and her husband-to-be. All of the designs have what I call the "short version" of their initials and a "long version" with their full names as they are spelled in Bulgarian (Даниела и Росен). I was really happy with all designs, and forgive me for not being modest, but I think I love them all. My favorite is probably the first one, but Dani ended up choosing the third logo, so that's what we put on the invitations. Check out the three designs below:
