Design Elements

At times, I am asked not to create an entire design, but rather a design element, or motif, that will tie a design together. Whether it is a decorative border to surround a picture, or a rustic graphic to adorn the top of an invitation, these elements are extremely fun for me to create. I get to tap into the fine-art side of myself. Sometimes in graphic design, I am so reliant on the computer that I forget that there are times when creating art by hand is much more successful and satisfying. These design elements allow me to do that. Some of these graphics I drew by hand and then scanned into the computer to complete, and some I drew in illustrator. Either way, they are all 100% original.

Custom motifs like those you see above are a great way to personalize any stationery or invitation!
