LUXCUPS

Yesterday I went back to my design roots. Before I was serious about pursuing a career with a camera I already had a bit of experience in the graphic arts/web design industry. Nothing too fancy, but for a while I did freelance work designing websites and logos. I really need to break down and get a livebooks.com website, however until then my current website and business card are ok. Both I designed myself. My lady’s newest venture is a custom cupcake business she dubbed, “LuxCups”. Everyone has loved it so far. This image is something I designed to be her business card. I wanted something that was colorful and playful enough for her to be marketable for let’s say a child’s birthday, yet mantain enough elegance to draw the attention of an upscale party planner. I found that balance in this design which was inspired by the 1950′s retro/diner look. I have to admit that I had a little help on the supercool cupcake vector. The cards will be have a nice glossy U/V coating on both sides and the corners will be rounded for some added flair. In satisfying a level of functionality, the front can be hole punched and used as logo labels as well. Picture a white box full of cupcakes with some nice ribbon tying the box closed with one of these tied along with it. If you ever need some cupcakes you know where to go!
