Aunty design

Design: 2004-2008
Client: Fam. van Uden

I was so deeply proud when my elder sister asked me to create the birth announcement card for her first baby Luuk. She wanted a design that was loving, clean and engaging for someone of all ages to enjoy. Since my sister has always been fond of animals, the theme was easy to create. After a few sketches, a friendly dog on a bright pink-reddish striped background jumped off the paper!

When Luuk’s brothers Chiel (2007) and Teun (2008) were born, I created respectively a bird and a fish, drawn in the same style.

The text on the card’s inside is a manipulated font with free forms and reflects an informal and playful appearance.

The card’s sizes are 148 x 148 mm and has been printed on MC 300 gsm paper.

The dog reappeared ten years later on Luuk’s birthday card.

About MissPixel

Global entrepreneur

Based in Barcelona and working in the cloud, I love international flavoured collaborations. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French, like to travel and am curious about different cultures. Your project can be discussed in your office enjoying a cup of tea or we can set up a Skype call. There's always a way to communicate!

Skills

In 1998, I earned my bachelors in graphic design in Breda, The Netherlands. Just as the internet bubble formed, I moved to Spain and eagerly studied web design and interfaces on my own. Now, I combine design with teaching, as I love to share my knowledge with students and clients alike. A full work history can be found at MissPixel’s Linkedin profile.

Balance

The joy of work is in the balance: organising and taking care of customers in the user experience field, mathematical challenges in HTML coding and composing bright colourful palettes on screen and paper.
These three perspectives harmoniously come together into one goal: making people happy with useful and beautiful designs. Boy, do I love my job!
