New life!
Design: 2014
Client: Fam. Boot
After a week of anxious waiting, nephew Sjors has been born! For his birth card’s design, I chose to create a park scenery in pencil and water colour. Family bird who made its first appearance on Guusje’s birth announcement card is back again, together with several other aimals who are flying and playing in the background.
After the initial design, the illustration was digitalised and manipulated. The advantage of working on a computer, is the freedom of moving elements and changing layers when necessary. Typography on the inside is handwritten with a fine technical drawing pen and digitally edited in order to optimise consistency and legibility.
Final production is Nature Cardboard 300 gsm with a glossy finish on the outside which makes the card strong and shiny.

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!
