Making the "Tessas Treasure" logo
For this commission I worked closely with the client to get the logo exactly how she wanted it. Here are the images and changes I made until we reached the final product.
Lauren (me):
"I love that idea!
Are you thinking full color? Digital? And lastly what kinda pottery are you selling that you want me to include?"
Client:
"Yes, full color and digital. I really like those digital drawings you do. I do a lot of planters for my plans and mugs cuz mugs are fun"
Lauren (me):
"Ok great! I will get working on the sketch and we can finalize things from there."
​
"Here is the sketch let me know what you want to add or change. Also what colors are you wanting?"
Client:
"So I’m starting an Etsy/eBay/Instagram and I want to be named Tessas Treasure. So I was thinking like a cute, blonde pin-up mermaid with a treasure chest of pottery?"
Client:
"I love the sketch! And for colors, I was wanting blond hair and my favorite color is purple"
Lauren (me):
"Wonderful! Here is what I have so far anything you want to add or change?
(NOTE: Now I always sent clients the linework before I continue with color)
Client:
"So I love most of it. I’m not feeling the bubbles though. Also, her face seems harsher in this version. I’m not sure if it’s the eyeshadow but if u could make her face softer? In the sketch, you sent me I liked thinking of those circles and pots with plants coming out of them. Cuz I do like the idea of something being around the chest, just not the bubbles"
Lauren (me):
"Sounds great! I will work on those revisions and send you what I have."
​
"Here you go I added the potted plants and removed the eye makeup to give it a softer look. Anything you want to add or change from here?"
Client:
"I like her face much better! I feel like those plants make it look less underwater. Maybe make the pots look broken and the plants are flowy like like from a shipwreck? and maybe add some coins on the ground? Also, I forgot to say to add an apostrophe in Tessa’s"
To the right, you can see the final approved design. My client was very happy with the design and received a high-quality digital copy she could use as she pleased.
