Believe22 Graphic Design

As a true girly girl, I have this passion for opulent, sparkly, shiny art. I have always said I wanted my bedroom to look like in the inside of Genie's bottle. I could spend hours reading the high fashion blogs, taking in all the taffeta and lace and jewels - and the shoes! Don't even get me started on the shoes.

I needed an outlet for all the inspiration and swirls (as my good friend calls it) in my head, so I created Believe22 Graphic Design as a division of Studio Savoie. It's where I can go and design in my happy place.

The influences in my happy place include funky retro, Victorian vintage, elegant Rococo, unicorns, peacocks, fairies .. you get it. If you are looking for a custom look to your new spa or bakery or wedding, check out some of my stuff at www.NicoleFlores.com/believe22. Check back often, there is new art uploaded regularly. Coming soon are some pieces I did for a wedding with a Vintage Carnival theme!

If you'd like to speak with me about a design, you can get me at one of the links to the right or call me at (616) 439-1303.

Cars!

Here are some of the pieces I've done for the auto industry.

Congratulations are in order!

Chris Blount Presnell of Yarn Mountain was one of my first clients when I started Studio Savoie. She came to me with the idea of starting a knitting / crocheting group in a little cafe that opened up in her town and she needed a sign and a business card.

After a change in location, a new business identity and countless hours of stressing and collaborating, she built her idea into a worldwide community of fiber artists and an outlet for natural, American yarns. 






Today, Google announced the release of an ad campaign for their Google+ project featuring Chris and her company.

My cup runneth over with pride for my dear friend. Job well done, my friend, job well done.



 

Bellarina Bakery Logo

This was a logo that due to circumstances beyond the client's control, could not be used. But it is a good study into how a design comes to be.

The company is called Bellarina Bakery, and they wanted to incorporate the initials into the design.

This is the sketch I came up with.

I scanned the sketch into Illustrator and set about re-drawing the art. Then I played with a couple of different type treatments and this is what I came up with.

Unfortunately, this client had a huge opportunity come in while this logo was being developed and in the meantime had to go a different route with their branding. Don't let that deter you though, their work is exquisite and can be found here.

If you are in the market for start up branding or re-designing of an existing mark, look me up here.
