BIG Fat Gypsy Wedding

An ad comp illustration and catalog work

This is the last rendering that I could find, so I've run out of storyboard and ad comps to post. This particular layout was for a magazine ad, I don't recall the client, ad agency or art director. It was a large 12 x 18" rendering done using markers on layout paper.



Below is an example of how I develop a page layout for an automotive catalog.


I first make a very rough color sketch which is often shown to the art director to see if I am on target.


If the sketch is approved, I the do a comprehensive layout which is put together with all of the other pages as a catalog. This then is presented to the agency's client for approval.


The comp layout is used by the artists and photographers as a guide for the art and photography.


If your are interested in seeing more comp layouts and storyboard work pick up a copy of my book Advertising Layout Techniques. I wrote this book in 1983 and it was published by Watson Guptill Publications. You can find used copies on the internet.

Wedding Dresses 2011

Color dresses is in after the wedding ceremony the bride at the wedding banquet or party on clothing, can according to the characteristics of the wedding outfit. Wedding gown in order to display the personality will find much larger dress designs, such as the first one color dress choose fishplate type unfold own fair maiden wind, the first two dress will choose the lovely dress, princess on colour will also have larger jumps. But there are also part of the bride will choose to dress styles to further out of character and temperament is praiseworthy.

Most often, the same color just isn’t going to look as good on one bridesmaid as it does the next. A simple way to fix this is to choose two different colors and let your bridesmaid choose which one she would like to wear. This can get tricky because if you have four bridesmaids, you have to make sure that two will wear one color while the other two wear the other color. Also be sure to line them up so the colors alternate as they walk down the aisle.

Destination Wedding

Want to get married on your honeymoon? The purpose of marriage increasingly popular among couples who want to redirect the sound of traditional marriage and to make the leap into entertainment. Around the world, you'll find hotels and resorts that offer on-site assistance for planning your wedding, from details like the wedding license to extras such as music and photos. What is the special day involves just the two of you or whether you'll stay with friends and relatives to join this event, wedding destination can be a way to create beautiful memories.


But first, a reaction. The purpose of marriage is not for everyone. If you like the idea of a big weddings with all the relatives and friends, please ignore this idea. Even with years of planning, almost impossible to schedule all coordinated for this kind of event.


But many couples say "Yes" to the idea of destination weddings not only as a way to make a special occasion, but as a tool to simplify the whole process. "Just say, and we will take care of everything," explains Ava Burke-Thompson, director of guest services at the Sheraton "Grand Resort Paradise Island, Bahamas. "We can arrange for the marriage license, minister, priest or rabbi, florist and photographer, bride cake and champagne. And dinner and weddings exercises"

Designer Shoes Wedding 2011

Choose a shoe style that complements your wedding dress, your personal style, and your overall look. Silk or satin are the two most popular choices for wedding shoes, however your wedding dress and personal taste should have the greatest impact on the shoes you choose. The choice of fabric choice plays a major role in ‘look’ of your wedding shoes. Bridal shoes are available in a wide variety of material and colours. White, cream and light shades are the preferred choice of most brides. Added adornments like beads, sequins and embroidery make your bridal shoes appear fabulous.

Popular Flowers Wedding

A good wedding flower is tropical flowers tend to be far better than our native blooms when it comes to withstanding the hot interior of a church or reception hall. Flowers like orchids, lilies and dahlias are all great ones for a wedding flower. They hold up to the heat very well and can take long drought periods, thanks to their hardy leaves and petals that retain moisture even in stifling conditions.



The ideal would be a flower that you love the look of, which combines beauty with functionality. For a summer wedding, how well the flowers will stand up to the heat is a very important consideration. There is nothing more stressful on your wedding day than discovering that all your blooms are wilting away in the intense heat.

Bridal Shower Invitations

Make sure your invitations reflect your vision of your day. Traditional wording can be used, or you can use inspirational wording or write your own. Unless you have a degree in art, English, and etiquette. Invitations are usually themed when they follow a theme wedding. Using various creations the invitations are usually ranging from the size of the book to the small money envelops. Usually one can notice the names of the groom and the bride on the face of the card printed with the date of the wedding. This is towards the left and center aligned is the space that gives the name of the invitee. Below the cover page at the footer is the address of the invitation. Opening envelop, we now see the card for the invitation which has complete dates and names of the events.

Hair Combs Wedding

As the bride, all eyes are on you. So everything about you must be perfect. Your hairstyle will surely be noticed by almost everyone. And since choosing the proper wedding hairstyle is highly important, it is just a requisite that you spend enough time to choose what is best for you. The most essential thing is to take into consideration who you are. While most prefer their hair up during their big day.

Way to be UNIQUE

Today I'll be sharing with you all 10 pictures of unique looking things I've found in the past week or so (not including the first picture). I'll describe them as I go, and feel free to click on the pictures to make them bigger.

1. First off, most of you know about my lego digital camera. It only has 3 megapixels, and holds 80 photos at one time. Very very cute and unique!

2. What is this? A sculpture? A giant paper airplane? I guess your partially right. This is actually a coffee table! Crazy right?! I'd love to sip some tea with this thing...

3. When I first saw this, I wasn't too sure what it was. Guess what. It's another table! It's called "Paint or Die but Love Me" by John Nouanesing. Pretty impressive, and very unique! I wonder how strong the table legs are though. I feel like I would be almost nervous to eat on it and just have it for show. Very interesting!

4. This looks like a pretty sweet water bottle. The KOR ONE Zen Water Hydration Vessel is uncontaminated, because it's made from Eastman Tritan™, which is free of bisphenol-A (BPA) (a leading toxin found in polycarbonate bottles), it has a "no-worry cap” that swivels open with a press of a button and a twist of the wrist, and in that cap lies a motivating message that you can only see when drinking from it. You can get this for $29.99

5. I had to throw this unique skew bookcase design in this post because I truly don't understand how the books stay up on this thing! I love the design, but that falling book in the picture makes it seem like the bookcase is useless. Either way, I wouldn't mind having one of these. I'd probably even put it in my party room simply because of the fun-vibe it kind of gives off.

6. YES! Look at this bow tie! A young man, who goes by the name of Mr. Talented, created this. I believe he attends/attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, and he rolled the dice before he put the tie together. I love it! Love love love it.

7. I don't know how I didn't see this earlier, but this is the Chanel Light Bulb Heel. Indeed, this is very unique. I'm not sure if I would actually wear the heel...well actually I might...maybe not. I don't know. Either way, it is an interesting idea.

8. This is the Zig-Zag Chair. What makes this chair so unique? It has no beginning or end! Can you see it? It's endless kind of like the infinity sign. Get it? Got it? Good. I wonder how comfortable this chair would be to sit in. I'm not too sure how that would work out haha.

9. This Nikon D700 Digital Camera Cake looks waayyy too good to actually eat. This is someone's birthday cake. Though I prefer Canons, I love seeing creative cakes (like on the show "Cake Boss"). Anyways, my love for creative cakes and cameras really makes me appreciate this cake. Yum! =)

10. This is a car. The Futuristic Egg-Shaped Car by Daniel Scotland. It's powered by a lithium-ion battery pack, and there's no steering wheel, as it will be maneuvered by a joystick-like device that's placed in front of the armrests. Scotland intended to develop this for the car brand Peugeot, but I don't know if he followed through with it.

So, that's it! I hope you enjoyed these pictures! Which one was your favorite?
