This project started when I saw that my friend Kerrie had started a Facebook page for her mobile hairdressing company, and she didn’t have a logo and had no way to promote herself outside of Facebook. At the time of this, I had just started college studying Graphic Design, and just learnt how to use Illustrator for the first time, so I decided to give myself a challenge to create my first logo and test my skills I had learnt. I came up with an idea of integrating a pair of scissors to the logo to help potential clients know that she is a hairdresser.
I was really proud of the first draft and so I sent it to Kerrie and she really liked it. She then said that she would love me to create her a logo and a business card design. She sent me a few other examples of what she had thought of, including creating the ‘K’ out of a pair of scissors, as well as a colour scheme. This was when I created a mock business card for Kerrie. She liked it, but thought it was too simple and needed more information. After a lot of discussion and experimentation, we decided on this as the final outcome.
A few months later, Kerrie got in contact and asked me to create her a price list so that she could give them out to her clients along with the business cards so they know what they will be paying. Of course, I said yes and we worked together to create this for her. I took the logo and background colour from the business card and placed it in a new document. Kerrie then sent me her price list and I put it into the same format/fonts as the business cards. Kerrie also requested her phone number and Facebook information. After adding these I then sent it to Kerrie and she loved it, and I really enjoyed doing this project, and it certainly helped me learning how to get the hang of Illustrator.
