I am a little bit obsessed with my Siamese cat.
While thinking about trying to design an idea for my business card I started drawing an illustration idea based on my cat..
My initial idea was to create this design for a company branding. I have long considered that if I were to set up my own design company I would call it 'Sneaky Design' ... And my cat to me is the epitome of sneakiness.
Anyone familiar with the habits and personality of a Siamese Cat would completely relate to this. Plus the siamese has a reputation of clean, elegant, sleek, regal qualities which I feel relates to design.
So I began, as always to draw some ideas for a logo in pencil, scanning them and using Illustrator and Photoshop to manipulate the drawings...
Here are some of the ideas; this is still a work in progress, but I wanted to put some potential ideas up. I am still currently experimenting with textures, typography and colour.
Name Ideas:
'sneaky', 'sneaky design', 'siamese design' (taken .. grrr), 'siamese', 'boy siamese', 'half siamese', 'go siamese', 'ok siamese', 'evil cat', 'crazy cat', 'crazy cat design', 'quirky', 'siamese cream', 'cats eye', 'cat-i' 'curious design', 'curiosity',
Original Pencil Drawing:
Re-drawn in Pen:
I then cut the drawing in half and re-drew the lines in order to create a better symmetry within Photoshop.
Then from here I basically used this design idea to attempt to create some different card styles.
I have 100 versions of drawings, scans and traces .... But I'm sure you get the idea
