Armani Competition Results

I am sure most of the older ‘fans’ of my blog remember the Armani competition I entered in March this year. Fortunately, I had over 26000+ votes that pushed me to be ‘The National Winner’ of visual print in the category of other countries. For my reward I won a set of ‘his’ and ‘her’ expensive Emporio Armani watches as well as six sets of perfumes. I’ve thanked you all once before and I want to thank you all once again.

^ This the ‘her’ watch I won. I suppose my only question is ‘What do I do with it?’. It’s lovely but I really don’t think I’m ever going to wear it. I haven’t since I got it and I planned on selling it on ebay or whatever else. Hmm… Any suggestions?

What Is Dis? A New Theme! OH MY!

How did this get here? Who made the header? Where am I? O.O

Several Contests Entered…

The thing with contests though… I never win. -_- But it’s fun none the less and I want publicity!

Diana Warner StudioDiana Warner Studio Ad - A prestigious jeweler located in New York. Her stuff has been featured in magazines such as Glamour and Justine. Her most recent campaign having to do with a percentage of the money made through the purchase of an Obligato necklace that goes towards giving clean water in Africa to the needy.

Diesel Wall - Diesel Wall BarcelonaBasically a free for all to graphic artists/photographer/etc that get their work put on a huge wall in either Barcelona, Manchester, New York or Zurich. My entry is for Barcelona. Manchester is already closed and Zurich has been chosen. I can’t say I’m horribly fond of the one they choose. But none the less, why not?

Amazingly, they all seem to have a trend. And that trend is me. I need models I don’t have to pay. Anyone want to volunteer?


XIII Coat of Arms
-XIII Coat of ArmsNothing too fancy and it wasn’t a contest. Just me fiddling about in photoshop with just myself and a mouse. Not too bad for just that I’d like to think but I don’t know what the hell else to do with it so someone take it off my hands.

That’s just about it with a few side logos here and there that took a couple hours and got me no where. But I would like to think of it as slowly grooving into the whole portfolio. Heh.

Earning Money… Hopefully

Since my skills are limited to mothering, wifing (what does a wife do these days?) cleaning, cooking and photoshopping, I’ve decided to enter more graphic design competitions in hopes of getting my measly work noticed/used. More importantly paid for. I want to help kill the debt. So I whore my graphic skills.

That’s just it though. I can only whore my graphic skills because I can’t make a website for a nice portfolio. >.<

My Life Updated

It was my career and now tis my life. Such a cute piccie of X and I. One of the Armani ones I decided not to use because his face wasn’t in the picture to much. Meh thinks he enjoyed kissing on me too much. xD

Anyway, X has a new blog theme. What do you think of it?

New Header Again

I like this one best. Mehe.

Design The Poster Results

I suppose nobody would really care about the actual results but to keep it short, I didn’t fair so well. Must build a bigger fan base, neh? ^_^

As for the Armani Design, again, that finishes May 31.

I said it many times but I can never say it enough, thank you to everyone who voted in both the Poster and Armani Design contests. :) I will frequently update how it’s doing.

Other than that, I spent most of the day playing with Evie and Puzzle Quest. Mehe.

The Armani Idea

Soft Seduction

This was the idea and I need a seal of approval before it goes up. Any thoughts or ideas? Help and/or feedback is appreciated. And thanks for hanging in there. Again, it’s an ad campaign that will take votes just like the poster before. The Armani contest site is having several glitches so I won’t be able to put it up just yet and voting hasn’t commenced just yet. :)

Emporio Armani Design

Being an avid fan of fashion that I am (too much America’s Next Top Model and Cosmopolitan), I got more than excited when I saw this. And honestly even more surprised when I saw the prize. Not only 5000 GBP but also advertising mania! That would be one heck of a springboard as well as a huge load of debt taken away.

Honestly, I don’t know what I’ll do yet for it but when the time comes I hope to see a) you’ve entered the contest as well or b) you’ll vote. :)
