The Rebecca Project is moving up in the world!
No longer shall I be scribbling out my old Australian number in texta and ruining the front of my old business cards, for I am the owner of a new set of American business cards! WOOOO!
Look! The Rebecca Project has new business cards!
I needed the cards in a hurry, so I ordered through VistaPrint because they were relatively cheap and a few people I know had recommended them. I was frustrated with the generic pre-designed templates, so I opted for the professional cards option. I designed the header to my colour and font specifications in PhotoShop and uploaded the image and voila!
This may not be the be-all and end-all of my final website branding, but it’s a start. Until I make a few more decisions on products, designs, templates and branding, this is how I’ll be known about town. It’s all starting to come together.
In an aside, I saw image on Design*Sponge the other day and loved it.
Colourful simplicity (and tidyness!)
I ADORE blue and green together, and really respond to the simplicity of the space. Plus, I seem to respond to homes that are lovely and tidy and uncluttered. Unlike mine at the moment…

Design inspiration
Editing, revising and failing
Have you ever had an idea that you thought was going to be AMAZING, and then it didn’t quite end up as planned? I have had boatloads of these, and tonight has been no exception. I am knee-deep in failed prototypes at the moment, and feel like I am lacking… something.
Sometimes, when I don’t stumble upon the right design the first time, or fourth time, I just feel so disheartened: I have poured hours of time, effort and resources into this! It should be perfect and marvellous and people should stare in wonder! But it’s nowhere near that.
One of the most sage pieces of advice came from J and it’s all about perspective. He knows I have just spent eight or so hours this afternoon actually designing and constructing the prototype, and always has some helpful insight into my work. I seek his advice because I am just too involved, too close to my work… and (again) he’s right. It’s all about perspective.
I feel am on my way to creating something innovative and interesting and something that is the most accurate expression of me as a ‘designer’, in Tim Gunn-speak. Today’s efforts will be just one of the many prototypes I will produce that will fail. And I need to remind myself that’s okay. I am furthering myself, my creative vision and solidifying my skills. It’s not failure in the negative sense of the word: it’s the ability to refine and edit. It’s an opportunity to expand the vision in a new direction. I am one step closer at 10pm than I was at 2pm this afternoon before I had even started.
A failure is an opportunity to innovate. Make it happen!
California girls…
It was a warm, sunny Sunday about six weeks back, when we decided to buy ourselves new rollerblades and associated equipment. Visions of those tanned, fit Californian women who go blading along the path in Venice beach bouncing around my head: to think I, too, could be one of those beautiful California girls the Beach Boys sang about.
Cut to the part where the trail we found ourselves on just up and finished without warning, and I came out second best… I have been laid up for the best part of four weeks, and slowly, my elbow is recovering. I still can’t rotate my arm outwards nor come close to straightening it, but each day I work towards not remaining injured through exercise and massage. I’m dying to get back to crafting and playing netball!
I entertained the idea of selling my brand new blades to my cousin, Colleen. But I am not sure I am willing to give up the idea of being a sun-drenched outdoorsy Californian girl just yet… not until I do some real damage 😉
TRP.
