Here is the first set of logo design for Gnomes Homes. The website is currently using 11 which is the one I prefer, so it wins by default! I have yet to show these to Sean or the rest of my design advisors.

I’ve started building the website for Gnomes Homes. Here’s a look at my process.
Clean

Colors

Minimalism – Lots of white space

I definitely wanted the website to look clean, but also to be playful and cartoony. Here is the final mockup. The tree was added to anchor the website – a floating gnome home does look a little odd.

The spaceship theme. I probably won’t draw any more until we have samples printed from the textile printers. They assure me that their printers are very precise and that I do not need to simplify the artwork – but I am a little skeptical.

The first set of artwork for the blankets that will decorate the inside of the play house. The blankets will be double sided – gnomes on one side, and submarine on the other. Many more themes are in progress. These are huge, 10 x 2.5 feet –  and of course vectors!

I have been speaking to textile manufacturers from Vancouver and Toronto and have not been able to find a company that will print large continuous artwork on fleece blankets. I finally found a company in China that is willing to try, thought I still have to split the artwork into 2 pieces. The company is Shanghai Raiz – so far I have not been able to find any negative reports on them on the Interweb.

Here are the schematics for the interior and exterior blankets. These are the plans I have been following to create the artwork for the blankets.
