Travel Catalog No. 2

Spring break is around the corner and here is a beautiful travel album to inspire your planning.  This glossy 8×10 softcover book is full of colorful images and descriptive text that together tell the story of an incredible journey to Southeast Asia.  It will be in good company next to this New Zealand album on the coffee table…

The trip itinerary, as well as a page dedicated to each hotel stay, give a sense of place and lay the groundwork for all of the details that follow.

This book is a great example of the power of “The 3 C’s of Photography” that I learned from my friend, Elizabeth Dillow.  As my client travelled to 3 different locations on this trip, she captured all 3 C’s – allowing me to easily design a book that tells the rich story of this family trip.

  1. Context: the photos that set the stage or establish the setting
  2. Characters: the people/relationship shots that make the context meaningful
  3. Close-ups: the details, the color commentary, the zoomed-in perspective of the elements of any given story

Keep the 3 C’s in mind as you travel this year – perhaps 3 photos will be all you need to tell your story and keep your phone and hard drive from overloading!

One for the Wall no. 3

memory keeping with kids artwork + minted giveaway | suzanneobrienstudio.com

Memory keeping is not just for photographs around here.  Special school projects and artwork also become integral parts of our home.  I kinda fell in love with my daughter’s latest art project…

When I heard the story of its creation (this was not the first draft), I knew it deserved a spot of honor in her room. As I looked to see where this watercolor could fit on her personality wall I realized that space could use a little refreshing.  I headed over to one of my favorite sites that supports independent artists, minted.  You probably know minted as an online custom stationery source, but did you know they also carry a line of beautiful art prints?  Their unique pieces are perfect additions to a gallery wall with other meaningful art.

When the minted team approached me recently to partner with them on a giveaway I was happy to say yes!  Giveaway details are below – here are some favorites I’m considering to complement the flamingo art.  We both love the gold foil trend, so I’ve got my eye on these two pieces…

I’m always drawn to typography so we’ll see what she thinks of these prints, which remind me of a song her grandmother used to sing to her…

These are a few of my favorites, the winner of the giveaway is free to choose any art print they would like for up to $75.   This giveaway is open to U.S. and international readers, simply leave a comment on my Instagram post telling me what room in your home would be happy to have a new art print from minted.  The giveaway is open until Friday, February 27, when a winner will be drawn randomly and announced here and on Instagram.

Frame one of your own pieces and them visit minted’s entire collection of beautiful art prints in the gallery here!

*UPDATE: CONTEST & COMMENTS NOW CLOSED*

Congratulations Brianna, enjoy your new minted print!
