My First Moo Products Review

 As it is early days with my artistic freelance career one of my objectives is to keep my expenses low. I was in need of promotional products, so I researched a few printing shops and online stores. I came across Moo.

This online design printing store is stylish and very appealing. Sign-up and apply because they offer a sample pack of some their business cards. 

I do like the foil business cards in the free pack however, I knew I could not afford this at first, so I researched what was in my budget and ideal for my illustration needs. 

You can start designing your business cards right away and utilise the save button to your advantage. This gives you time to create more work, edit and resize your designs to place in the designated space areas on the business cards. I love this feature! 

Whilst I was working on more illustrations and artwork to add the design slots I received an email with a discount I could apply to my business cards. This is valuable! Take advantage of great offers like this to help keep your business expenses low on promotional tools. Plus, by going for the cheaper option it is a great way to test the service out.

I went for the Matte Laminate Business Cards with space for fifty designs. I chose my best and diverse designs for the front of the cards and then for the back I kept my brand name, keywords relating to my business and links to my website, social media and email organised as simple as possible for a well-balanced composition. There are quite a few delivery options, so I opted for standard delivery as I was in no rush. 

The package arrived on time and fitted well through the letterbox. No waiting around for the delivery person!

Inside was a rectangle slide box that holds my business cards neatly, organised and compact, making it easy to carry around and hand out to potential clients. Check out my business Moo promotional materials in the images provided.

Once I have run out I will upgrade my business cards and take more advantage of the design spaces with my next order batch. I am thinking the Letterpress or the Gold Foil Business Cards.

I also highly recommend investing in the Moo stickers. It was an affordable treat for my freelance business. I uploaded my logo brand name in black and white and ordered them in soft rounded square stickers. These are a nice touch to the back of my cello bags for packaging up orders for my online stores. The sticker pack is an excellent and low priced promotional item for marketing your business.

Take a look for yourself and browse the vast array of options that Moo.com has to offer. Here is a referral code for your new Moo promotional materials enjoy!

Organic details

 

 

 

Sections from some organic illustrations I have done. These are fun and using bleach creates lovely colours and is unpredictable with the marks. Shame I hate the smell.

Throwback Fashion Doodles

                             

Sketchbook doodles and the one above is an erratic marker pen drawing over  tipex. 

                             

My favourite thing to do layering inked lines over each other that appear abstract but you can also see the different body shapes. 

                             

I love collage and layering with abstract figures. This is exciting and always no doodle is ever the same.

Spring organic illustrations

A few of my latest Spring organic illustration details. I had a lot of fun with these. Inspired by jellyfish, vines and branches I used inks, fine liner, tipex and bleach. They are available to view in full on my Society6 store. I incorporated geometric shapes around them. 

Blurred lines

Details of some experimental, organic and abstract pieces from my sketchbook.

Flora

Details of some of my floral/organic illustrations available on my Society6 page.

Sketch and doodles

Every time I draw an animal they look kind of evil and even my figure sketches look a little dark. 

New designs and products added to Society6

Yay! Managed to finally get my work onto more and some of the new products available over at my Society6 page.

There are throw pillows, tote bags, mugs, laptop cases, phone cases, wall clocks and clothing you can now purchase. I am still getting used to re sizing certain work of mine because some of it looks good on certain items. 

Here is the link to my S6 society6.com/KeeleyJones.

Little organic details

Organic Illustrations

Snippets of organic illustrations I have been working on. It's fun and more experimental plus no image is ever the same.

Family illustrations

A project I really enjoyed and based it on certain people, friends and pets who I consider my real family past and present. I collected old photographs, drew from life and images on to envelopes, scrap paper, note paper, acetate with pens, tipex, inks, watercolour, oil pastels and pencils. I pinned and clipped the individual illustrations to two long pieces of string on a board with little found objects I discovered while gathering research for this project such as old bits of jewellery, beads, buttons, clips, bows, shells, brooches.
