Where is Derek?

Hi yall, I haven’t posted anything in 6 months. Yikes! So many things has happened since March. I went to the Philippines with Mina for a week, a whole slew of mishaps occured but in the end, we had a good time. Then for the summer, Mina and I went to Vietnam and had too many things happen that I would have to dedicate a couple of posts to that adventure. Recently, I have been working on the tokyokaleidoscope website. I am almost done, there are some minor things that need tweeks. Check out www.tokyokaleidoscope.com to see what I did. It’s still underconstruction but I will tell you when I am done. Also the business cards were done over and I can post those pictures. I will be coming back to NYC from Nov. 11 to Nov. 16 for my brother’s wedding reception. I look forward to seeing you guys when I get back. It’s been too long.Oh and I working really hard on word press theming lately. This could be my next move. Oh and I am up for my second visa renewal! The good news is that this year they are introducing a 5 year visa! Oh yeah!

The letterhead for TokyoKaleidoscope. The white space on the lower right is supposed to be, behind the business card which is clipped to perfectly match the dimensions of the contact info.

What do you think? The bottom pages with the business card in the center is the overleaf.

I tried pushing the mannequin and pattern business cards but the more simple design was chosen. What do you think?

I am making the TokyoKaleidoscope business cards, what do you think?

I tried to incorporate the bustform, kaleidoscope pattern and logo ( I didn’t make the logo). The shape of the patterns, mimic the shape of Japan with the stars in the general location of the major cities. I staggered the pattern a bit to mimic the logo’s staggered tokyo/kaleidoscope pairing.

Tell me what you think. The business cards will be printed in the colors of the rainbow. From purple to red.
