I thought up a design with curves and followed through using the

pen tool to create the curves on the header and bottom of the flier.
I changed the shape of the photo into an ellipse to keep the curved
design going. I created a heirarchy of text with subheadings and body
copy. I also curved the title.

Create a uniform stationery set

Make a watermark

Process:

I created a logo in Illustrator and used it in a buisness card and

letterhead design. I created a bar in a softer orange than the logo and
carried that bar across both designs. I consistently kept the contact

that it would attract some attention to it by itself. The watermark is just
the logo design without the text.
