Should I get boots? or sneakers ?
I want them all!!!!! ... or just get nothing. #thewisestchoice

[struggle]

I have been working on and off this candle label design for REALLY LONG TIME!!
At first, I liked the simplicity of design, but after then, I started to dislike about it. 

It is too quiet... nothing noticeable, nothing special about it. 

So I stopped working with this personal project.. 
but I can't give up forever. 
I have to figure this out. 
.
.
sigh sigh struggle damn it! 





I got a request from my work to make a poster about their event.
The purpose of this poster is to let all the people at work know about this event, 
and make them to apply it. 

Main color theme for this poster is related to company's logo 
,which are lime green and ultra marin blue.

As my main duty is designing layouts for their magazine, 
this kind of work request refreshes my brain.

My name is Kate Kwon. Well.. my English name is Kate Kwon.
I called myself as Kate when I was in ESL in 2007. 
I used to want my name as Chloe, but my roommate at that time
thought Kate is more suitable for me.
Since then, I have been living with this name and I love it. 
because I think the name 'Kate' is really simple ,
and I like simple. So my name for a website should be simple. 
Just exploring my name in different logotype.


So hot today.It is really humid hot. 
 Like this weather, I can't stop thinking about lying on the yellow sand 
on a beach.. having realxing time.
I am trying to do more blog but it is hard to be honest. 
But I'm trying to make more image and design for personal matter.

I got wacom intuos for a present! 
This is my second wacom tablet for my entire life. 
I wasn't a tablet person when I was in school, but 
I recently have had fun playing around with tablet and 
this wacom intuos tablet makes me more into the tablet world. 
Absolutely, love it. 
Thank you @kisungkoh <3

mom in Canada #1

Mom in Canada #1

My mom flew 13hrs all the way from Korea to Toronto. 
It has been 7 years since the last time she was in Toronto. 

It was so good to have family(well.. almost) time:)
one week after she came to Toronto, we went to Elora. 



It was rainy and chilly, so there weren't many people walking around. 
but Elora downtown is still pretty place :)


Elora downtown has not only has beautiful antique buildings, 
but there are many unique and beautiful store signs around this town. 





There are so many pretty and nice stuffs here.

This is just sample.
There's gonna be a lot of change.

I was going to put that pattern for my website background.
I just don't know how...... 
guess it is time to know a little bit about how to make your website pretty
.
.
.
well, just not putting it is another solution?
