First niece!
Design: 2010
Client: Fam. Boot
This time the dead line was advanced no less than four weeks by mother Nature: Guusje was born when the design still was in sketching phase! This particular illustration was drawn in pencil on heavy water colour paper, coloured in water colour and accentuated in technical drawing pen. Some details have been edited digitally for final composition and the text has been hand written. The birds, which figure in the illustration, are also playing a main role on the birth announcement of Sjors, Guusje’s brother who was born on April 18th of 2014.
The card’s sizes are 148 x 148 mm and has been printed on wood-free MC 300 gsm.
The design was later used to create a lamp cover destined for the baby room. The illustration on the card’s inside was later applied to a playpen mat and crib sheet.

About MissPixel
Global entrepreneur
Based in Barcelona and working in the cloud, I love international flavoured collaborations. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French, like to travel and am curious about different cultures. Your project can be discussed in your office enjoying a cup of tea or we can set up a Skype call. There's always a way to communicate!
Skills
In 1998, I earned my bachelors in graphic design in Breda, The Netherlands. Just as the internet bubble formed, I moved to Spain and eagerly studied web design and interfaces on my own. Now, I combine design with teaching, as I love to share my knowledge with students and clients alike. A full work history can be found at MissPixel’s Linkedin profile.
Balance
The joy of work is in the balance: organising and taking care of customers in the user experience field, mathematical challenges in HTML coding and composing bright colourful palettes on screen and paper.
These three perspectives harmoniously come together into one goal: making people happy with useful and beautiful designs. Boy, do I love my job!
