About Ann Gardner

It all started years ago with crayons and colorforms... I am a graphic designer who draws inspiration from history, travel, and nature. I love designing pieces for important celebrations and 'just because' events and hope that the art of letter writing never dies. Creativity has many forms, and as a classically trained pastry chef I also love designing with chocolate.

I just saw your business holiday card "It's Cold Outside" and noticed we both have similar design elements and messaging -- I'm so sorry...I did not see this before I posted mine. I noticed yours was posted a few days before mine was....I was afraid you would see mine and think I was inspired/copying....

Hi, Ann! I wasn't sure of a good way to contact you, so I thought I'd try this. You're one of my favorite Minted designers, but I've unwittingly created a very similar design to yours. I started a Forum thread about it here: http://www.minted.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1066&page=1#Item_3 . Just wanted to say I'm on top of it and having it removed!

Hi Ann, Thank you, I appreciate you getting back to me. Minted is like a blessing from out of the blue, an opportunity to be involved with the way of designing I am aspiring toward. The first 3 challenges I was way off, but I had fun. For the "Out of the box holiday gift tag challenge" I was way out of the box in a couple of instances, not sure about the others. I feel the concept is just out of reach. Seems I would know this but sometimes things take a little while until I "get it". I'm realizing that the limits and standards of the advertising world I was locked into are still with me; I have design habits. Is there a 12-step group for that? "Hi, I'm Debb W. and I am a bold-advertising design-aholic?" I need a fresh approach and any advice you can give on how to get there is a start. If it would be easier to email me my address is: clearbeautifulday@gmail.com. Again, thank you for your time.

I don't know if I'll have time to edit it before the deadline (depends on how needy our three-year old is tomorrow), but I will definitely play around with it if I have time. Thanks again :)

So I saw this on Dancing With the Stars the other night (Yes, I'm a pathetic fan, lol) and instantly thought of your design! Check out the second video on the link. http://www.jasonderulo.com/profiles/blogs/jason-derulo-performs-on

ps: just to clarify - i meant the lens flare I added might be bit much - not the stripes you suggested, I think those look nice :)!

Thanks for your input - I tried out the striped background and I played with the copy, but wasn't crazy about adding the word "and." I put a lens flare in the corner, sort of like a spotlight to balance out the text. It might be a bit much, but it has an interesting effect!
