About Smudge Design

Established in 2003, I started Smudge Design as a freelance graphic design business. It has since grown into a full time career that allows me to fulfill the need to create and inspire. Being a huge pet lover, I decided to name the business after my beloved pug "Smudge" (8/1996-6/2011). I look forward to getting to know more of you within the Minted design community and sharing feedback. Renee

Hi, Renee! Thanks so much for your comment on my Happy Ever After design. You like the version submitted with teh gold text, right? (vs. the one with white text on gold background in the comments). I uploaded way too many options...

Hi Renee! Thanks so much for your comment on my design. Wondering what you think of the new layout. I wasn't crazy about the flags as I am suddenly seeing so many designs with them so decided to simplify. Only if you have time of course. Thanks! http://www.minted.com/design-rating/87844

Thank you so much for your encouragement on my Indian Rush Hour illustration, Renee! And I'm so glad it gave me the opportunity to come back here and see all of your wonderful pieces for sale. You are quite the type mixing expert! (one of many talents that I see in your work) but the ease with which you are mixing and matching all these interesting typefaces is so inspiring since that's an area I'd love to grow in. That inspiration notebook is particularly stunning. Thanks again for brighting my day :)

I just love your work! Your Music Notes notebook is just amazing. Also think you have one of the best religious Xmas cards on the site. Anyway, great to meet you, and will hopefully see u at next year's L.A. Meet-up.

Hey Renee, thanks for your feedback on Vintage mill. I took your advice and nudged the copy up a bit. If you have time would you mind taking a second look and let me know what you think, if it's enough or needs more. It's a very subtle change but I didn't want to center the entire thing, I was going for more of a rustic, hand stamped feel so perfectly centered would deter from that I think. Thanks again :)

Renee, thank you for your kind comments on my designs! I love that you named your business after your little Smudge. I would love to see a design with him in it...for the holiday challenge? Pugs are huge!! and I know a lot of people who would love to see more pug Christmas cards :)

hi renee, thanks for your comments on both my holiday designs so far. i just uploaded a new version of the "baby it's cold" design, darkening up the colors a bit. they seemed more washed out than i intended once i submitted it. do you think it helps? or should i revisit the colors altogether? congrats on your recent wins, by the way:)

Hi Renee, I like your suite of cards for the +3 holiday challenge. I especially like your type treatment and icons at the bottom! I wouldn't mind seeing the photos a bit larger though. I personally like clean designs so overall I think you did a great job.
