This take on Minted was made by undefined from , a member of Minted's community of independent artists.
At university, I studied graphic design and that was, in fact, my first job. I moved to London when I was 30 and continued working as a freelance designer. It was there and then that I started experimenting with watercolours and more artistic designs. A few years later, I moved to Switzerland, where I have taken several painting courses and continue to discover the fascinating world of watercolours.

Hello Maria, Thank you so much for liking my Holiday Card design :) Really appreciate the support!
Always happy to help! We all started somewhere on this crazy font journey and your type layouts are looking awesome! One thing I find that helps is to step back and look at the type as just another element in the composition. Then ask normal composition questions, is it balances, does it work in the space etc? Usually once I stop reading the words and start looking at the shape they get easier to work with :)
Hahah yes! most of them are not finished with editing =P
thank you so much. Maria! x
