As you know I know a little something about the usage of animals within a logo. Take note of my company logo below. There’s something about a dog or a cat or panda bear used in a companies branding that adds a little something to it. In my opinion it tends to bring life to a logo.

Sitting on my dining room table as I type this are pieces of Ms Owen’s designs – two books that feature her creative artwork on their covers. This was how I was first introduced to her work. My interest grew and I thumbed through her portfolio. This is when I found out how talented she really was. It is a bit demeaning to call Veronica Owens a graphic designer. She is an artist. Every since [...]

Continuing with The Dogg Blogg Women’s History Month Series this week’s feature is Lanae (The Complex Media & Design). I have always admired her work and was honored to feature her. What I most admired was her ability to transcend her knowledge of design and eye for that perfect look into many different mediums; from photography to multimedia to print and web design.
