I have fInAlLy come up with a name for my company… Art Shredz.
I have to give most of the credit for this title to my partner who suggested I call my business Shredded Paintings. When he first suggested it, I liked the idea but found it didn’t have the ring I was looking for… As well, although I have only talked about my paintings in these blogs, I do make other art as well so I wanted to avoid narrowing my skill down to just paintings. As you know by now (if you have read my earlier posts), I love to make paintings that involve my hobbies (skiing, biking, etc.) which is where the “Shredz” part comes from. I thought the play on words was kind of fun too. 🙂 For the UVic Artisan market that I will be attending on November 30th, I have mainly stuck to a skiing theme while preparing my merchandise and so, I thought this title would match perfectly.
On top of coming up with a company name that I am happy with, I also designed a logo on Pro-Create. I have barely ever made digital art before so this was a cool learning experience! Shout out to Anju for letting me use her Ipad:)
Here is the logo:
My goal was to have business cards for the Artisan market; however, I am struggling to find good websites and free templates online… I tried Shutterstock and Wix but they were much to expensive. I would have considered possibly ordering from a cheap websites, but I’m afraid they won’t arrive on time. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!! For now, I have made a design using Word, here it is…
Thanks for reading!!

Hi Nova,
That name sounds so cool! I love your logo for the business, something I have never seen before. I can’t wait to see what you and Yireh end up selling. Maybe for your business cards you could use Canva to get your template, get some thick card stock paper and print it off like that? Not really sure how business cards work so hopefully you’ll be able to get it all figured out!

Hi Nova!
I agree with Jess – try Canva! As we learnt in this week’s Ed Tech class, it has awesome templates, elements to use, different fonts, colours, all sorts of things! I’m not too sure about printing but I know my dad prints his business cards through Vista print (https://www.vistaprint.ca/business-cards). I don’t know how expensive it is but I know it comes pretty quickly!
Stoked to see how this plays out!

Hey Anju,
I appreciate the recommendations :). I looked into Vista Print a while ago and thought it was too pricey but based on further research, I think it’s actually pretty average so I might give it a go.
