Today, I was so busy that I had no time doing any blogging. I was heavy duty working on packaging concepts with my Adobe Illustrator. The packaging concept is for another project I am working on and I can tell you more about this very exciting development in May. Every day I am getting a bit better there on Illustrator, and by the end of this project I will probably have mastered 40% of its functions. Amazing what you can do with this piece of electronic logic.
So I spent my day in front of the computer, and will also spend a good part of my night in front of the same computer. I wonder how many gallons of Swiss Alpine water had to flow through a turbine somewhere in the mountains to produce the electricity that I used today. A lot, I guess. Let’s hope it was worth it.
Before getting fixed on my computer, I was piling up two piles of boxes on two palettes in the morning; thew will be traveling through the same mountains right now. Uff! That was my exercise for today.
And before that I was in a last minute effort making a few lot labels. You can see them in today’s picture: They are the lot labels for the upcoming PENTACHORDS, that I will launch in September at Piti. Thus, mark your calendars, because September 10 is the Pity weekend in Florence. And this year, Piti is going to rock! I am considering to do some prelaunch measures with these PENTA babies that are so special. Thus, I needed a few samples to start with.
It has been a while since I last talked about actually creating a fragrance. It is always amazing again how much time and efforts go into sharing the fragrant babies with the world. But then, to be honest and frank, sharing them is equally interesting and rewarding like creating them.
Before I can go a little bit more into details on the PENTACHORDS -WHITE, _AUBURN and _VERDANT: I need to go for a day to Paris. Thus, I will spend some good 8 hours in the train tomorrow. Time to answer a few e-mails on the go.
Illustrator is a great software, I’ve used it to prepare the drawings for a urban planning exibition.
Looking forward to smell your new pentachords at Pitti (with double t
) next september.
PS: spending the night on Illustrator is such an architect cliche! Are you planning to start drawing houses?
I have just become familiar with these lot labels.
This one reads: “Zeta – a lindem blossom theme ZET-ALB-001″
As for the perfume, in colors I would describe it as verdant greens, layered with accents of translucent yellows and pinks.
Andy, I look forward to smelling your Pentachords.
Best wishes.
Good evening, Tyler
I make a brake and am happy to read that you actually could read what’s on the lot label for the linden blossom theme.
Printing and putting these labels on was initially troublesome but we adapted and these days we can put them on in our sleep!
Good evening, Alessio
Actually, one of these days, we might
I am dreaming of a house in the desert. …
Hi Andy. I am also looking forward to the Pentachords. In the meantime have a great time in Paris. Any perfume sniffing to be done while there?
Safe journey to Paris, Andy… and don’t keep us waiting too long for info about the Pentachords, please.
reading about your new “babie’s” is very exciting! I work as a secretary for gynaecologists and following your blog is almost like a kind of pregnancy.haha. With hopefully very beautiful childeren in the end. I am looking forward to your creations.
Fragrant greetings to you all.
I am back from Paris after a long, long ride in the train.
Here a few comments:
@Jen: you know, to be honest, there are not so many fragrant reasons to travel to Paris. you have the larger selection in Rome or London. I wanted to sniff a few things, but the sales reps were so annoying that I just walked out again.
@Persolaise: Sure thing, promised!
@Mary: I hope I can nourish all this babies
