Well, when you have a command from an intellectual ceramic artist, you have to pay attention her/his art, his character and his style. It is valid for the other customer too, but I am fond of analysing the people (well, if you watch regularly this blog, you can be sure !)So first of all...I drank a cup of tea with her. The advantage, I know her from my childhood. we talked not really about the visiting card but, we talked about the exhibitions, the ceramic in Izmir and in Turkey, then about her mother. I realised that she is a woman who pretends to be strong and rational, but inside she is very fragile and sentimental. Actually, she is like a ceramic ; she is so modern, urban, chic etc. but, she is attached to her values, to her rooths. Finding this match between her character and her job, I focused on soil colours which signify the ceramic but at the same time the rooths, the stability. As a form, it would be suitable the strongness and softness of an elipse with the finest initials of her name inside. That would mean strong and chic but very fine and fragile inside.
As I know that she has got so much books, I decided to design an exlibris for her. Because, she lends frequently her books but sometime the people exploating her giving back lately. When I gave her her exlibris gift, she was very happy !
