Fresh Start & Refocusing


This blog post is WAY over due but here it is! As you can see Tara Sroka Designs is going through a brand redesign, which I hope you like as much as I do. The past few months I’ve been really loving the retro old school designs I’ve been seeing all around. I felt it was fitting to update my graphics at the same time I am refocusing my services.

Last year I really focused on offering custom designed scrapbooks and was a huge advocate of documenting your memories. I love scrapbooking and plan to continue with the custom scrapbooking service upon request but I am shifting my design gears to offer more design services. Services will include marketing & branding for small business, blog/website/e-commerce/social media design services, resources for photographers and cards & invitations.

Now you might be thinking, “You did all those things before anyways, so what’s different?” Well, yes I did but I never really marketed myself as doing all of things but now is the time! I love scrapbooking and really enjoy doing it but feel I can do more for people in regards to other services. I don’t want to limit myself as a designer.

I will continue to blog about scrapbooking but along the way you’ll see more design inspiration, products for photographers and more examples of my design work from all mediums. More or less you won’t notice that much changing with my blog content, as I’ve always been true to myself on here.

So I currently am taking on clients/projects for April on. I am working on a price list for basic services but since I specialize in custom designs/services most projects will be estimated on a project to project basis, so contact me for a quote. I will be adding to the contact form soon a more detailed question area to get a better idea of your projects.

Please be patient while I redo my website. I want to make sure to do it right, so it will take some time. My main focus is jumping into client work and projects, so the site will eventually get done.

Speaking of rebranding, all of us at Pink Ink Studios just revamped everything and it’s looking awesome! The site has been redone and we’re working hard on revising products and adding awesome products for photographers! I’m really loving the new look over there as well as mine. It feels good to start over with the start of a new year! If you are a photographer and are interested in having custom designs done please contact me. I can help you with cards, marketing/branding materials, logos and any web needs.

In the meantime, I am super excited to bring you Wedding Week coming Jannuary 31-February 4. I am working hard on gathering lots of fun eye candy, resources and fabulous wedding inspiration. I hope you will join me and stay along for the ride as I reinvent myself.

Here’s to a fabulous 2011!

Design Trend Watch: Peace

I originally wrote this article for Pink Ink Studios but thought it was worth sharing here as well. If you spot any cool trends you want me to feature please leave a comment on this post.

Following trends and staying current is one of the keys to a successful business. It’s important to stay on top of consumer trends and to strike when the iron is hot. Trends help keep your business stay relevant to the times.

I recently noticed the return of the peace sign & symbol in the design world although I’m not sure it really ever went away. It seems everything from clothing to home decor to jewelry is decked out in these fun loving peace icons. Even many major companies like Target, Pottery Barn Teen and Old Navy just to name a few have a ton of retro peace related products in their stores. Pottery Barn Teen has some great peace related ideas that would make awesome props for your photo shoots including pillows, 3D peace signs and various backgrounds.

So the next time you need to funk up your photo shoot or designs maybe you’ll consider incorporating some peace icons into your next project. And to help your designs get groovy you can purchase my Peace Symbol Brush Set at Pink Ink Studios.

Be sure to stay tuned next month for more pop culture trends to help your business stay up to date and in the know.

Sweet New Designs

Here are my two new products debuting today at Pink Ink Studios!! We are getting into that holiday spirit in July. It’s kinda weird designing holiday items when it’s so hot outside but it’s also refreshing (pun intended!) as well. And I’m lovin’ the sugar cookie Hanukkah card too. A few months ago I came across a fabulous tutorial in a magazine that showed how to make your own sugar cookie digital elements. I swear I want to turn everything into a sweet sugar iced cookie!! Maybe I’ll try an experiment and see if my face drawing will work as a cookie. LOL!

Anyways, stay sweet peeps!
