The Story of my personal branding
It was a beautiful spring day in the month of March and I was on my lunch break in Harvard Square with my Olympus camera. The year was 1999, and I was working at an ad agency called Baldwin & Stone situated in the heart of Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. Since my lunch break was an hour long I frequently took walks around the "Square" but this particular day I had my camera and I was heading down towards the Charles River. I strolled over the Anderson Memorial Bridge to get to the the Allston side the river where I took the photo that would forever be used as my personal an professional branding. I did some major color enhancements as well as colorized elements in the image. After all it was still March and there wasn't much lively color in my image. So knowing a few things about Photoshop I began creating my new branding image. In my image, the Weld Boat House is situated on the right side and the Anderson Memorial Bridge on the left side. Through the magic of Photoshop I applied my greens to the trees and punched up my colors of the boat house to make it the focal point of the image. With my Photoshop color palette and use of some filters, I created my image as we know it today. I designed myself a horizontal image with a speckled outer edge. I use it on my letterhead, business card and on my website header. Since the image was taken and manipulated by me it represents a small portion of my artistic creatively and skills. It one of my most favorite images.
The winning image is...
This image was chosen for my next Roslindale holiday card that will be on sale at the Birch Street House & Garden here in Roslindale this Fall, 2015. For many years The Pleasant Cafe on Washington Street has been a favorite eatery for locals for good home cooking.
