Gina Huizinga (lol)

I did it! I started my own little company! I'm very happy with it and, despite the fact that most of it will be about translation, I hope that, in the long run, I can do some design as well. To emphasize that last point, I redesigned my own logo. For copyright reasons I was not allowed to use the name I had planned for my company, namely Sjors, as this weblog. I chose the savest one, my own name. So now I own a company called Gina Huizinga... Lol. Very exciting event with a very boring name, but it'll do. Anyway, I decided I needed to tweek my logo a little bit for that reason, plus the fact that I'm translating more than designing. So here it is, my new design! I'll see if I can reconfigure this site's banner as well... Would be good.

The text in this image refers to 'woord en beeld,' a common combination of words used in the Netherlands. Translated it means 'word and image,' hence the -image- of the rabbit, which in itself refers back to my original logo. Done in Adobe Illustrator.

English

I'll do this in English, simply because I seem to be better in expressing myself in English. Always have, don't ask me why. No surprise then that I am a translator (English-Dutch, Dutch-English) and love it. Not only do I like the languages, but also what I learn from the texts I translate. I have always been a curious girl, asking many questions. Some would say too many, but I think no one can ever ask too much.

Anyway, on this blog I tend to post my writings and drawings, since I love both and feel I should not be afraid sharing them. So there you go, my first piece of writing here, my first post.

All the best,
Gina
