My question is, how do designers and artists go about naming their works? I often wonder if there’s a formula.Īnd why don’t visual artists name things the same way composers do? Piano Concerto No. And if you consider that Shakespeare lived during that era – and composed Romeo and Juliet right in there somewhere – then yes, I think the design’s name makes a little more sense.

There’s absolutely no reason to call it “Fair Verona,” beyond the connection between my niece’s name and Shakespeare’s play. ![]() Or maybe hemlock, or some kind of poison, is featured in the foliage? With a name like Fair Verona, you’d think the stylized flower would have some Italian flavor to it. Guess what I discovered? I discovered that the rest of my family is pretty much just as good at naming things as I am!īut one of my nieces chimed in and said I should name the design after her – Juliette – and that’s how I came up with Fair Verona for this design. So, after I drew this particular design and then vectorized it, I sent it around to my family and asked for some input on a name. Maybe Rise and Shine? But wow, can you say cliché?

Although it features more leaves than flower, the flower is certainly the central focus of the design. This particular medallion sports the type of rose that I love depicting in silk and gold.
