michelle & chris

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

the planning begins! one of my greatest friends Michelle is getting married to the wonderful Christopher! I’m in the wedding…along with Bea! another great cohort. Michelle asked me to do their save the date’s and of course I’m all in. I need to find some time to get together with them to do an actual portrait for them.

I started playing with the type and the numbers. luckily they have some great numbers that will be fun to play with while designing this.

GP Grad Party Invite

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

My little not-so-much-of-a-baby-anymore cousin GP is graduating from HS, and Aunt D asked me to design the invitation for his graduation party using a nice photo taken by a friend. Cool! Two early versions….pls note for family – the date on the invite is not exact. It is just placeholder text. In case you were planning a trip to Croton for the party.

save the date project

Friday, February 26th, 2010

well this week was a roller coaster of professional highs and lows, but I’m doing my best to keep my chin up and keep myself busy doing projects that are fun/interesting/challenging to me. Current job situation is decidedly not fun/completely boring/and not challenging.

A colleague referred me to a couple getting married this summer. They want a simple postcard save the date. Here is first round. They had pretty specific ideas on what they wanted – which simultaneously makes things easier and more difficult. Please note the copy on the back of the post card is not decided yet. Hehe those wild and crazy kids.

Spoke to the client, he is happy! likes the french press silhouette and wants orange and to add the words: coffeehouse and espresso bar. And now, time to send the invoice ;-)

NEW STUFF:

A coffee afficionado friend of mine moved to DC and is opening a coffee shop. He came to town a few weekends ago, and asked if i would design the logo for the coffee shop.

here are some stabs. the name of the shop is Filter, and it basically is because of the french press filters he will be using. they look like a cross inside of a circle, so that is where some of these came from. the ones with the script typeface came as a surprise, i think i was listening to some old timey jazzy music while i was working on these, and i think they kind of work.
