Recent Branding Boards

Here are some recent branding boards I've designed.

I haven't blogged about many of these because I've been so busy working on new projects. Every time I think about blogging, another deadline gets priority. Needless to say, all of these clients are very special to me and deserve their own post(s)...hopefully some day soon I will have time to share the stories, tears and sweat that went into each project. BUT, these days I'm lucky to post one work-related project per month—so here goes....

More coming soon. I saved some favorites for the next round so stay tuned...

New Branding: Friends of the Delta

I just finished the branding design for "Friends of the Delta," which is a group of folks who work together to promote a new National Park in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. See the website here. A new website is currently in the works! It was such a fun project to be a part of, and I can't wait to see what the "Friends of the Delta" do to help promote and restore our beautiful Mobile Delta.

So much going on around here!

Here's sneak peek of my desktop and camera roll from the past couple days. I'm working on some exciting projects, including my own re-branding and website. More details coming soon. As always, thanks for visiting!

Atchison Home - will work for furniture

One of the fun things about my job is bartering; however, I rarely barter these days for obvious reasons—I work to help pay the bills! BUT, when my friend and occasional tennis partner (and now client) Taylor Atchison, asked me to design their new Atchison Home logo, I had to make an exception.

Atchison's is probably my favorite home store in the state of Alabama—and maybe the entire southeast for that matter. Seriously.  It's that great. I love to wander around their THREE-story shop and drool. Problem is, my budget doesn't usually (or ever) allow me to shop there, so bartering would be my only hope to owning a real "big-girl antique" Atchison's piece!

We've been working on several design projects, but the first one we conquered was the branding. They're changing their name from "Atchison Imports" to "Atchison Home," so they needed a new logo. They wanted to keep the same overall look of the Atchison Imports logo—it just needed some updating and freshening up. I also created a web version of the logo, since the square design didn't fit well with the new website. 

And here's a sneak peek of the new website (AtchisonHome.com) which is COMING SOON! Get ready, you'll be able to shop online and see everything that's in the store, online. This is going to be so exciting for them AND for anyone who lives too far away to visit! For now, you can visit their current website. I'll keep you posted once they launch the new site!

So...I brought my design team with me the other Saturday to walk through the store and help me select a piece of furniture. I've visited several times over the past few months and just couldn't decide—so I needed another set of eyes.

When I saw this beautiful armoire upstairs I knew it was perfect for our space. I immediately fell in love.

And here's how it looks in it's new home.

love the detail.

I took our old armoire (see post here) to a local furniture consignment store (High Cotton) because we didn't have room for it. It surprisingly made me sad to see it go. I loved that little piece—especially after I painted it—but this is something we'll have forever.

Gotta love a good barter!
 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! HOTTY TODDY! I'm sure we'll get killed by Bama this weekend, but if you're an Ole Miss fan, you're used to losing so it isn't a big shocker!

Recent Design Work...

I recently finished a logo and tri-fold brochure design for AccuReg Software. We completely rebranded their company, and I loved meeting with their team and coming up with an entire new look that suited them perfectly.

Their website has not been updated yet to compliment their new branding, but for now you can compare the new with the old. Please click here to see the entire brochure. What a fun and challenging project, and I was honored to be a part of it!
