My Website: Programming Patience

Lots of back and forth with my programmers around here. We're finalizing my new website—and crossing my fingers we will launch very soon, hopefully 2-3 weeks max.

So much hard work, sweat and tears have gone into this site. I honestly don't think I've ever worked so hard on any design project in my entire life. This site redesign started Spring 2013, so considering it's now FALL 2013, I am ready to have this baby behind me and in front of you!

Happy Labor Day weekend!

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 and Website: Caroline Ceramics

The new Caroline Ceramics website is live! This was a true labor of love, and we so worked hard to make sure this site was everything it needed it be, including a shop and a blog. I can't tell you how much I love this girl, and it thrills me to see her beautiful work come alive on the site. The site design and branding is so Caroline, and that's what matters most in the end.

We can't wait to celebrate this beautiful artist's wedding in the Highlands in September!

Check it out. Caroline is the complete package. Her work is so original and beautiful, just like her sweet little self!

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.

New Website - Sneak Peek

The new hadleybinion.com has been sent off to get programmed. We'll keep you posted once it's live! All photos by Devin Ford Photography.

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!

Gold Foil

I'm loving gold foil these day, and am having a blast designing with it right now for my client (and good friend) Caroline Reehl.

I've had the pleasure (and true honor) of watching Caroline develop as an artist. When we first met she was 22, fresh out of college, and beginning to follow her dream (and god-given talent) as an artist and ceramicist.  In just three short years, Caroline has grown into a successful entrepreneur / business-woman / ceramicist. We just updated her logo and overall color palette (see below). I'm in the process of redesigning her website, blog, and other print material. She's wanting a more professional look, to reflect where her work is now.

Here's a sneak peek of her blog redesign. MUCH more coming soon! For now, you can follow Caroline here.

Caroline is so, so talented and an absolute JOY to work with. We've worked together for 3+ years, and have become such close friends along the way. Stay tuned for many more designs featuring this amazing artist!

New Branding: Liz Legg Designs

Liz Legg recently contacted me to develop a new logo design for her business. Liz designs the most fabulous jewelry and ceramics (mostly decorative bowls and platters). Her work is organic and edgy (not to mention good-looking!), and we wanted her branding to reflect that.

I recreated her personal signature, and we decided to use the top logo (in the image above) as her primary logo, and the bottom design as a possible icon in the future.

Here are some images of Liz's work. For now, you can view more of her work on her facebook pages (here and here), but her new website is coming soon!

 Liz is based in Birmingham, but she recently had a trunk show at Debra's Boutique in Mobile.

I can't wait to see what's ahead for this talented, young designer!
