Designing this modern aesthetics company branding was really interesting for me. My client had a font in mind that I hadn’t really considered for the project and I really had to get to know it and how to use it to make the logo mark we ended with. I actually really like how it turned out, another reason my clients are the best. They totally inspire me and help me move outside my design shell.

XOXOX,

I just did this branding for an amazing girl with fabulous style. She is starting a daily deals site focused on fashion and helping people find good deals on unique items. Hopefully the site will be up by Christmas so you can buy all of your gifts there. Her style was simple, malady ailment fashion oriented and targeted towards online shoppers with a younger style. I had a ton of fun making the patterns for this and mixing the neutrals with the pop of orchid. The goal was to keep it classic with a tiny bit of spice.

Had the time of my life doing this beauty. I absolutely love art history and when I got the opportunity to design a dance poster the first thing that came to my mind was the artist Degas. He was famous for painting ballerinas in the late 1800’s. I wanted to use his work as a traditional twist on the modern dance posters I was designing. He uses a really painterly style which is really modern and his color palette is amazing. I used several of his painting to fill in the letters to build interest that had symbolism in it. The theme was unwritten so I did a little play on that with the stacking of the large letters making it a little harder to read as well as the missing letters in the word below each letter. They turned out really cool. As far as my inspirational song, I am OBSESSED with this cover by Bastille. They have a whole album that is just covers and most of them are amazing. Love this band.
