Russian Posters

Doing some research right now on Art Deco poster design, and came across some Russian posters from 1899. Love them!

2009 Recap

So, obviously I haven't contributed to my blog in quite some time. It's kind of embarrassing, actually. But, the last 12 months or more have been such a whirlwind of projects, spanning from logo design projects, full-on publication design, ad layouts, and websites, websites, websites. I'm going to put the following plan into official motion by putting it in writing, right here and right now: I will be redesigning my own website/brand in the next couple of months to more accurately reflect the type of work I'm capable of, as well as the type of working I'm looking to acquire in the future.
That's right- hold me to it!

Great Color Pallete ideas

It's hard to come up with creative color palettes time after time, for websites, print, whatever...
So with a simple google search, I was led to ColorLovers...Awesome! Gives you the numbers for RGB and Hex so you can input them right into any Adobe Suite program.
I'm going to be using this palette for Blithewold's brochure (It's called "The Other Side").

Frankie's going to the Tony Awards!

I've been working with Claudia Frankenberg from Frankie's Fruit and Chocolate for months now, styling her very cool brand of delicious treats. So far, I've taken the product shots, created a postcard, and we're about to launch her website. All very exciting, especially since Frankie's will be placed in the celebrity lounge gift bags at this year's Tony Awards!! Great exposure for both of us! Here's a shot from yesterday's photoshoot of what the celebrities (i.e. Nicole Kidman) will be enjoying...

Graphic design for events

I've been working with event planner Wendy Joblon for years now, helping her provide her clients with custom designed EVERYTHING for their events. Typically we're creating one-night-use logos for Weddings and Bar & Bat mitzvahs. I don't usually get to see the finished, printed work...but I've spotted the Club Zilla logo on Stoneblossom's blog!

More sweets

If you haven't tried one of Kristin Brennan's cupcakes yet, you don't know what you're missing! I used to associate the word cupcake with boxed batter and canned frosting...oh, how things have changed. Kristin uses the finest ingredients and has really unusual pairings- like vanilla and lavender. Foodies: be on the look out at the Providence area farmers' markets. We're in the final stages of her logo design for the her business appropriately named "The Cupcakerie". Here's what we've come up with...

Signs of Spring

Truth be told, I've been getting a little aggrevated working from home lately. Sometimes I feel like I'm cooped up in a cell. But, this morning, I was actually thankful that I was able to take a minute away from the computer to watch the little baby dove that has been trying to escape from the top of my airconditioner. I don't think he knows how to fly yet. Glad I had my camera handy...
