Leah's Sweet Treats Box Sign

Leah called and wants to create a box sign that will stand outside of her bakery to draw in foot traffic. She really wanted people in their cars driving up and down her street to immediately recognize what it is she sells....cakes and cupcakes. While dreaming up a design for the sign I had a slightly medieval thought. Quick history lesson...Back in the 16th in 17th centuries so many people were illiterate that shops used pictures of what they sold instead of words on their signs. That way even if you couldn't read, you still knew exactly what kind of products the shop sold. I've applied this idea to Leah's sign. Super graphic, super simple. People driving or walking up and down her street will know in an instant what it is she sells. I figure the brain makes associations more quickly with images than it does words :)

Jim Thorpe Logo

2012 marks the the 100 year anniversary of Olympian and all-around amazing athlete Jim Thorpe and his achievements in the Olympic Games of 1912. I have had the honor of designing a logo that will be used for advertising and sponsorships to commemorate the Centennial Celebration of Jim Thorpe at the 2012 Olympics. My client, Meridian Sports Management, asked for a logo that was official, historical, and important looking. Above are all the mock-ups I created for my client...so far, their favorite is the one on the bottom left. Of the four, I think it's the most modern take on a historical logo.

Leah's Sweet Treats Coupon

I designed this web coupon for Leah to use on Facebook. She'll post it once a month for people to print out and bring in to the bakery. Black and White was the way to go so no one uses up their color ink printing the coupon. Very Cool!

Modern Retirement Planning Brochure

The folks from Foresight Education, LLC are getting ready to launch their new workshop system product, Modern Retirement Planning, at an upcoming event.

I suggested an 8.5x11in trifold brochure.

Store Hours

Leah needs a window decal to display her bakery hours but we can't just do ANY OLD THING...so we have an exact die cut vinyl decal...22x15in ready to go on her store window. Her windows are tinted so I've put the design on a dark gray background so you can get an idea of what it would look like on her bakery door.

Save the Date

Soooo....One of my clients called me up over the weekend to tell me that her beautiful daughter is getting married! So fun! She's having a New Year's Eve wedding and wants to send out a Save the Date right away so people can mark their calendars. Her colors are blush and ivory and she wants something flowy and romantic. The design will be printed onto 4x6in magnets so guests can stick them on their refrigerators. I gave her three different options in terms of color-scheme...can't wait to see which one she picks!
