Meghan and I finished up her blog design quite a while ago, but it’s taken me this long to finally post about it! Hey, better late than never, right? We had so much fun working on this, from the very beginning to the end. The mood board for this project is one of my very favorites – she wanted to go with a writerly/retro/professional feel, using black and different shades of blue as the main colors. She wanted to incorporate a typewriter somehow, and I think figuring out how to do that was the hardest part. I tried quite a…

Client Mood Board
I love the colors and style we’re using for this project. While we’re using pinks and purples as the main colors, there’s an edge to the whole thing that keeps it from being girly. I think the combination of soft pinks with hard blacks – just like the combination of the flowers with the shot of the city – is really neat. I’m enjoying going in a direction with this project that I haven’t gone before! So far we’ve finished the logo and are on to the site…and we’re going to do some pretty unique, full-of-personality things with it. I’m…
Bleu Alice : Blog Design
This design is probably one of my very favorites so far – I love its simplicity, with the little elements here and there that make it what it is. I think my favorite part is the handwritten “Bleu Alice” at the top…I love incorporating hand lettering into designs. Alice was so easy and fun to work with, and since we have very similar taste when it comes to design it was even easier to achieve what she was looking for. Visit her site here! I don’t normally include what could be termed a “brand board,” but because there were some…
Clean + Simple : Client Mood Board
We just finished up this project yesterday, and I have to say I love how it turned out! We were going for a very clean, modern style, using the colors of the ocean and some well-placed dark grays. We ended up using a combination of script and typefaces…which I am such a sucker for. When I was working on my own brand I knew I had to use both because I love both styles so much! One thing Alice mentioned to me before we started on the actual design was that she loves the style of VSCO Cam – the…
Addie Zierman : Blog + Business Cards
I loved working with Addie on her blog design and business cards – we were going for a professional, writerly feel. She chose a beautiful teal and a burnt orange/gold for her colors, and we went with a very clean and simple layout for the bulk of the design. We ended up moving her site to a new domain, and she was so patient with me as we both worked through all the tiny details of moving and redirecting. We also did business cards for her, which was great as I got to collaborate with Eric and Hannah from Typeset…
