CASE STUDY: FORWARD FIT

The owner of Forward Fit reached out to me to help her establish branding for her professional training gig. She came to me with the company name and motto.

She wanted to approach this from a multiple product perspective, so I developed the Forward Fit logo intentionally to be able to accommodate product branding as well and provided her all the image files.

We went through many iterations of concepts to fully develop her branding feel.

At one point, an “arrows” concept was being considered but in the end she went with the strongest idea with a motivating color palette.

CASE STUDY: THE STYLED SORT

It is a real pleasure working with Professional Organizer Jennifer Snodgrass, owner of The Styled Sort. I helped create the initial branding for her startup business, including all the social media images for Instagram and Facebook. Helped her setup her WordPress website. Even generated a file for her to use for a custom monogrammed shirt.

Jenn is doing amazing things with her brand, and is very active on Instagram sharing helpful organization information and lifestyle tips!

I have taken Jenn’s professional headshot a couple times now as well, which she uses in various ways.

CASE STUDY: MARVEL-OUS ARCADE CABINET GRAPHICS

My vision was to have the colorist appear to be working their magic on the comic book art. I intentionally created areas that were not colorized and areas that I wanted visible, I added the actual color back to the art, using an eraser paintbrush, playing with opacities so it blended naturally.

My vision also included wanting the comic book page to “wrap around the entire machine”, with no visual breaks, so I expanded the vector graphic to fit the Game Room Solution’s templates. Then I added the comic book style header title, arcade controls labels, and instructions.

We built the arcade cabinet kit and applied the graphic decals, it turned out awesome.

Fit Foods with Claire Logo Development

It was a blast to work with Claire as she launched her healthy meal prep business, Fit Foods with Claire.  She has an amazing vision for her new endeavor and it was fabulous being able to establish such strong branding for her message!  We delivered several permutations of the logo in her custom palette, so that she can use it everywhere!  Thanks again to Claire for this wonderful opportunity!

ANOTHER GREAT ARTS & CRAFTS SHOW…

On Saturday I was at a small local arts and craft fair from 8am to 3pm, it was a quieter day but still wonderful to chat with new customers, neighbors, and especially the other vendors. It’s great to collaborate at these events with my colleague and friend, this is her groovy shop Fresh Cut Designs LLC. We share event space and created a really lovely little boutique shop for our work.

Check out these quick snaps of our shop space from our event on Saturday, love how it turned out!  If something catches your eye, go check out my etsy shop here: Vine Ripe Designs on Etsy
