live. breathe. design.

so for the past 2 weeks  i have been nothing if not addicted to watching the winter olympics. i just love the stories and all the energy and excitement.

while watcing i have been noticing the excellent branding throughout the event. i LOVE all the graphics.

the logo is well designed, incorporating the colors of the olympic rings. i enjoy that they used a character. he is also seen in sculpture (ice and rock) form throughout the venues. even more fun, his name is ilaanaq which is the inuit word for friend. a great term for inviting the countries of the world to compete together!

design wise i also love all the graphics at each venue, the blues, greens and whites are perfect and the illustrations are gorgeous.

the website is laid out in a clean and organized way, which makes it easy to find anything you are looking to read about. the branding and illustrations are incorporated in a way that makes sense and lend themselves to the organization of the site.

you may also notice the little cartoon characters incorporated on the web page. something new i learned this year is that each olympics has a mascot(s). in keeping with the other design, these mascots are illustrated beautifully, i LOVE their style and the characters!

printed on linen paper this save the date offers a clean modern feel. the custom illustration and type offer a soft whimsical touch.

i recently designed these custom beach thank you cards for a couple. they are getting married in the Dominican and want to stick with that theme throughout their stationery. these thank you cards were designed for their engagement party, and were created at 4″x6″ so that they could include a photos from the evening in their cards.

printed on a bright white heavy weight stock with 30% post consumer waste content these cards are a thoughtful way to show your appreciation to friends and family.

this postcard showcases cazenovia park when it had it’s own lake. this was the first of my vintage buffalo postcard collection – it’s fun to find new ones still

new website design revealed! i designed this site to compliment the logo and business system i had designed for frank bogulski recently. (photos soon!)

the client wanted something, clean, professional, traditional yet with a bit of a modern feel. with so many attorney websites out there – having your site stand out and easy to use is important!
