I received this note in the mail today and it really made me smile! Thanks Jen (of Jen Capone Photography) can’t wait to see the new studio!
PS: My letterpressed business cards and note cards and Emily’s business cards and gift certificates are in from Anemone Letterpress. They are so beautiful, as soon as I have a good shot I’ll post.

…of taking pictures that is. Working with Lara Swanson has been so much fun, and forced me to push the envelope in terms of what a photographers logo can be. Her photography is vivid and fun and alternative. She asks brides to look into themselves and question tradition. I really like how her logo came out. It is strong, alternative, and slightly askew. We’re working out colors right now, and a new blog header. She is totally into trying new materials (she’s considering plastic business cards), and I think her final brand package with be amazing. We’ll keep you posted as the new materials develop. For now check out her website: http://www.laraswansonphoto.com/ Thanks for making my job such a blast Lara!

I love type + I love pop-up books, so this clip is totally inspirational to a type-pop-up geek like myself. Check it on YouTube until I can figure out how to put video on my blog: ABCs in 3D

I knew I would love working with Abby. First of all, her myspace page had an entertainment combination of Eminem and Ira Glass, a fusion of favorites I had thought was only liked by myself. Plus, her photography is so fresh, and vibrant and fun! She wanted to use a rose but in a cool stark rock and roll kind of way. I’m showing a few choices from the first round, and then taking the one that she really liked and exploring as many possibilities within that original style. Guess what? She decided on the original, and I totally agree! Sometimes you just have to go through the process though. It’s already up on her website, we’re adding it to her blog header, having cute pink square business cards made up, and going to start working on a brochure. I’ll post photos of things as they come back from the printer. In the meantime, check out her website: www.abbyrosephoto.com. It has been such a pleasure!

I know I promised new logos and they are coming… furiously working toward some new postings. In the meantime there is a fantastic program you may or may not know about called tap project. $1 of your bill at many participating restaurants is donated during March 16-22, to providing clean drinking water to children through the world. Just $1 gives a child 40 days of clean drinking water. So before you go out to eat, check here: http://www.tapproject.org/ A pretty painless way of being charitable.
