Covers from the 2019 @chowchow_avl event program we designed. Missing times when we could sit around the table with many friends and clients to enjoy great food and good company. ❤️

#tbt #throwbackthursday When we were designing #brandcollateral for the inaugural year of @chowchow_avl this time last year. These little posters were a series that could be used to advertise the event in more of an illustrative style to help balance the use of a lot of #brandphotography. We explored layering little icons in a #risograph style to showcase the food, makers and products all involved in the event and providing for the table. ⁣

Big THANK YOU to #logolounge for selecting eight of our #logodesigns to be featured in their Book 12!!! @Logolounge is an extensive online database of logos crafted by designers and studios around the world. They had over 43,000 submissions to this year’s book and a panel of 10 experienced judges selected just 3,000 logos to be featured in their next book.

We’re thrilled to share in this honor with our clients and the fun collaborations we had with them over the past year to craft logos both used and unused that will be featured in this book.

Logos need sidekicks. 👯‍♀️ We absolutely loved building out this suite of secondary marks for @swasheville to help them visually communicate their story. We found an old S&W locker key in archive images that was begging for a little illustration icon. These lil guys are also great to use as merch.

We recently worked with @rangeurgentcare to make some updates to the #website we designed a few years ago to accommodate the multiple options patients now have to see them. We made it easier to select which location you'd like to see, go virtual, or have them come to you with their new House Calls service. ⁠
⁠
We love helping them and other clients get creative with updating their website. We try to tell folks that your site is organic and will need some annual maintenance and love to make sure it's still aligning with your service offerings and what you're customers/clients/patients need from you.

We love to put special touches on first impression

Designing #rackcards isn't just for simple teaser

Designing #rackcards isn't just for simple teaser brochures. They also can be used as a tool for educating your clients. We wanted to design a print piece that @holidaygrooms could leave with his clients to share tips for #straightrazorshave and also document some of the skincare products he used on them during the experience so they could purchase them in the future. ✂💈⁣
⁣
When crafted designs for #luxurybrands we really like to focus on unique opportunities and touch points to add value and make the #brandexperience memorable. ⁣

We also were excited to print these materials with the talented @clovestpress. They do such lovely work. 😍

In the spirit of #summertimeshine, this week we're sharing a #packagingdesign series for Poppy that features some summertime, outdoor activity themed #illustrations centered on community. Coconut Pineapple featured the beach. These iterations of the summer time bags weren't selected by the client, but were our preferred versions.

We’re excited to share with y’all that we’ve officially moved into a new suite at 47 Rankin Avenue, Suite 101. Basically, we just moved East a block from our old office on Haywood St. 🙌🎉 •
•
We had it in the works for a few months pre-COVID and pulled the trigger on the move three days before the pandemic which felt a little nuts at the time, but is working out well. I’ve had my eye on this building for a little over six years and watched as they slowly updated it and built it out. The Tyler Building is one of many beautiful architectural relics in downtown. When it first opened in 1928, its initial tenant was S.W. White Service Inc. an automobile service and storage station on the first floor, the second floor was a garage where he leased space. •

Special thanks to @form.function.architecture and @beverly_grant_inc for your expertise and hard work! •

We’ll share a few more images later this week.

One of the services we provide for our clients is #brandpositioning. We work with folks to help clarify their message and make it distinctive in a sea of advertisements and product marketing. For @motembofoods they kept talking about how they want to make food that leaves people feeling full, happy and healthy. Early on in our work with them, we started referring to this goal as #feelgoodfood. Overtime, this transitioned into the tagline: Purveyors of Feel Good Food™.

Today we're sharing #packagingdesign created for our client Motembo Foods out of Okemos, Michigan. We wanted to tell the story of their fresh, gluten-free and paleo friendly products by showcasing some fun, original illustrations of the ingredients in the soup. ⁣
⁣
We know that women are primarily the ones who do the shopping and buy new, premium products so we made this particular design a little bit more feminine with the styling and ornate wreath of the ingredients. This concept was one of two that we presented and is actually the unused concept but we loved it too much not to share it. We'll share the winning designs with you of the selected concepts in the coming weeks.

Over the past year we've been working closely with

"The details are not the details, they make the design." - Charles Eames ⁣

Sometimes we definitely stress over the details. When we originally designed this icon for @bargelloavl the client observed that the hand positioning of Aphrodite felt like she was not comfortable in her own skin. This became an ongoing and interesting conversation with @mandarahg about how to professionally display nudity while respecting the female form so staff was comfortable wearing this icon on a shirt, and parents wouldn't be upset for young children saw it on servers. ⁣
⁣
You can see this was an exercise on how to best present her form. Ultimately, we returned to the original illustration, but shifted the placement of her hand over her heart which made a big difference.

Grateful to be back in the office this week. We're fortunate to be able to socially distance in our space. Enjoying natural light, a supportive chair and trying to get back into a routine.

This week we're celebrating the two year #workiversary for miss @thetaycreative!!! 🎉🎈🙌Two years ago Taylor left her beloved home of Texas and trekked 1,300 miles to live in #Asheville a place she had never visited, but had heard it was cool and that she would like it. Super brave and we're grateful to have her talent, #dadjokes humor and friendship on our team. ⁣
⁣
She's touched a lot of fun projects the last two years and we're looking forward to seeing her grow into a #seniordesigner this year. Thanks Tay! ♥
