Summer Work

This summer I was able to stretch my design skills by designing Vermont Children's Theater's Web site. 

As part of the project, I have also been expanding their brand, to include more options for their logo (to come) and brand colors.

The colors evoke summer and the joy of theater. The red (the primary color for the company) represents the barn the theater is located in.

The secondary colors each represent different aspect of summer. The blue is the Vermont summer sky, the green is the grass around the barn, and yellow is the sun.

Unveiling My Updated Brand

In addition to being an illustrator, I am also a graphic designer. I enjoy taking on branding projects. Recently, I felt that I needed to update my brand slightly. I use Adobe Jensen because of the classic feel and that it does not look so crisp and clean. For this iteration, I played with the quirky quality of my illustrations by making the C in Barclay slightly askew. 

Yesterday, I received my new set of business cards. I went with Moo for printing because I could have 50 different images on 50 different cards. I have been very impressed with the quality, price and service. I felt like a child on Christmas day. 

And Now for something a little different

Over the summer I was asked to do some branding projects. This is one of them. Branding is another thing I enjoy. I particularly like doing the icon. They are a great company as well.

I still have a few bow ties up my sleeve. I will be posting them soon, I just need a small break to finish my grading for the semester.
