Icing and Ink

Each year for the past four years, I have worked with the Southwest Initiative Foundation to develop an online version of their annual report, reach with a unique theme and visual presentation. I design the overall look, and the Foundation takes the lead in adding and formatting content. You can view previous annual reports on their web site.

This year's theme was "Just Imagine". The site features a shorter version of a documentary by the same name, developed by the foundation earlier this year.

Wilkie Sanderson is a custom manufacturer of fine wood cabinetry, institutional casegoods, solid surface products and architectural millwork. They were looking a minimalist design that showed off their breadth of experience and clearly communicated the great strengths of this company.

When I first started on this project, they had very little in the way of project photography, so in addition to building their web site, I took much of the photography you see in their "Projects" section. They wisely took the time to get enough quality photography of their projects before launching the site.

This logo is for Paula Hewett, a client I've never met in person, but really adore. :-D She is based in California and is starting up a custom cake and invitation business. I truly enjoyed designing this logo because it is fun subject matter and I could be girly about my design because my client is a woman, and most of her clients will also likely be women.

Right now, I am working on business cards and some other fun print projects. Then I'll be working on a web site. Look for more Icing & Ink in the blog soon!
