Christine-GreatOakCircle — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:47:35 +0000

Hey friends! Welcome to another awesome spring weekend! Anything fun on your schedule? I’m meeting friends at the Farmer’s Market, and hoping to catch a few minutes on the back porch with a good book! And I’m looking forward to celebrating my mom, hubby’s mom, AND being a mom. It’s my 3rd mother’s day with my sweet Boogie. In business news, I’m introducing you to Suzanne from The Painted Drawer today! Check out her graphics package below…

Logo, business card and art show banner shown above. Below, I did a re-fresh on her website that includes a custom header, menu bar, social icons, custom fonts and a post footer graphic. I also love the sidebar links to her Etsy store.

Take a look at her amazing furniture! I sorta love designing for so many talented furniture re-do ladies. Each one has their own, beautiful style!

Make sure to check her out! Blog here, etsy here:) Happy weekend friends!

Facebook Design: Update your look!

Christine-GreatOakCircle — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:16:06 +0000

Don’t you love spring?!?! What a time of fresh renewal! The whole earth bursts forth in bloom! If you’re like me, all the faded, winter colors that seemed so snuggly and comforting all winter are being quickly discarded for bright and cheerful hues. What a fun time to freshen up your business graphics! Check out the lovely spring/summer version of Bienvenue’s logo on their facebook page.

It’s totally ok to change up the colors of your brand, especially somewhere fun like facebook. No need to order new business cards and price tags, this kind of change is quick and only for a season.

And below is the original logo, still used for all print materials.

What colors make you happy in warm weather? Try some out!! I’m off to enjoy some lemonade, another warm weather fav:)

Adoption Fundraisers! Psalm 91:4 t-shirts

Christine-GreatOakCircle — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:19:58 +0000

Hey again friends! Sharing a special need today…another close-to-my-heart adoption story. What a blessing to get to know so many sisters-in-Christ through my adoption program. Maria and her sweet family have been matched with a baby girl due in May {whoa that’s soon!} but need to raise more money due to the cost of a failed recent placement. Can you help? I had the joy of designing a t-shirt for them that’s available in several colors and fits. You can check their shop out here or their blog here to learn a bit more about their family.

Thanks Maria for blessing me with this project!!! Have a happy day everyone!

Blogger Design: Arrows of Hope

Christine-GreatOakCircle — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 21:41:38 +0000

Hello friends!It’s dark and rainy here, but I’m trying to enjoy the last anticipation of warm weather. It’s supposed to be 80 next week, I’m very thankful! I’m sharing a new blog design with you today for a precious {and very cool} family. Courtney is such an example of clinging to Christ in the midst of adoption trials. I met her through my Free to Adopt program. Have you heard about it? You will so love reading her first post, and I know you will come away encouraged. After a failed placement, her family is fund-raising to begin the adoption process again. I hope you’ll help. I hope you’ll skip coffee or a cupcake {eik!} today and instead donate to this sister-in-Christ. Visit Arrows of Hope now.

In other sisters-in-Christ news, a special thanks to Joy who drew this beautiful arrow and some of the other hand-drawn elements you’ve seen around the blog lately. Don’t you love her already!?! Have a wonderful day!

Blogger Design: Grace Upon Grace

Christine-GreatOakCircle — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 20:22:39 +0000

I am so privileged to call Suzanne a best friend. What a joy to carry other sisters in Christ close to your heart for accountability, prayer and laughter. She is a gifted Girl’s Minister in the Atlanta area, and recently asked for help with a new site design. I love the verse she chose from John, which lead to her blog’s title, Grace Upon Grace.
A quick look at her mood board: I’m loving the fresh mix of mint, mustard and navy, grounded in burlap, and accented with chevron patterns and mason jars. It’s the perfect mix of Southern roots and modern style. Go check it out here!

WordPress site design: Couponing with Kim

Christine-GreatOakCircle — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 18:28:50 +0000

Kim is a repeat client who needed a website to blog about deals and steals in the Atlanta area and throughout the country. She also offers couponing classes, where she teaches tricks and tips to save the most green! She had an existing fab logo, so I used the green and pink colors, tempered with gray, to create a fun and functional site! Her design includes a blog home page, static pages, calendar and registration options, social icons, grab button and unique fonts.

Check out the calendar and registration function below! Couponers can find classes, register, and pay online! Kim gets to set date, time, number of seats, cancelation policy, and get a roster for each class! So easy! Check out her site here.

Thanks Kim! Your site was a blast! Have a great day everyone!

Logo, Print and Website Design: Atlanta House Sitters

Christine-GreatOakCircle — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:03:05 +0000

Atlanta House Sitters was such a fun project for me! This great couple runs a home and pet sitting business in Atlanta {hire them!!}, that offeres a range of services to those headed away from town. They wanted a logo that reflected their biz and their city and we did just that!

A professional script and peach graphic are set off by a navy house silhouette and orange tagline.

Standard business card size with front and back design. The back is a perfect place for extra info and a mini logo outline. The addition of orange shapes and navy dashed lines add variety and resemble the road out of town {hopefully on vacay}.

Half-page flyer design, front only, to place at local businesses. The navy house shape is duplicated in white, creating another orange graphic.

Simple website design offers more info and ways to contact. This is the perfect example of an informative website with no blog page.

Thanks for choosing me to design for you! Have a great day everyone! We are off to enjoy the sunshine;)

Logo and Business Card Design: The Wedding Godmothers

Christine-GreatOakCircle — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 19:09:46 +0000

Lisa and Mary are snappy, creative and fun business women with kids who married each other! So they are mothers-in-law-in-law? They have recently made their passion for planning into a wonderful business of creating and coordinating beautiful weddings. They live in Arizona. Need a wedding planner in Arizona? {hire them here!!!} They came to me for a logo and business card design, and I just knew it would be a fun project!

The Wedding Godmothers logo is a modern fairytale with a stylized carriage border, magic wand and purple stars. It’s combined with a mix of calligraphic and serif fonts, staples of a beautiful wedding.

The standard size business card offers a nice size logo front and deep purple back. Lisa and Mary want to direct potential clients to their website to view featured weddings, as well as ideas and inspiration. We focused on the web address, offering phone numbers as a second contact option.

A beautiful wedding I spotted in their portfolio;) Such loveliness!! Great work ladies!

Are you a start-up or small business owner looking for smart branding? I would love to chat!
