Going-to-Texas Party #1

Lindsay — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:44:44 +0000

The first send-off as we head to Austin, Texas is a big ol’ get-together with all of my & Aaron’s families. We sent out a postcard invite with a corresponding minisite for RSVPs.

Handy-dandy tea towels

Quick! How many cups in a gallon?

How many teaspoons in a tablespoon?

Wonder where the 1/8th cup went to…

I had my tea towel designs printed on linen by Spoonflower, and then stitched them up myself. I’d love to do a wider variety of design for fabric.

Sip is a yet-to-be-opened café in Washington, DC, looking to put its best face forward.

Stephanie & Christian: Invitation suite

Lindsay — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 18:35:39 +0000

This wedding was one of the most special days I’ve been a part of, ever. I still can’t believe I was lucky enough to design invitations for it.

I created different patterns for nearly every side of every bit of paper, drawing inspiration from, really, the couple themselves. As with their Save the Date cards, I drew elements from their home, which is filled with vintage textiles, feathers & dream-catchers, art & music (both their own and friends’), and happy animals. C & S wrote all the text themselves, and I love their balance between beautifully lyrical phrasing, and completely casual.

USSF 2010

The 2010 United States Social Forum (USSF 2010) was a profound event – a time and place upon which social justice-seeking individuals and groups from across the States converged to do many things in a matter of just five days. Organizers term it a movement-building process, and those who attended called the Forum “a collective space that emitted a productive sense of solidarity, unity, progressive voice and vision that I’ve never experienced [before].” At the USSF 2010 in Detroit, participants and organizers hosted myriad cultural and political events throughout the forum, and held an incredible 1,086 workshops.

This is all to say: this thing needed one heck of a program book.

The cover was created from the building blocks of USSF’s graphics suite, conveying both a seriousness about the work to be done, and a deep hope for what our collective future can hold.

As part of the Forum’s commitment to ensuring accessibility, program contents were printed in Spanish and English. This was carried into the tab organization of the publication, to facilitate easy navigation of all 120 pages for as many readers as possible.

The back cover includes a wink to all the Detroiters in attendance, whose pet name for their city is The D.

WABA: Winged bicycle helmets

Alyssa Best

Lindsay — Tue, 24 May 2011 17:15:10 +0000

For her growing career coaching practice, Alyssa needed a fresh, engaging identity with which to greet prospective clients. I developed a word mark with custom lettering, that feels welcoming while communicating action, connections, and “upward movement”. She and I were both thrilled to see her new look applied to lovely letterpress business cards!

Once her identity was complete, I developed a simple yet highly effective website for Alyssa.

Vintagey Valentines

Valentine’s Day always reminds me that I’m fond of a heck of a lot of people — not just my “official” Valentine. I made these cards for my etsy shop, so folks can share all the fun things they want to do with their friends & sweethearts, ASAP.
