Growth Studios — LOGO Design

Creating a professional LOGO & promotions package sets the tone for your business.

This was a 2014 project that I am just now adding to the blog. It was great collaborating with Lindsey to create an effective, eye-catching logo for her new business. The logo was then incorporated into two different styles of business cards and unique resume or cv (curriculum vitae) that graphically and typographically represented her career experience.
I have designed my own resumé, but this was the first I've designed for someone in a non-arts field. The importance of the visual design of a resumé is often overlooked, but of utmost importance. This single sheet of paper is the VERY first impression that someone has of you or your business. It should help you stand out and promote YOU from the start. This version was designed to be handed out or downloaded from the internet from the Growth Studios website.

Atlanta Production Consultants — LOGO design

I've done Christmas cards for Nicole for the last few years and she asked me to design a logo for her new company, Atlanta Production Consultants. She wanted to include the city skyline and a film reel since the nature of the business is to provide services to the film industry. She also wanted to use a "Georgia peach" color. You've got to be really careful with peach so it doesn't end up looking PINK, but I think we did a good job. 

I designed a her logo, facebook cover "photo", and marketing cards to highlight the services her company offers.

One of the beautiful aspects of this logo is that it can maintain the same overall look, but the colors can change to create an entirely different feel for seasons or events. We changed it up to shades of green for St. Patrick's Day and to highlight and upcoming event the company is co-hosting called Prodcution Link. FB Event.

My friend and neighbor is very talented behind a camera and has decided to pursue photography as a part-time career while she also raises her beautiful sons. It was my pleasure to work up a logo for her that fits her style.

Weddings at Chaumette

I love working with Rhonda. I began working with her as I designed an invitation suite for a bride getting married at Chaumette. Since then, Rhonda has been promoted to Director of Wedding Events and asked that I spruce up her business cards. I also designed the cover and inserts for the wedding event binder that couples marrying at Chaumette will receive.

Take a look at their awesome website and wedding blog. It is a truly beautiful landscape. What a wonderful place to get married!

I did NOT design the logo for Chaumette.

Peek-a-Boo Paintings BUSINESS CARDS

My extremely talented friend asked me to update her logo and design some business cards for her prosperous custom painting business.

She has a love for, and uses a lot of polka dots in her designs. It was only fitting to incorporate this pattern into her new design. I also used youthful fonts because the majority of her work is for young children.

Independent Professional: REALTOR

Caroline came to me as a realtor wanting a sophisticated, professional new look while keeping her color scheme of red and black. My goal was to create dynamic elements on her double-sided cards, thus creating two "fronts" instead of a front and a back. There was a lot of information included, but I am pleased with overall layout for both sides. I am especially happy with the interesting typographic placement of her initials to create a logo concept for her independent, professional career.

This is my first time including icons for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn on a business card. It was Caroline's great idea and I was able to manipulate the image files to match and fit beautifully into the layout.

Rounded corners and a high gloss finish on both sides are sure to set this dynamic realtor even further ahead of her competition.

If you are an independent professional looking for a new look, I'd love to create something special for you too. Email me for a quote and more information.

Independent Professional: EDUCATION CONSULTANT

Ann recently retired after 36 years in education. She now serves as an "Education Consultant" part time giving presentations through Service Centers. She wanted a business/contact card that was an accurate representation of her personality with a professional look and feel to leave behind.

I provided Ann with a series of styles and compositions to choose from and this is the design she selected. She wanted a double sided business card, so I suggested that she include either a favorite quote or educational philosophy on the back. Ann found a Chinese proverb that beautifully reflects her passion about a teacher's need to engage in continuous learning and growth.

I also designed coordinating flat cards for her to write brief follow-up notes.

Thank you, Ann for the opportunity to work with you on this fun project!

JDM Photography: Company Identity Package

Early last year I worked on a company identity for a talented photographer in the Augusta, Georgia area: Jennifer D. Miller Photography. She has been using that "brand" for over a year, but discovered that one of the other designs within her batch of compositions was a better fit for her company at this point. So, we switched things around!

I love the playful dots, and Jenny loves blue and brown. It all fits together beautifully. Graphically, my favorite part is the watermark. She can easily add this file to any of her images to protect her copyright on the files while simultaneously advertising for herself!

Elite Contractor Services LOGO Design

When I started designing logo packages years ago, I never dreamed I'd do so many in the construction industry! This is another batch of designs for a local contracting company. I'm very pleased with how they turned out and hope that my clients are equally excited about their new company identity.

Jennifer D. Miller Photography

My old friend from our military day's, Jenny Miller contacted me around Christmas to begin working on a logo design for her new photography business. Jenny is a wonderfully talented artist that has many areas of expertise including creating amazing murals, pen and ink drawings, painting and even teaching young people art. She has now shifted her focus entirely to photography and has done an outstanding job in the Augusta, Georgia area...and wherever she travels.

After lots of dabbling, tweaking and revisions, we came up with a solid "identity" for her new business. Her photography focuses on children, families, infants and maternity shots (no weddings) so she wanted something youthful and organic yet with style and professionalism. Once the identity was created, it was just a matter of applying the fun new graphic to business cards, marketing materials and advertisements.

One of my favorite parts about this logo in particular is that the color scheme can change to fit a mood or season, yet is solid all by itself in plain old black and white.
