FRONT: letterpress + handmade paper BACK: digital cmyk

This year I have had the pleasure of working with a Washington wine maker, Alexander the Grape out of Richmond. This reserve bottle needed a special and unique label that could be hand numbered. With a small run, we had to get creative… The outcome? We worked with an incredible letterpress shop in Seattle (Evolution Press) who printed the front label onto beautiful handmade paper. And for the back we printed a digital CMYK sheet to match handmade paper with a well known Wine label print shop (Elite Label).

I just finished a logo for a photographer in Seattle. For his online portfolio he uses Zenfolio.com. I was able to check it out while updating his logos and was very surprised how user-friendly  the interface was. Low cost, lots of templates to choose from and no prior html experience needed. I recommend if for photographers, designers, illustrators who have portfolio needs. Check out his www.jimboon.com

I love designing for events – whether it’s a one-time deal or an annual gig! A lot of my event work has been for non-profit fundraisers where we do with a save the date, sponsorship brochure, invite, registration packet, posters, signage, catalog, flyers, brochures etc…. but I love the small intimate gatherings like weddings and birthdays, where I get to make things by hand and give each event a unique look.

Invitations can be done to fit all budgets
