Hobie’s Porch Chair Repair & Planet Art Rack Cards

We completed a website for Brandy earlier in the year when she was working from a home studio for her chair repair businesses. As her business picked up she needed a larger and more accessible studio space. She found such at 375 Depot Street in the River Arts District. The move enabled Brandy to also kick start her second company, Planet Art Picture Framing and Gallery.

With two businesses to promote Brandy asked us to design two sided business cards and rack cards, so she could not only save on printing costs, but also easily cross promote her skills. We had just completed the design of her Planet Art logo, so the timing was perfect. Now surrounded by other artisans and in an easy to access location, Brandy and Dave are staying very busy.

Essential Journeys Lotion Labels

It has been a pleasure working with Kimberly of Essential Journeys as her business has grown over the years. Initially, I worked with her on refining her logo and creation of marketing  materials for her Soap By the Slice line. Now she has multiple products and luckily for me they all need graphics.

One of my favorite items to work on has been the labels for her lotions. Bold colors + illustration focus = happy design time.

I love finding the colors that speak to the lotion flavor, be it Lavender Morning, Almond Spa, Zinnia & Gardenia, or White Tea & Ginger. Added to these initial four are Chai Tea,

Thai Lemongrass, Purely Naked (unscented), and my favorite Grapefruit Splash.

All lotions are available in 8 oz. and 16 oz. sizes, with a select few also available in a 2 oz. travel size.

Check our the Essential Journeys website for ordering lotions, Soap By the Slice, Lube for the Lips and more.
