word play
A little fun with words turns into the face of a thank you card. Because I still support snail mail and handwritten notes, you might be receiving one!
layers create depth
Unexpected pieces, like floor plans and architectural drawings, can be more that just an informational element and provide a creative depth. Showcasing the photos on a white, shadowed background creates another layer, adding to the feel of depth.
When consulting with a client, I like to know what materials are available to work with: photos, drawings, text content, etc. Many times, the client may not have these elements, but they have samples of what they like. A line drawing here, a photo there. These samples give me a peek into the mind’s eye of my client – their vision of what they want. I use them to design elements that will be combined to create the final product.
Below is a sample of a flyer that was designed using client provided content.
