​The sales team wanted leave-behind material and we were up to the task. We created this pocket folder and large brochure to suit their needs. Our designs typically reflect the overall brand with the consistent use of the icon throughout the design. 

Trade show graphics are sometimes challenging.  We saw this as an opportunity to showcase two of their products. This custom built booth has a window louver built into it and hanging over the top are architectural sunshades. The suspended TV  monitor exhibits the many projects that show their success stories.

Our goal was to create a clean, simple site that showcases this client's success stories. We chose the URL www.gowithelemental.com as a call to action. With team photos that help the customer not only put a face to a name, but with a "unique" perspective and architectural feel. Check 'em out!

​TPM ColorLab prints large format graphics and color output for multiple uses. We originally branded them 10 years ago using the a colored labrador retriever. People immediately identified with the dog and the client was happy to have a campaign with "legs" (ie, paws, the tag line: "Here Graphics, Here!", etc). 

​Since they deliver and print their own car wraps, it was an obvious solution to design a vehicle wrap to advertise their capabilities. This easily recognizable graphic was seen running all over town!

​As time progressed, TPM decided they wanted to update their logo for the ColoLab. In keeping with the same concept, I still wanted something a little playful and yet a design that would show the variety in the kinds of products they offer. One color just wouldn't do for the "color" lab. This forward moving design gave them something to get excited about. A revised tagline offered some freedom to say, "Go crazy, use your imagination... design something wild!"

​This is a capabilities piece showcasing their work. It includes 8 pages of work from outdoor large format printing on concrete to small trade show booth panels.

​This logo was a lot of fun to work on. The design had to be contemporary and yet conservative enough to fit into the hotel space. The open grill was my inspiration, but I didn't just want to show a flame. This restaurant is so much more than just flame grilled meat. It offers unique Southern fair with local veggies. The simple, yet unique font gives it a clean, contemporary feel without taking over the design. With a name like "Sparks" the logo needed to burst off the page! 

​This elegant menu has an easy insert page on the back so the items can be changed as often as necessary. The padded design with the stainless logo gives it a sophisticated feel and contemporary look.

​Since the entrance to this restaurant is inside the Marriott, we kept the sign simple and mounted to the wall as you enter. It is easily visible from the lobby and a draw for hotel guest. The area outside of the restaurant is a beautiful, redecorated bar called Mesh.

​We were also hired to design a logo for the bar outside of Sparks restaurant. We wanted it to compliment the restaurant, but also stand on it's own. This simple, elegant design has an infinity symbol that show infinite possibilities for meeting new and exciting people.

​We reflected this logo off the center wall in the space.  in this beautifully decorated space, they offer food and beverages, fireplace lounging area, pool  tables and a wii video gaming area.

​In addition to adult beverages, Mesh is also a coffee bar. This sign is visible from the lobby area to draw patrons in for a lite bite and beverages.

​This logo seemed to just come on the page on it's own. I've designed 100s of logos, but this one has a special place in my heart. After it's completion, I ended up creating an entire font out of these quirky letters. We used different color "o" symbols to communicate the ever changing and creative menu items. In 15 years, Soby's has been a great success and allowed Carl Sobocinski to open other restaurants to continue his dream.

​The sales team wanted a piece that would showcase all of their services. This folder was a small size, only 6" x 9" to create a compact packet of information.

​It's not every day I get to design a wine label. Shug Wines partnered with Soby's to bring a house wine to be proud of.

​Safety flow systems are at the heart of this design. AE Solutions designs a lifecycle system that is like no other. Their passion for design and attention to detail have made them leaders in their industry. This simple design became the inspiration for the Process Safety Lifecycle graphic that came years later.

​With multiple products and services, AE Solutions has much to offer. This series of brochures beautifully displays that. We color-coded each division which starts with their Process Safety Lifecycle graphic shown below.

​As most people know, engineers love their flow charts and as a designer we love to hate them! I'm so proud that through a 2 year effort what was once a boring flow chart, has developed into this beautiful oval. Through many versions, tweaks and adjustments, we've simplified this down to the bare essentials that tell the story of their processes.

​This flyer tells the whole story of the lifecycle. The base on the oval breaks their company down into three divisions. Our desire was to create beautiful, colorful pieces that would help them stand out in an industry that typically is bland in their marketing.

​This dynamic booth has proven to be very successful for AE Solutions. We've simplified their story down to two major graphics. AE Shield is a software product they've designed that's featured in this booth. AE University is their training program.

AE Shield is first software product AE Solutions has created. The inspiration for this design came from the icon of the original logo turned into a stronger, metallic design on top of a 3 dimensional shield to show strength and confidence in a product that will protect your systems.

​This ad shows some sample screens from the program and the health meter tells that this software will keep your systems running safely. This ran in trade magazines.

This logo was challenging. As much as we love teachers, they are too smart for us! Our goal was to show that the Montessori way of teaching took the whole child into consideration. I was fascinated that they use colors to teach English and shapes to teach social studies. This "full circle" design was fun and identifiable. 

​This piece was designed for the capital campaign to raise money to build the high school. "Graduating Full Circle" was our concept to show that this high school would complete their program of lower education-from 18 months through 12th grade. We combined the brochure and pocket folder into one piece with a pocket in the back for sponsorship opportunities.

​Montessori is a wonderful learning method. We were inspired by the way the use colors to teach grammer. Each subject plays off of each other. It's like a ripple effect... 

We started working with Head Quarters in 2002. They had a basic logo that they were happy with, so we started with a "circle" concept to carry the brand through. This is one of our signature concepts. To us things that reinforce the brand, are the elements from the logo that you can subtly add to the marketing pieces. This brochure of services and folded business card that also had the basic list of services did just that. 

​This client loves change! This is the services brochure we designed in 2005. the cover collage and lighter colors gave her a fresh new look that invigorated her salon. with 100s of offerings, these small, but unique brochures still fit into the square folders we had originally designed.

​In 2009, this client decided she wanted a new brand. The old "HQ" was too stiff and had lived out it's life (we did not design the original HQ). We did design the font however and made the decision to keep the font as we had originally designed it, but redesign the icon. One criteria we have is that the icon be strong, unique and able to stand on it's own. This design lends itself to work with and without the oval. The oval gives it kind of a "thumb print" concept to communicate just how unique every client is to them and the "HQ" letters reveal their signature on their work.

​Peacocks are beautiful and unique. We wanted to give her a design element as a secondary concept. This design lends itself to use as a background element and creates a nice texture for their marketing pieces.

​This new design incorporates the peacock design. With professional photography, the new brochure has beautiful interior photos of the salon. We made the size bigger to show off the new photos. Each person who comes in requesting a list of services receives this large showpiece of services that makes a nice impression.

​We wanted to keep this design simple and modern. The overlapping circles show an integration of all of their services. These colors can be changed in the future to meet the colors of the day. The lower case "e" is symbolic of the European styles incorporated into their designs.

​This 4 panel brochure reveals the meaning of the acronym "mode". We described each service in detail and listed examples so potential customers could understand just how it applies to them. Our tagline, "a simpler way to get things done" had a payoff on the inside fold that says, "so easy. so beautiful. so affordable." so customers can see that it's affordable.

​The Hartness organization donated an organ to Furman University and they needed a brochure showcasing the organ and the events of celebration taking place over the months after installation. Concerts and interesting facts about the organ fill this very tall, skinny brochure. We chose this size to emphasize the beautiful pipes on this huge organ.

​This brochure was designed to help new students learn how to integrate themselves into the school and what opportunities they should be looking for each year. It shows them how to set goals and what expectations they should have during their years there.
