More On Clever Compass

Remember my recent work creating Clever Compass? Well, we weren't quite done.

Check out the Clever Compass logo:



And the Clever Compass business cards' front and back:





I am really pleased with the colour palette we settled on. It is both bold and bright, giving it a both playful and tailored feel.

Violence UnSilenced Gets A Business Card Update

I did a quick redesign of Violence UnSilenced's business cards to reflect their recent redesign and move to become a non-profit organization.

Brightly Coloured Quotation Cards for Brené Brown

I created a set of quotation cards for Brené Brown for a talk she gave to a mother-daughter service organization. She chose one quote for the front of the cards, which I created using the font from her weblog masthead and colours to reflect its palette:



I designed two variations of the backs of the cards, one in reds and one in blues, incorporating her weblog url into the image:





I wasn't familiar with this quote before, but I'm a fan of it now, because it's true. The world does need more people who have come alive.

Business Cards For Violence UnSilenced

When Maggie, founder of Violence UnSilenced, contacted me about designing business cards for the website for the upcoming BlogHer '11 conference in San Diego, and I knew that I had to say yes. Violence UnSilenced is a website devoted to "shedding light on the epidemic of domestic violence and sexual assault by giving its survivors a voice", and it is a powerful mechanism for helping both women and men come out about their experiences and find help within a community of people who understand what they've been through.

I must give a nod to Violence UnSilenced's website designer, Temptation Designs, as I reimagined the original site design for the business card format, and I found their clean, bold design a delight to reinterpret.

If you'd like to meet Maggie, talk about Violence UnSilenced, and see these cards in person, she'll have them handy at BlogHer '11. You can also connect with Violence UnSilenced on Twitter and Facebook.

Young Adult Smash And Vampire Unicorn

I helped to give The Well-Read Wife a new look by designing the new masthead for the site a while back, and since then, Mandy and I have continued to work together on the design of a second website geared toward young adult fiction called Young Adult Smash.

Vampire unicorn? Don't mind if we do!



I also created a 125x125 button



and a 2"x6" bookmark for Young Adult Smash,



as well as a 2"x6" bookmark for The Well-Read Wife



and a business card that incorporates both websites.



I've been sitting on all of this work for weeks, so it feels like a relief to be able to finally tell you all about Young Adult Smash and the VAMPIRE UNICORN. He's fangy and magical.

I love vampire unicorn, and I'm thrilled that he found a home with Mandy and Young Adult Smash.
