Ashland Gallery Map

This week we’re finishing up the redesign of the Ashland Gallery Association monthly map. In the past, a black and white version of the gallery map was distributed monthly. We came up with a strategy to run it in full-color and distribute it only bi-annually. The monthly gallery highlights included in the old version, will be done as a small, separate insert.

The new map was redesigned as a companion piece to the annual 64-page Ashland Gallery Guide (below), which we have designed and produced the past four years.

GNC Identity Project

We generally give our clients multiple designs to choose from in the initial phase of an identity project. We may refine one or two directions for a second presentation. Occasionally, a design version that is not ultimately selected by a client is of equal quality to the final (sometimes it’s even better!).

Here is a situation where the client, Great Northern Corporation (GNC), had a difficult time making the final selection between these two logo designs.

GNC is an awesome group of people working to help improve the lives and create economic development throughout Siskiyou County – a beautiful and sparsely populated mountainous area of Northern California. The non-profit group offers housing rehabilitation, rental assistance, energy assistance, AIDS assistance, food commodities, etc.

 The “lights on” in the house conceptually sold the deal for the final selected identity.

Novum Article

In January 2011, Novum, The World of Graphic Design magazine, published a 4-page feature article on our work. Novum is a seventy-five year old, well respected graphic design publication located in Munich, Germany.

The editor, who must have recently seen our work in Communication Arts or the Polish publication 2+3D, went through our website and selected the pieces she wanted to run.
