Wondeful work, ALSO!

For last two years, Jessie Lynn Images has developed the annual Gala Invitation for Birthright International in Ranson, WV. Birthright is an international organization that provides caring, non-judgmental support to girls and women who are distressed by an unplanned pregnancy.

The 2010 Gala was a “Cotton Club” jazz club theme and this year is “BIG BAND”.  Images and font-choicest reflect classy antiquity.  The events are held at the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. 

Events & Everday is a catering company in NYC focusing on fresh food for corporate events. They had an existing website that needed a new flash slide-show to replace their old piece.  New photography was chosen for the piece and put together for a new showcase.

To get the attention of office managers and assistants in law firms, KRL wanted a large postcard mailer that was eye-catching and stood out from the rest.  KRL provides the important translation of medical cases’ complicated jargon into understandable language for the lawyers, etc.

We decided on the gavel and stethoscope image as a classic example of what KRL does; bridging these two worlds in translation, etc. The blue in the stethoscope contrasts well with KRL’s black-and-red logo. 

Running down the left-hand side of the 8.5×6″ postcard is text with highlighted words in red, indicating high-pressure words like: shortness of breath, misdiagnose, and arrhythmia to name a few.  The text is actually a write-up of warning signs for heart attacks, strokes, and preventative measures for these; but the highlighted words are to trigger some of the anxiety of not knowing what to do in the case of an emergency, or for some law-offices, what to do with medical information that might be foreign to them. 

The LaMontagne business card reminds me of  the classic black-&-white cookie, one side with white frosting and the other black.  Except, the LaMontagne business card splits itself between stunning-color bridal images taken on the property by photographer Vicki Grafton.

The owner liked simple but elegant when it came to the logo and insisted on this simple standard.  The simplicity in the logo showcases the many colors in the photos fantastically. 

LaMontagne at Bluemont is located in Bluemont, Virginia.  It is a rustic country setting, inviting, and a well-tailored venue for wedding events and intimate parties. 

The beginnings of a website was developed for LaMontagne, to serve as a simple landing page until further pictures of the property are taken and a more in-depth site can be built.

Her work is reminiscent of the old lettering that you would see in the early 1900′s…pieces of ephemera that conjure a romanticism all on its own: old advertising pieces, labels, circus posters…

I love to see the world of art and design cross each other and work hand-in-hand!

Prospect Hall, a private shooting club in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, recently had Jessie Lynn Images develop an 11×17″ poster to be professionally framed and taken to live auctions as a marketing piece for potential new members.

The colors in the new logo are very similar to the older version, with a little bit lighter purple paired with the fresh-sage green.  Owner, Morgan Walker, wanted to communicated the different ends of her business in the naming and design of the logo.  “Petals” (Font: Chopin Script) became the more feminine standing for the floral design end of the business, and ”Hedges” (Font: Trajan Pro) became the formal and graceful representation of her garden design, maintenance, and flourishing nursery in Paeonian Springs, Virginia. 

The WEBSITE was designed with whimsy, keeping a fresh-clean look without a lot of clutter.  Pictures hang from a string that looks like it is hung outside in the wind. Images change in web-galleries to get a more comprehensive look at Morgan’s design style for weddings and events. (Visit the website: www.PetalsandHedges.com)

Icons (see the website) were created to keep her visitors connected to her social networking hot-spots: Twitter, Facebook, Wedding Wire, and an e-newsletter sign-up form.

Print Project:  A simple flower-form, similar in shape to the petals seen in the logo, is used across all of the print materials: business cards, letterhead with envelopes, and floral cards with envelopes to slip into floral arrangements.

The logos were designed in harmony with one another; similar color palettes, same font-use, etc, so that the trails were visually linked to one another.  The Historic Theatre Trail uses the old fashioned marquee to gather together and centralize the text of the logo, giving off the historic flair of the trail’s sites.

The Historic New Deal/CCC logo was designed around the shield-shape found on the historic CCC patch.  Evergreens were used as a backdrop in this logo; extensive planting of trees was done by the CCC during the time period around the Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal projects and legislation.  The intertwining CCC lettering was kept atthe bottom of the logo, similarly foundon the historic patch.

Brochures were developed (rack-size) for both historic trails; 24-pages each, they describe the sites themselves with a map on the back of each brochure highlighting all of the sites for easy WV tourist travel and enjoyment.  Designing the brochure covers (shown left), we wanted to highlight as many of the sites as possible and went for a collage approach with both.  The cover was designed vertically, so it would be be easily viewed in a brochure case.  The internal workings were done on the horizontal, however, for easier viewing.  Our goal with layout was to show off the sites pictures as much as possible without losing essential “white-space” for easy reading when it came to the text.

(the final Custom Medical Kits logo)

Custom Medical Kits came to Jessie Lynn Images, requesting that we combine the 3 main medical symbols: the medical caduceus, the medical star, and the emergency cross in a simple and eye-catching way. They wanted to make it clear to the viewers of their logo, that they serve all sectors of the medical field.  They also wanted to use a navy-blue and red to go along with the medical field’s typical color palette.

Myriad Pro text was altered to become “customized” with cut tops of lower-case t’s and the mixture of lower and uppercase letters.  The caduceus symbol was used to gather together the split medical star and emergency cross symbols.  The split symbols act like the open and close effect of the kits themselves working on a hinge.
