Scene Report: Art Basel Miami 2008

Linda Tischler — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:57:09 -0500

I guess it takes getting out of New York, and a reprieve from constantly watching CNBC to make you realize that not all the world is fixated on the Dow.

Miami, of course, is one of the centers of the subprime mayhem, but last night, at the opening of Design/Miami 2008, revelers were partying like it was 1929.

The Designer-Small Biz Connection

Rachel King — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 16:49:06 -0400

If you want your business to be noticed, design is everything. However, a lot of startups and small businesses often don’t have the budget for an in-house design department. In an effort to facilitate the connection between freelance designers and small businesses, there’s 99designs, an online crowdsourcing contest that creates a forum for designers to showcase their work and win new clients. The Melbourne, Australia-based operation just opened up their American headquarters in San Francisco.

Dorothy Lane Market Pastry Show 2008 Poster

Nicholas Nawroth — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:02:25 -0400

Project Notes: DLM hosts an annual Pastry Show featuring authentic French pastries developed in-store by their staff of pastry chefs. This year, I based the design on the theme of “French café”. I illustrated the icons and carried the design through all the various pieces used to promote the show: posters, tickets, banners, signage, and a book handed out to each attendee.

The Easy Way Out Website Redesign

Nicholas Nawroth — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:01:18 -0400

Project Notes: The owner of The Easy Way out personal chef services wanted to update her website. Her previous site was not getting updated and did not have the structure necessary to accommodate her new offerings such as the classes she teaches at Dorothy Lane Market’s School of Cooking. Since the chef’s specialty is Latin American cuisine, I kept the color palette warm and drew the pattern by hand in illustrator to give a more authentic Latin American feel to the site. I kept the design simple and clean to showcase large photos of the chef’s beautiful recipes.

Dorothy Lane Market Eat Local Logo

Nicholas Nawroth — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:59:26 -0400

Project Notes: Developed for DLM’s Eat Local campaign. “eat local” is set in lowercase Weisbang to convey a more relaxed and laid back feeling. The period at the end of “eat local” represents Dayton (home to Dorothy Lane Market), while the outer two green circles that encompass the text and frame the logo represent the origination point of local food defined in the mission statement: “Food locally grown or raised within a 250-mile radius of Dayton (Ohio)”. One month into the campaign it appears to be very successful and popular with customers.

Anticoli Brands, Inc. Logo

Nicholas Nawroth — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 23:57:48 -0400

Project Notes: The owners of the local Anticoli’s restaurants wanted to start developing a private label line. The logo is meant to embody the heritage of the Anticoli’s name while showing a sense of looking toward the future. The strong blue color, the arch shape (representing their restaurant experience), and the “A” set in a serif typeface represent the heritage and strength of their brand while the rays of light and name set in Futura represent the future/looking forward.

Redesigning a Brand

Rachel King — Fri, 02 May 2008 09:37:13 -0400

Redesigning a magazine's layout doesn’t just update it – it revolutionizes it. Luke Hayman, an art director with the design firm, Pentagram, spoke to an audience of about 50 students and professors at the final meeting of the Delacorte Lecture Series at Columbia Journalism School on April 24. Hayman explained that any redesign has to be a careful process, as a magazine represents a brand and a particular audience base.
