Aether’s Edge: Identity
For the second edition of her wonderful YA steampunk book “Ivey and the Airship” — part of the Aether’s Edge series — Author Cheryl Ammeter engaged us to serve as art director, designer and writing consultant. This is the series logo, used in the designs for the book cover, website, and collateral.
Aether’s Edge: Map of Aether
For the second edition of her wonderful YA steampunk book “Ivey and the Airship” — part of the Aether’s Edge series — Author Cheryl Ammeter engaged us to serve as art director, designer and writing consultant. Given the place names and a rough sketch of this world, we created this detailed map as one of the illustrations for the book’s interior, and it’s one of our favorite projects. Maps can take a lot of time to execute, but are often some of the most rewarding work we do.
Brothers & Sisters: McCallister Political Identity
In the drama series, Rob Lowe’s character runs for president. Here are two examples of the identity system we created for that campaign. Since some of the many placards and other applications couldn’t be wide horizontals to accommodate the long name, I abbreviated it — and it caught on. The writers started having characters refer to him as “McC” in dialog. We love it when that happens.
Campbell Agency: Identity
Some of our dearest friends and longtime clients, Nancy Campbell and the Campbell Agency are model and talent agents. Over the years, we updated the agency’s logo and collateral three times, maintaining brand equity but refreshing to keep up with the times. This version of the logo has been in use since 2009, with just one color tweak since.
