IGNITE Logo & Web Design

brand identity / logo design / web design

I’m so excited to be able to share some of the design work I did recently for Connie at Dirty Footprints Studio. Connie is an artist/teacher/entrepreneuer who continues to inspire me with her business, passionate online art programs, and overall entrepreunerial spirit. Today, Connie launched her new program called IGNITE, a ten-month teacher training program for artists.

Here’s a little snippet from Connie’s IGNITE page about the program:

“IGNITE is a ten month, highly intensive FEARLESS® Painting Teacher Training program designed to empower, transform, and IGNITE YOUR creative spirit, YOUR Artistic voice, and YOUR innate qualities and strengths as a teacher…

 

IGNITE will prepare you for all aspects of powerful teaching–from the mechanics of creating a successful lesson/workshop/retreat, to effective methods of teaching both in person and online, to building strong professional relationships and community, to learning the necessary essentials of making creative teaching your business.”

Connie and I recently took a year-long yoga teacher training program together at Yoga Pura,  so in addition to being my freelance graphic design client, she is a classmate that traversed the (rocky-yet ultimately fulfulling) road with me to become a certified yoga teacher.  I am in awe of her being able to put together her very own complex, rich, and totally inspiring program of her own!  I think we both know how transformative these types of programs can be when fueled by strong intentions of service.

To add to this, I was able to be a part of creating the brand identity for IGNITE, including a logo mark & web banner.  Connie gave me a few keywords that she felt would best portray the intention of her program :  authentic, remarkable, leadership, creativity.  I was able to take that as my starting point and start the creative process of capturing the visual essence of an exciting program that will spark people’s authentic leadership!

Here is the end result of the logo, with my custom concept of an illustrated flame/spark that feels as if it could IGNITE someone’s creativity!  I also designed a web banner to be placed on the main IGNITE page that will illustrate the program’s qualities for prospective students.

 This is  the type of project that really floats my boat.  To help a creative, passionate entrepreuner bring her vision to life (and what a powerful one Connie has) is an absolute dream.

Designing the Presidential Campaign

brand identity / logo design

Not only do companies have brands, but presidential candidates now–more than ever–must create a memorable “brand identity” for their race to the White House and beyond. A new book, Designing Obama, walks readers through the creation of the Obama brand – logo, social media, marketing, and all. The Obama “O” is surely one of the most recognizable brand images of the past few years, with even Pepsi piggybacking on the design when they rebranded. This book sounds really interesting for any design or brand identity afficionados.

“The Obama presidential campaign was an innovation in American politics and American design. For the first time, a candidate used art and design to bring together the American people—capturing their voices in a visual way. The Design Director of the Obama campaign, Scott Thomas, has collaborated with artists and designers to create Designing Obama, a chronicle of the art from the historic campaign.”

Here’s an interesting video of the Obama campaign lead designer talking about the creation of the campaign:
