A group project I created while in school won a 2010 Student Gold Addy! I am so stoked about this! I created the logo and collateral package for Upside & did the layout on the first spread of the brochure. All the winners were printed in today’s paper and I ran out and bought three because I was so excited. :]

Congratulations to everyone that won an award last night!

Thanks to Cordelia & Deigha for being awesome partners to work on this project with!

J*Davey – Slooow | I love this song!

I recently had the opportunity to create logo for Maria who owns DoggyDailys, a dog walking/pet sitting business in San Diego. She wanted a logo that was caring, trustworthy and dependable, but that would be unique and cheerful to anyone that saw it. I tried a couple of different concepts before sketching out this pup on my tablet and thinking he was cute and looked pretty caring :]

Check out my design process after the jump and let me know what you think!

I felt this was a perfect opportunity to use those super cute rounded fonts I had been downloading like crazy. I was really set on the rounded font and design, but I decided to try sketching a dog just to see how it looked. After a few different sketches, I really liked how this lil’ guy turned out so I threw him in the mix to see what the client would think.

She ended up really liking the sketch, but wanting some brighter colors and that’s how I got to the final logo at the top. I’m thrilled that Maria is loving her new logo and wish her all the best with her business!

I find this insanely inspirational for some reason. I get so wrapped up in this song (and the entire mixtape.. it’s pretty amazing) and really like his delivery of this line. It’s “Seat Down Low” from Da Drought 3 Mixtape:

There are quite a few large photos in here, so be prepared!

I don’t necessarily like this room, but I am in love with that couch!

Perfect lil’ cubby for storage. I really like having all my cute kitchen stuff out for everyone to see.

I love the bright candlesticks hanging out on that table.

And every photo in this Flickr set.

How great are these spreads by Elizaveta & Ekaterina Solomeina? The colors, layout & type are lookin’ sharp and make me want to read everything on the page. This is a perfect example of effective information design. Check out more photos of this project at http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Break-fast-news/276436.

· This glass heart vase is beautiful. I love the colors and shape. Too bad the small version costs $500.

· How amazing is this house?! About this crazy lil’ home:

This enchanting house is located on an island called Elliðaey near Vestmannaeyjar, a small archipelago off the south coast of Iceland. The house was given to singer, Bjork from her motherland as a “Thank You” for putting Iceland on the international map.
