Made to Measure

At the end of this month Hampden Clothing will present Rag & Bone’s Spring collection. Inspired by Rag & Bone and their latest colorful collection, we designed a simple kraft tag and attached it to a vintage wooden arrow to serve as the invitation. We love the brightly worn colors of the arrows in contrast to the natural kraft paper.  (more…)

In the Summer of 2010, Hailey Wist invited four suburbanites to a ranch in rural Arkansas. They lived in a small cabin, grew a large garden, ate only from a 100-mile radius, sold at a local farmers market, and hosted a field feast. The Garden Summer project was a grassroots, community-based, social experiment. On February 9, 2012 the documentary they made of that summer premiered at The American Theater in Charleston. We designed these posters for the much anticipated event. The poster design and execution was a multi-step process. We cut fabric turnips that we then stitched to card stock and then letterpressed overtop of the fabric. It was a labor of love, but we’re so happy with the simplicity and dimension of the posters. And, we can’t forget to mention, the film was excellent! It will soon be traveling to a film festival near you and is a must see!

The Charleston Regional Development Alliance recently renovated their office space and came to us to design a graphic to fill a blank wall left at the end of the renovations. The wall directly behind the reception desk was in desperate need of some visual impact so we were excited to help. Our challenge was to design something that worked seamlessly with the interior architecture and that also served as a talking point and representation of the CRDA to visitors. (more…)

It was fun, as always, to work with Harper from Proud Mary on her new trade show signage. We used rough sawn natural wood and had it cut into the form of her logo. We love the simplicity of the natural wood in contrast to clean script of her logo. (more…)

Excited to see Rewined Candles on Communication Arts Exhibit last week and now FPO this week. Congrats Rewined!

Over the past several months we’ve been working closely with Jessica Burke to rebrand her photography business. We designed her logo and have been busy applying her new brand to a variety of applications. Her website is the first of those applications to be complete. Jessica is a talented young photographer from San Francisco with a youthful, modern and unobtrusive style. We designed her website to reflect those qualities and showcase her beautiful work and fun personality.

Jill Hooper  is a classically-trained, realist painter whose beautiful portraits have earned international recognition. Stitch recently had the chance to visit with Jill at her studio in preparation for the design of the Gibbes’ Signature Magazine (of which she was on the cover). Her historic downtown studio space is filled with natural light and inspiring objects of all shapes and sizes. It was truly a treat to be able to see her process, studio and objects of inspiration of which she surrounds her self with.  (more…)

is coming to Charleston. Our sister company, Sideshow Press invites you to join us in welcoming the type-truck to town. Come see a fully functional letterpress print shop built into the back of a converted 1982 Chevy Step van. Come and try your hand at letterpress by printing a collaborative print on the type-truck and on Sideshow’s presses. We hope to see you out at the studio on February 9th from 5 – 8pm. Learn more about Movable Type, Kyle and her type-truck here.

2012 is going to be another amazing festival year for Spoleto. The ticket brochure is full of performances we can’t wait to see. The Rebirth Brass Band, Alvin Ailey and Hay Fever by The Gate Theater are among the many. It was a pleasure to design the ticket brochure again this year. We used imagery from the preformances as well as the from the talented local photographer Doug Hickock. (more…)
