Tell Me Who I Am

I am way behind on updating this blog due to being busy with work and my freelance projects. (Irony? Maybe.) I received in the mail the other day the book Tell Me Who I Am by DeNae Handy. (Click the link and check out the interior layout I designed). I was super excited to see a design project of mine finished and published. I have to say that this was a huge learning experience when it came to learning InDesign, working with clients, and staying up late to make deadlines. I recommend reading the book.

Here is the synopsis: It "is a collection of stories and essays depicting faith, struggles, and universal experiences of 16 LDS writers. Told with humor and sensitivity, theses tales offer a glimpse into a religious culture that is alternately criticized, admires, and misunderstood. Self-reflective in tone Tell Me Who I Am will inspire and delight readers with its heart-wrenching, head-nodding, and often flat-out funny narratives (I, myself have laughed out loud, causing other's curiosity to wonder what is so funny.) While dogma may define people, this groundbreaking anthology shows how our individual stories ultimately tell us who we are."

The Reed Center

I apologize for not posting anything for a long time. I have been busy with the 365 project as well as working on a logo. Today I am posting about the logo for The Reeds Center. There are 3 partners (psychologists) that created their own therapy company (center) in New York City. The concept behind the logo is that these 3 psychologists are coming together to help people grow.  The situation was that they already had a logo created on a "create a logo site," however they didn't like the type face nor the color of the logo. I had to retrace the logo, as well as fix color, typeface and placement. I am not yet finished with the project, but here is what they gave me and what I have given them up-to-this-date.
