Happy Birthday to us! Today, July 21st marks one year since we opened Simply Print for business. We've been holding our breath for this day, and now we can finally celebrate! A lot has happened in this single year: grew our clientele base, extended our Etsy paper products line to Redbubble (and are surprisingly selling quite a bit in the UK), sadly said our good-byes to a founding member of the girl team and moved into our fancy workspace. Some more good news for you, we'll keep this celebration going all month long by having all orders 10% off! So scoot your butt on over to our Promotions page for more information.

I wanted to share the moodboard I created for Eloquent Woman, an online publication that is directed towards "the woman with style and grace, because beauty is more than skin deep." They contacted me to design the masthead for their magazine but it would also serve as a logo to have a cohesive online presence. Prior to my design, their website and previous issues had different looks. You can see the final logo below and utilized on their website. When discussing what they were looking for in their masthead, they came up with distinctive, elegant, bold and legible, and I think I was able to do just that.

We just completed production of Brianna Johnson's business cards, and she has her online portfolio up and running now, (which you can check out over at BriannaJohnsonCreative.com). Brianna liked the slimness of the cards' size; the standard business card size is 3.5"x2", while I made her cards 3.5"x1.75". Double-sided cards are always a requirement for me, because it reads cleaner and the design really shows through. If you want to know more about how I do my process, you may go back in time and view my moodboard for Brianna here and the logo development here. I hope these business cards aids in her expanding her clientele and/or impressing potential employers with the play on textures, pattern and pops of teal and pink.

A month into the new year, how is everyone liking 2016? Just a few weeks ago, Megan and I stumbled upon some office space in Pasadena and like sharks we jumped at it. We slowly have been putting our homey touches on it and we even plan on placing a huge decal of our logo on one wall. But we simply can't contain our excitement of showing you the space.
