Art in the form of words, story telling, blogging & writing …

Recently rediscovered that the ancient art of writing and speaking with it’s modern incarnations on the internet. Loving all the video blogs, podcasts and readings online. Visual stimulation is only as good as the stories behind them. Check out this list of truly talented and creative people who are so good in their “art of Words”. It really is a skill to be able to speak, articulate and write an idea that paints a picture that is as vivid as the real thing. That is one skill we would have to hone and harvest from within.

Scoutie Girl blog – with Editor, Tara Gentile, giving advice to a group of Etsy DIYers on her own philosophy of giving creative business a “kick start”. A great snippet to “refresh” that creative brain and reconnect those juices. Check out this inspiring video blog.

Crafty Pod is a podcast by Diane Gilleland interviewing and reviewing issues that crafters and artists care about

Firefly Creative Writing is a Toronto based workshop run by Chris Kay. I listened to her first Audio Workshop and was truly inspired. She also has some great links to other great writing / literary sites.

A continuation of our post about COLOURS … we think it sets the mood of any work.
refer to previous post “Red of Reds”

What do you think of when you picture a large room with a Black Chalk board and a teacher dressed in Mustard yellow bell-bottoms ? We think Vintage School Room … and that was the feeling that we wanted to evoke with Sheila C’s new Print material and business cards. She is a Complementary Medicine Professional, who works with her hands using therapies that are based on some very old principles. Her work brings about a much needed balance to our bodies which are constantly being subjected to the harsh physical and mental realities we live in today. A close-cropped, reversed image of the human spinal cord from an old medical journal gave an abstract feel to the piece.

So after creating their brand image, logo and packaging label, we also had the chance to try their Hearty Quinoa Blueberry Chocolate Chip bar & Prairie Oat Nature’s Fibre bar. And we wonder how something that is so good for you can also be so tasty ! Kudos to Phil for a job well done in product development. We bet many hours and sleepless night were spent in his test kitchen trying to get the recipe right. Check out their website (www.Emmaskitchen.com) for details on how to order these awesome custom-made bars.

Working with the colour palette of the waiting room chairs, existing wall colours, we picked a deep ocean turquoise colour for the base of the feature wall and designed letters of varying fonts to emphasis on the key words in the quote. By further playing with the thickness of the CNC-cut acrylic letters, and finishing in both matt white and brushed aluminium, the quote finally came to life. According to our client, people from other departments and hospitals have been visiting the facility just to see this wall …. we are very honoured.

Part of this project also involved colour consultation for the Doctors’ and Residents’ offices and also design of their logo wall in the waiting area.

Here are some branding and business card designs we did for some professionals in the Real Estate, Home-staging and Investment Real-estate companies. All of them reflecting the personality of the individual client while taking on a professional style for the brand identity.

Here is a belated New Year Greeting to all our friends and clients.
Yes, we have been so busy that this greeting didn’t make it to the blog until 13 days into the New Year. Work Hard & Enjoy 2011.
