Ruthie Lindsey Design Blog

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with the the incredibly talented Ruthie Lindsey on her design website and blog. She is an interior decorator and stylist who mixes treasured antiques and heirlooms with funky reclaimed pieces. You can also hire her to hunt for a special piece or visit her website weekly to see what treasure she has found and has for sale.

I loved working with Ruthie on her site because she wanted a clean layout and had such beautiful photos to work with. I’m a little biased, but I love the result!

Bongo Java Poster

This poster was created to draw the public to a discussion with Mayor Karl Dean of the book, Life of Pi. This event was also a celebration of Bongo Java’s 20th birthday. They celebrating their birthday with—the ever-so-appropriate dessert—pie. In creating this poster, I wanted to give the audience an immediate association to the book, Life of Pi, and one of its main characters—a tiger. I researched Life of Pi book covers and movie posters. I chose to reference the deluxe illustrated edition cover layouts (seen below) in my poster layout. I believe the first book cover layout was a preliminary layout, not seen by the public, which was replaced by the second layout (both below). I like how this event poster turned out.

The Musaic Foundation Logo

The objective for the logo for The Musaic Foundation was for it to represent what they do: Bring Music, Minds, and Medicine together to conduct research on how music affects human physiology and develop effective clinical treatments and programs. They suggest imagery of Music, Psychology, and Medicine.

Live on the Row Logo

 

I recently had the opportunity to work with Tom Lane on branding Belmont Church’s re-established music nights, called “Live on the Row” which take place in their historic Koinonia coffee shop. This was a quick job, but I think the result is simple and classic.

You can keep up-to-date with the event dates and artists playing “Live on the Row” on their Facebook page here.

A Mother’s Legacy Book Cover

I had the pleasure to work with Thomas Nelson on this specialty book, A Mother’s Legacy. This is a wiro case-bound book that is a fill-in-the-blank book for moms. Moms get to share their life story, recording special memories for their children to read.

At the bottom is a couple of the original comps. The working title at the time was, A Mother’s Story.
