As Is Book Cover

Beauty…real beauty…growing out of the humus of human existence. The clutter, the identity-shifting, the gnawing hope, the…normal. That’s what this book is about. Reclaiming the everyday as significant. Beauty growing from mundane.

This is the first offereing from Swerve Press, whose website we also built.

St. Andrew’s Logo and Website

This emerging faith community was trying to find a way to articulate that they’re a dynamic community, trying to move with the seasons (shown in the seasonally-shifting logo) and trying to be something more than just a place where people merely “talk about God”. They’re about action, life, and relationships. We built each page so that the user encounters the faces of St. Andrew’s. The site is run on WordPress, so they can manage the blog, podcast, news, and featured content by themselves. And this site re-skins itself each season.

…has been such a great summer. One of the many things we’ve been doing are these HOMESPUN CONCERTS. Wow, what a blast. We have one more left if you plan to be in Portland. Aug 8th!

This was a fun project for us. The act of promoting and deconstructing revolution in the same few pages.

56 pages of grit, blood, and reflection. This is the second issue we have designed and laid-out for this quarterly magazine.

This was a fun project to work on, dreaming up ways to connect food and earth. These good folks attempt to help people rethink their food–where it comes from, how it’s been cared for, and what that means to the greater world. So we tried our best to show dirt, plants, and table-ready food.

This organization is really just a network of people, so we tried to illustrate that as a circle or chain sort of icon. One letter flowing into the next.

Preaching Re-Imagined Book Cover

Concepting a photo shoot that could articulate the idea of this book was a fun challenge. The author wanted to clearly convey the idea that we must move beyond “speeching” at each other to a more conversational approach.

The Book of Uncommon Prayer 2 Book Design

Drawing from the ancient Book of Common Prayer, we harkened back to older times that still could mean something on our own postmodern era.

Ah, the akward years. Some of us never grow out of them, but all of us hope to. Nothing like old pictures/stories to drop you off you pedastal!

We designed this logo for this Santa Cruz-based photographer of children and family. They wanted something playful and memorable.
