Maravilla Gardens Logo and Website

SharpSeven Design — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:09:53 +0000

We wanted to help these good folks tell their story…of their family, their beautiful property, their rich history on the California coast. We first helped them think through their brand, establish a solid logo and then flow that emotion into a functional and captivating website.

Orangefiist Logo and Website

SharpSeven Design — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:32:46 +0000

We worked with these guys a couple years back, setting them up with a killer logo that articulated their ethos.

For the launch of their new film, DROP, they wanted a site redesign, so we offered them this. Larger-than-life and ready to go.

180 Book Cover

These guys were great! We designed this to reflect the fluidity of cognitive and behavioral shifts. Clean, but urban.

Wilderness Way Logo

This small eclectic group of folks wanted something to articulate their values of simplicity, rootedness, sustainability, and rest. This is what we came up with.

Hope for Haiti T-Shirt

SharpSeven Design — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:00:52 +0000

Some friends are raising funds for the recent tragedy in Haiti. Go here to purchase a shirt. All work was pro-bono and 100% of proceeds to directly to orphanages in Haiti.

We cut a lino block of a heart and paired it with bold text. An attempt to remind. An attempt to make a statement.

CONSP!RE Magazine Issue 4

SharpSeven Design — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:02:11 +0000

This issue dealt with prayer, so we thought of calling on color to help us interpret this theme. We recalled the prayer flags we see throughout Portland and their vibrant color.

Instead of taking a hyper-textured approach (what we’ve done with a good deal of this magazine), we kept this issue clean, simply using smoke to illustrate prayers rising up.

Winnitok Tales Website

SharpSeven Design — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 22:53:00 +0000

A simple-to-use website with an interactive map. We tried to capture the fantasy-fiction elements of the book in our design.

St. Andrew’s Logo and Stationary

SharpSeven — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:48:44 +0000

We designed the whole package for these guys…talking through branding, designing a logo, building a website, and creating stationary. The logo represents the multi-faceted dimension of the relational community. And it offers some dynamics in that the logo color/tone will change each season to show that they are rooted in some rhythm larger than their own.

Ayuda Community Center Annual Report

SharpSeven Design — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:48:32 +0000

Ayuda hired us to assist them with their annual report for their donors. Being a non-profit organization in a low-income neighborhood, they really wanted to show their donors how important their support was. We helped them to tell this through strong images and minimal text. It was printed as an untreated 8.5×5.5 booklet.

CONSP!RE Magazine Issue 3

SharpSeven Design — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:23:39 +0000

Here’s an excerpt we wrote for the introduction…

Each time we put together an issue of CONSP!RE, we dream about how we can create a visual environment to best receive these gifts of words and image. For this issue, we connected concepts of community with trees and bacteria. The thought of trees being rooted in the wild, amidst other rooted ones, was inspiring. Life in community is simply their lot, a mode of survival. We also considered how bacteria live in colonies and flourish everywhere, good cells, bad cells. These are the things that sustain us.
