To have and to hold, a blog that specializes in wedding-related design, has blogged about my recent new years postcards. Click the image above to view the post, and be sure to check out the rest of the blog!
Another use of this photo, this time on new years postcards I’m sending to a few people. This piece and the last I posted definitely share similar characteristics, even the treatment for “2010,” though this drawn type is based on ITC Century Ultrabold Italic. It’s interesting to think that a photo I took on my cellphone Monday morning is now used in two very separate pieces. Sometimes that’s just how my brain works, I guess. Everything flows.
UMBC Commons Service Hours - Winter 2010
I used Elephant Italic, along with some condensed Futura, for a bit of a classier feel than previous service hours signs. The background image is a photo I took yesterday morning of rumpled bedsheets, meant to symbolize warm beds in winter, and snow itself. I’ve been doing the service hours signs since Fall Semester 2008, and it’s fun to come up with a new style every time. This is my tenth.
The first phase of Project Black and Gold ended this week, and the final slogans go on to a student vote via the myUMBC portal website starting Monday, so I’ve been looking at the early files again as I prepare for the next marketing pieces. I don’t usually post as much “process work” as I should, so here are some of the logotype variations that didn’t make it.
I like them, but I’m glad we went with our final logo, because it made the print pieces so much fun to work with.

Created with hand-drawn slogan submissions by students from a booth we organized to promote the launch of the project.
Project Black and Gold Flyers and Handbills
Hand-cut to resemble the rectangular speechbubble of the logo treatment.
