Gala Invitation for The International House at University of California, Berkeley

For the annual gala at the I-House at UC Berkeley I suggested we create enticement with the invitation. Rather than the more commonly used folded card layout, I designed a poster that will be printed on a delicate but environmentally friendly newsprint. Each recipient will open a beautiful blue envelope to find the image of a starry sky peeping out at them. The unfolding of the poster to find the final invite on an 11 x 17 poster is all part of the experience of the piece. The design itself is inspired by an I-House logo that includes a globe and the organization's tenets: friendship, respect, understanding, tolerance, and peace.

Team Clem Emblem and T-Shirt

I have an amazing group of friends who have become part of our family. The Hawaiians have a perfect word for such a thing: 'ohana. One of our 'ohana is in battle and I wanted to create an emblem for all of us to wear our love and support. The hippo is Clem's favorite animal because it lives amongst many other animals peacefully. They will, however, be fierce when necessary, even known to take out alligators if need be. It is time to be fierce. 

Lucy Cuneo Photography Logo

I worked on a logo for photographer, Lucy Cuneo. She is one of the most lovely, gracious, perceptive people I have met. I wanted her logo to match both her style of photography and the grace and loveliness of the woman herself.

This is the first instance of trying my hand at calligraphy and both Lucy and I love the imperfection of the C. For the logo color, we decided to go with a family of colors. I imagined Lucy deciding what color she wanted to use, the same way she would decide what outfit she felt like wearing, it would all depend on her mood. Why limit yourself??

Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas Jellyfish to all!

To all the folks who celebrate,

Merry Christmas

Yummy Supper Logo Refresh

How lucky was I to work with one of the most talented photographers I know? Erin Scott of Yummy Supper asked me to refresh her logo. Sigh, she is the best. I can't wait for her book to be released!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I had to make adjustments to Isley's Working Man costume. Instead of a big logo screen-printed on a shirt, I have designed a sticker to go on the front of his hard hat. Color yet to be determined! I love them all but we'll see how they looked printed out and attached to his hat.
