Made-to-Measure

Kathleen Rogers, the Weddings Coordinator for Seabrook Island came to us with a great idea to start a blog all about weddings on water. Working with brides every day at Seabrook gave Kathleen the idea to to highlight beautiful events held all across the country surrounded by water. We designed this custom blog template for her using vintage sea life illustrations, a simple cross hatched background and classification styled headers. We enjoyed working with Kathleen and now enjoy following her on Waterside.

We just finished up this invitation design for the second annual Field Feast, a dinner to benefit Lowcountry Local First. The invites were printed three color letterpress on reusable cloth produce bags. A mailing tag was sewn on to the bag and they mailed to doorsteps, as is. The event will be held at Rosebank Farms on John’s Island with food by Chef Mike Lata of FIG.

Fabien Barral of Graphic-Exchange, recently asked Stitch to do a real graphic exchange. Several weeks ago we packaged up some of our favorite samples and sent them to Euzet, France. We received our exchange last week, a package of beautiful work from Fabien. It’s always so exciting to get a package in the mail especially when it’s from a fellow talented designer. Thanks Fabien!

In addition to the brochure we just completed for Winter Haven Hotel, we were also asked to design a rack card for Blue Moon Hotel. Again, we saw this as an opportunity to do something a little bit more out of the ordinary. This small brochure fits into an A2 envelope for mailing. Our approach to the design, size and format reflects the quaint architecture of this storied Miami hotel.

Jason Rose from Ventana Hotels and Resorts came to us to design a rack card for the newly branded Winter Haven Hotel. We saw this as an opportunity to do something a little bit more unique than your standard hotel rack card. Our job was made that much easier with beautiful photography to work with including Holga shots of the property. The small brochure fits into a monarch envelope for easy mailing. The brochures will be distributed to travel agents and trip planners.

This simple treat tin is one of our favorite projects to date. Not just because it was a fun project to work on, but because it has a positive social impact. Harry Barker contributes a portion of their proceeds, from the sale of these tins, to the Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital. The proceeds support their therapy dog program and help to ensure that loving dogs continue to encourage children to get well.

We just completed these stationery and media kit pieces for Legends Magazine, an annual publication from Kiawah Island with nationwide distribution. For the past twenty years, Legends Magazine has combined substantive articles with exceptional photography, art and design. The team at Legends approached Stitch to help redesign the magazine and refine the details. We’ll be working with them on pieces like their stationery package and media kit all the way down to important details like margins and folios of the magazine itself. Our favorite kind a project, big picture with lots of details!

Pecha Kucha Charleston 7 was held last night in the historic Sottile Theater in downtown Charleston. Each presenter was incredibly inspiring and we left the event reminded of how lucky we are to live in a town with so many creative, talented people.

Parliament, the group who puts on Pecha Kucha, recently asked Stitch to design a campaign to showcase that very idea. We were asked to give a visual identity to the 27,000+ creatives that live and work in the Charleston area. We collaborated with the talented writer, Sandy Lang to come up with Working Class Creative, this family of logos/badges and membership card.

“Raise your hand, carry your card and affix that sicker. You’re one of the 27,000+ around Charleston who work in the creative industries.”

Create. Collaborate. Prosper.

As Summer is winding down for 2010, Marysia Swim and Stitch are getting ready for 2011. Her latest look book just arrived from the printer last week. A blind deboss cover, simple grey type and a soft feminine color pallet of seaweed greens, desert dusts and rosy clouds coupled with her original branding help show case her flawless 2011 collection.

On the heels of re-branding Winter Haven Hotel, we also just completed this new logo and graphic elements for Blue Moon, another iconic South Beach Miami Art Deco hotel. We created the logo to reflect this Mediterranean style boutique hotel, simple and charming.
