Made-to-Measure

The 16th annual AIGA South Carolina INSHOW was held this past Friday at the Columbia Botanical Gardens. It was great to see our statewide colleagues and all the great design work being done across the state of South Carolina. Stitch was excited to be recognized with 12 awards. Congratulations to our award winning clients: Harry Barker, Stitch Design Co., Pout Cosmetics, Winter Haven Hotel, Charleston Parliament, Tara Guerard Soiree, Marysia Swim, FIG, and The Cutey Booty.

The talented Lexington photographer Melanie Mauer recently contacted Stitch to help her brand Pearl, a collection of Lexington’s finest wedding professionals. Pearl is a resource for brides intended to inspire, enthuse and assist in crafting a beautifully executed wedding.

We worked with Melanie to design the Pearl logo as well as the Pearl blog site. We also worked on several promotional materials for the Pearl brides-to-be; screen printed Scout Books, pencils, note paper and more.

Today’s exhibit on Communication Arts. Congratulations Troubadour!

Quintessentials is a Raleigh, North Carolina shopping staple. The long established store is a common spot for wedding registry and everyday gift items. We recently updated their logo and are currently working on their new identity. Vintage china stamps and patterns were our inspiration behind this classic simple mark.

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.
