Made-to-Measure

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.

We’ve just completed this logo for Winter Haven, a hotel in South Beach Miami. Designed by architect Albert Anis, the hotel is well known for its Art Deco styling and ocean view. The logo incorporates elements of the building’s aesthetic infused with the bright colors of South Beach. We actually designed two logo variations for Winter Haven, giving the client flexibility of use on everything from collateral material, signage, and in-room materials.

We just received an email this morning from the editor of How Magazine to let us know that the site we designed for our sister company, Sideshow Press, made their “Top 10 Sites for Designers” list. You can check out Sideshow’s mention, as well as the other 9, featured here. The top 10 list will be up on their site for the month of August. Thanks HOW! We are quite flattered to be included.

At long last, the Stitch Design Co. stationery package is complete. We designed this set to be simple and clean while incorporating type and imagery that give a nod to our name, Stitch. Our sister company Sideshow Press did the letterpress printing.

Thanks Erica Jackson for a great article in this weeks Charleston City Paper. Read the full article.

More Troubadour branding pieces just arrived in the Studio today. We love the contrast of black and white and enjoyed continuing to flush out her brand across these different pieces (hangers, note cards, press folders, garment bags). Curious soft touch black paper, shiny black foil and flocking not only make these pieces nice to look at but they feel so good!

Earlier this year, we worked with FIG Restaurant on a re-branding project. We designed new menus, business cards, stationery, drink stirrers, butter overlays and gift cards and more. The work was featured yesterday on Communication Arts website.
