Made-to-Measure

Here’s another bold new graphic dog bed from Harry Barker. We carefully illustrated the wide range of dog breeds represented in this new pattern. It was not an easy pattern to master the repeat, but we were able to move the dogs around until the pattern fit perfectly. We made sure to include the Stitch dogs, Molly (German Shorthaired Pointer) and Bessie (Black Lab), in the final pattern.

Some of the best things in the world are made in the South. And the editors of Garden & Gun magazine want to know about more of them.

Last week, the magazine launched the first-ever Made in the South Awards, a celebration of Southern craftsmanship and ingenuity. Whether you’ve just rolled out a new packaged barbecue sauce or you’ve been making bamboo fly rods for years, this is the perfect opportunity to showcase your goods. Anyone whose product or small business is based in the South may enter one of the five categories: Food, Home, Style, Sporting, and Ect.

Five finalists will appear in the December/January issue and one lucky overall winner will travel to Charleston, South Carolina, to receive a free consultation from Stitch and Leapfrog Public Relations. We’re thrilled to be involved and to see the range of creativity and products that are sure to enter. We’re also looking forward to sitting down with the winner and consulting with them on their brand – one of our favorite things to do!

Each year, Trident United Way hosts a Women’s Leadership council luncheon. This year the keynote speaker was Connie Duckworth, CEO of Arzu Studio Hope. Arzu is an innovative model of social entrepreneurship that helps Afghan women weavers by sourcing and selling the rugs they weave. Arzu addresses three interdependent needs: consistent and improved employment, access to education, and access to basic healthcare. With such an inspiring company and product, the invitation came together organically. We used interlocking lines to evoke thread and rich color inspired by their beautiful woven rugs.

POUT, a boutique in Columbia’s premier shopping district that offers the latest in high‐end beauty products and an array of skin services and treatments, asked us to help create a wedding services brochure.

We played around with with eye shadow and mascara on paper to create the field of color on the cover.

Ventana Hotels & Resorts recently came to us with some great non-traditional marketing ideas. We enjoyed collaborating with their team on these two pieces for Element Hotel in Las Vegas. The key card and key card sleeve will be distributed to potential guests as an invitation for one night’s stay. The door hanger will be waiting for the guest in their car upon the completion of their stay, used as a valet tag. We love the simplicity in message and construction of each of these two pieces.
