New Work: Fairies and Elves
Last October, our baby Charlotte turned TWO! Despite the fact that I was 8 months pregnant (Farris was three weeks old at the party) somehow I went into party planning overdrive and did a full calligraphy/illustrated invitation. Don't let this make you feel bad about your own party planning, because I know I was neglecting to do things like take showers, put on clothes other than old Christmas pajamas and Luke's T-shirts, and eat anything except for frozen thin crust pizzas. All this while laying around with my body pillow.
But anyway, here's how the accordion-fold invitation came out!

We had a great time at her party!

Baby Fair is here!
Well it seems like these months are going by so quickly, and I know I haven't even announced baby Farris on this blog yet. She's here! Rosemary Farris Powell was born a week late on September 25, 2012 and she's absolutely the sweetest. She has such a tender nature, she gives away her smiles, and in general she seems very easy-going.
Oftentimes we call her Fair, and what other word comes to mind except for Fairy? So naturally fairies are her thing, and I use them on everything having to do with her.
For her birth announcement I did a logo with four hearts, one for each of us in our little family, put her photo in a circle with rosemary wrapped around, and used two fairy sisters as an envelope liner.

New Work: Veranda on Highland
It was such a privilege to get to redesign the logo for one of Birmingham's best and most popular restaurants, Veranda on Highland. Veranda welcomed Chef Jeffrey Hansell in the spring and has been focusing on what it does best--"southern + seasonal" cuisine--while its image and interior have been updated to be fresher and less formal. The intent for the logo was to represent these changes, creating a fresher impression while maintaining a strong sense of history, elegance, and southern culture.
It was important to the client to include an image of the building because of the history that it has. So we decided on a pared-down drawing of the restaurant within a hand-drawn circle that referenced the shape of a plate or platter. I chose the "Veranda" typeface because of its elegance and organic quality--love those swashes on the "V" and "A"--and because it's not as stoic as other didot typefaces. We looked at several colors for the logo, including a yellow-gold and a darker slate blue, but in the end the client chose this grey because of its warmth and vintage sensibility.
Now all I have to do is make a reservation at the restaurant!
