We are still developing our portfolio for the new site design. In the interim, feel free to look at the old portfolio site, see some selected portfolios of ours on Behance, or contact us if you're looking for something specific.
One of our most interesting assignments: designing a belt buckle
This is a belt buckle we designed for a conference up in Steamboat Springs. It's part of a larger graphic design project that included conference programs, save the date postcards, and more. This was a giveaway. Anacortes Brassworkes in Washington cast bronze buckles, plus a select number of silver ones for honorees.
Typography is Poplar (around the top and bottom)and Rosewood, with Adobe Wood Type Ornaments around the perimiter.Perfect for a high-country, old-west event.
