the rebels new wardrobe… French born haute couture fashion designer, Jean Paul Gaultier, has always been a rebellious voice in fashion — not shy to explore any and all taboos. He creates thematic juxtaposition with both grace and brashness. For the inaugural American stop on the international tour, we were asked by the DMA to create the exhibition graphics. What a visually creative treat to be able to pull from such a conceptually rich artist — Jean Paul Gaultier. Each room within the exhibit is a themed collection from his retrospective. We will take you through the signage we designed for each room below. Also, If you haven’t seen this visually arresting and inspiring show yet (tisk, tisk) it is running through February 12. Get to it!

on your mark… What better way to invite people to a book launch, but with a bookmark invitation?! (hint: there is no better way). That is just what we created for the launch of the SMU Centennial Book at the downtown Dallas Neiman Marcus. These books are loaded with an incredible archive of photographs of the SMU campus and life. Each invitation is foil stamped in a bright silver and comes with an attached tassel.

for me? You definitely should have. Public relations firm, Skirt PR, asked us to design an invitation for a select few to discover a new subscription flower delivery service, h.bloom. The gift of flowers is about the surprise and beauty. To play with these elements we keep everything dark, mysterious, and romantic. The invite uses a translucent vellum showing a close cropped bouquet — in an almost Belgium-lace-like abstraction, allowing the card underneath to just peek through slightly. Who wouldn’t love to have freshly delivered flowers every week? Such a delicious treat. See below for a few additional photos…

we love luke’s! We were tasked with coming up with a unique way to thank the long time friends and patrons of the Texas-wide running and fitness company, Luke’s Locker. For those of you who know Luke’s Locker – we don’t have to explain why you wouldn’t go anywhere else. For those who haven’t – it’s like the biggest most inclusive family of runners. The concept that we came up with was to “recycle the love.” Each person was mailed a square of running floor that was manufactured from recycled running shoes that they can bring in for a gift card.

it’s good! We were asked by the innovative and leading sports franchise hospitality management company, Legends, to craft a presentation that would reflect the attention to detail that they would bring to the new San Francisco 49ers stadium and their entire franchise. Legends currently manages all areas of stadium hospitality for the New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. The future plein air stadium is a leader in energy and environmental design while still boasting an engaging experience of luxury.
Take a look at a few of the details below…

don’t sit down… Or please do rather! We were asked to be a guest designer for Center for Creative Connections (C3) at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA). C3 is an innovative learning gallery designed to encourage visitors of all ages to have creative, educational experiences with works of art from the Museum’s collections. Encountering Space, the current exhibition, explores how artists shape and define space in their work. Our task was engaging viewers to study the chairs from the DMA collection and to analyze their interaction and impact within a given space. Our solution was a fun interactive chair swatch wall where the chairs are presented as tops and bottoms on clear designer cards. This allows the viewer to analyze the components of the chairs, create their own designs, and then place those creations in one of the 6 given environments. Take a look at a few of the details below…
