Treking along

It was a privilege to work with Trek Global (formerly Adaxa USA) on their new website and corporate identity. This was a big project and a solid team effort all around. Our part included web design and layout, establishing fonts and colors and consulting on the logo design as well as corporate materials like business cards, banners and letterhead.

A baby shower, y’all

LLB Designs — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 22:20:53 +0000

This invite is a custom design for a Texas girl living in the midwest. A red, white and blue color palette printed on paper bag craft paper gives it a youthful, western feel without getting cutesy. No word yet on if the little one will be a cowboy or a cowgirl, but we here at LLB Designs have our suspicions…

Pharmacy slide deck

This colorful PowerPoint presentation is a great example of how a clean, simple template can have a big impact. Because the slide deck was long and contained so much information it was important to keep the design flexible and easy to work with. Bold, relevant images and complementary colors add some visual pop, without overwhelming the content.

Gymboree party invitation

LLB Designs — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 16:18:35 +0000

This lucky little two-year old got to have a Gymboree birthday party, complete with cake, parachute time and bubbles. The invitations set the tone for the good times ahead with fun, girly colors, playful shapes and casual fonts. The overall effect is cute and age appropriate — with nary a princess or unicorn in sight. (Not that we don’t love a good princess now and then).

Defining PrinceCiples

LLB Designs — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 15:37:04 +0000

Last spring Ron Prince of PrinceCiples, Inc. asked LLB Designs for a logo update as well as help with some new business cards, letterhead and website design. The new branding materials are clean, sharp and attractive, with a bold blue and white color scheme and professional, classic fonts.

The new PrinceCiples website is a WordPress theme, edited to blend with the rest of the company’s branding and to fit their specific content needs. While a developer handled the more technical aspects of building the site, LLB Designs coordinated the images, colors, fonts and layout. WordPress websites are fairly simple to update, include built-in search engine customization, and are a relatively inexpensive way to get an impactful web presence up and running in a shorter amount of time. The PrinceCiples site includes dynamic rotating images on the home page, custom graphics and downloadable interactive PDF files.

Cardpool business cards

LLB Designs — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 20:18:53 +0000

Have you heard of Cardpool.com? It’s a cool website that lets you sell gift cards that you’re not likely to use and to buy others that you’ll definitely use — at a discount. So smart. When it came time to design the founder’s business cards, a gift card look was catchy and appropriate. The company logo is of course center stage on the front, and the back features the contact information arranged to resemble the back of a gift card. Rounded corners complete the effect and bar codes that actually work — the phone number comes up when scanned — add that little something extra.

Lingerie shower invitation

Ah, the lingerie shower. There is nothing like planning a party that has to somehow combine class and underwear to challenge even the most capable of hostesses. Fortunately it is possible and these little invitations are a great start. Combining black with shades of pink creates a look that is sophisticated but not too racy, while flirty typography and girly details such as polka dots and bows add a touch of whimsical fun.

Attainable Growth logos

LLB Designs — Tue, 17 May 2011 14:11:49 +0000

This local trainer in Austin, TX requested a logo and business cards for his at-home personal training company, Attainable Growth. The client envisioned silhouettes of both a man and a woman in a simple, eye-catching black and white color palette. Graphics for a business that focuses on body image is pretty tricky, and it is important that the silhouettes convey just the right blend of sexiness (but not too sexy!), confidence (but not cocky!) and fitness (but not overdeveloped!).

The result is this poised pair as well as a combination of serif and sans-serif fonts for a look that is both bold and approachable.
