PANTONE WEDDING™ Chiplettes now available, Color Planner designed by Me

I am happy to announce that PANTONE® and the Dessy Group have just released their newly designed PANTONE WEDDING™ Chiplettes.  They came to me early this summer for some help with their existing color swatch business. After some brainstorming, we came up with the name "Chiplette" for the newly sized individual swatches and developed a Color Planner, free for brides who purchase 6+ chiplettes.  The Color Planner helps brides organize their big day and communicate color with all their vendors and bridesmaids accurately.

Each Color Planner contains 6 perforated Chiplette holders and a checklist. Brides tear off each Chiplette holder, insert their selected color chiplettes, fill out their personal information on the back and give them out to everyone helping them plan their special wedding day.

Here is the official press release from The Dessy Group.

The Color Planer is a great tool for Brides and I love the chiplettes. Each one is sized 4" x 1.75". Perfect for matching color on all the items in your wedding list. 

Seventeen Magazine's Behind-the-Scenes video for maurices

I worked on an Advertorial spread for maurices that will be featured in the February issue of Seventeen Magazine. Here is sneak peak of the final result.  We were lucky enough to have two of maurices Main Street Models, featured in the spread and Seventeen Magazine's very own Style Pro, Amy.  Our fabulous photographer, Hyuna Shin, shot the spread and Zak's team from The De Miche Group LLC did a great job shotting the behind-the-scenes video.  It was a successful day with some great shots. Plus, we finished ahead of schedule. Yay!

Here's a "family photo" of the team.  You can see that it takes a village to make a great shot.  Thanks Team! 

Adding a personal touch

I've recently discovered Pinterest and have to admit, I am in love. Not only with their site but with the work behind the new logo. They even posted the whole story on the Pinterest blog a few month ago. 

Designed by Michael Deal (http://www.mikemake.com) and Juan Carlos Pagan (http://jcpagan.com), the new Pinterest logo definitely carries the "feeling of nostalgia, without seeming retro." 

Just wanted to send a special thanks to Pinteret and the designers for sharing their sketches and story with us. If there is anything to be learned, it's that designers should feel free to experiment and get personal.  The logo is the first thing most people see and, like first impressions, it can leave a mark in our minds and in our hearts.

Monroe: OpenType, Fashionable and Versatile

This is a fun typeface with both light and bold options at a reasonable price. Sold at myfonts.com, the complete family, with the two faces, sells for $69. Brought to you by Sudtipos, a new Argentinian type foundry. I just love what myfonts.com says about them. "New blood, new attitude." And this Typeface definitely shows it. Sudtipos also has some of my other favorite typefaces, like Adios Script and brownstone, which have been featured on this site. Plus, as a New Yorker, how could you not buy this Typeface, with promotional art work that says "I love New York" and the Brooklyn Bridge. I mean, fuggedaboutit.
