I'm a bit nutty for coffee, Tylor is even more of a nut. We love good beans, and a good brew. The west coast coffee culture is amazing. One of the (many) reasons we love Vancouver. Today we visited a Forty Ninth Parallel cafe – the Main St. location, yes the one paired with Lucky's Donuts... It was so good. We got a double dose, and later had a cup at Revolver too. Always a win. Coffee is especially essential for the work day. My brain doesn't really start until I've had my morning coffee. How about you? What is your favourite brew method? Where are your favourite spots to sip? Download this perky desktop wallpaper for this week, by clicking here. Have a great weekend!

A huge welcome to Let Them Eat Cakes! A wonderful dessert stand rental service, specially suited for weddings and special events, serving the greater Vancouver area. I have loved working with Sarah and Annette – a mother, daughter duo, to help bring their new business to life. I guess you could say, its a pretty sweet idea. If you are planning a wedding, be sure to work with these ladies for an exquisite looking dessert table! The Logo With its hand-lettered charm, the Let Them Eat Cakes text stands tall, representing a three layer cake. The text rests on a cake stand much like you will find in the Let Them Eat Cakes collection. The Website (eatcakes.ca) Clean, simple and easy to navigate, the Let Them Eat Cakes website is full of everything you need to know about dessert stand rentals. Beautiful photographs by The Nickersons contrast the minimalist layout and bring the site to life. Be sure to read the Let Them Eat Cakes news by following their blog! Elements We created a custom illustrated pattern with all things "sweet" in mind. Perfect for use in print, and on the web, like their twitter page background.
Just a simple "hello" this Fancy Friday! Anybody have any fun trips planned? We're looking forward to a quiet long weekend in. You can download the "hello" wallpaper for your computer right here :) Have a great long weekend folks! It was so much fun to work with these love birds to create their save-the-dates! With a classic hockey card in mind, we produced these pocket-sized cards with their favourite team to send to their friends and family. Thanks to K&K Photography for the lovely engagement shots we were able to use! All the best with your planning Rachel & Jason! Its Friday! Today's Fancy Friday inspired by the lovely Hannah Ulrich (follow @hannah_may on instagram) who suggested a watermelon post. Watermelon is pure summer – I love it. Relish in these last few weeks of summer folks, and make sure you pick up another melon before the season is done! You can download this desktop background right here. Today's Fancy Friday inspired by the many airplanes that have been flying over our house due to the large Abbotsford Air Show, our general love of travel, and Tylor's passion for airplanes and aviation. Anybody else attending the Abbotsford Air Show this weekend? Maybe we'll see you there tomorrow. You can download this desktop background for yourself by clicking right here. Taking a little Fancy Friday break this week. Tylor turned 27 today! Happy Birthday to my best friend. I love you!
Friday. How sweet it is. Today's Fancy Friday is inspired by the launch of the new Tirz Bakeshop branding – and because staring at lovely photos of sweets all month have me craving a cupcake somethin' fierce. You can sweeten your day by downloading this wallpaper for your computer right here :) Tirzah (Tirz) Pfister is a really, really good baker. She lives for it, and you can taste it. She is bringing her passion to life by launching Tirz Bakeshop. Tirzah puts a special touch into every part of her baking – quality ingredients, melt-in-your-mouth taste and exquisite presentation. Tirzah lives in Zurich, Switzerland and we were so happy to be able to work with her while she was visiting Canada. Tirz has an eye for beautiful aesthetics – beyond her sweet creations – which makes her a delight to work with. We explored quite a few different avenues for the Tirz Bakeshop logo brand. It had to be timeless, legible and appeal to a wide range of age groups. Hand lettering was a must, and we decided on a custom hand lettered slab-serif – friendly and not too trendy. We look forward to seeing how her packaging turns out – gold foiling! Yes! From the sketch book... A secondary graphic was created to use as a sub-logo within the brand. We produced a rubber stamp for packaging to give that real made-from-scratch feel. Rubber stamps are... awesome. Keep up with Tirzah on instagram ( tirzahpfister) to drool over her baked goods!
I worked on a few updates for City Chapel today and thought I should share. I have been so fortunate to work with the lovely folks at City Chapel to develop branding and identity, website design and some other graphics for them. City Chapel is a small (but growing) church in the heart of downtown Red Deer. The are lead by a team of great people who desire to engage in their surrounding culture. The Logo The City Chapel logo is sleek modern and timeless. When beginning sketches, the goal was to involve meaning, without looking stuffy or typical. The mark displays a gathering, or community. It also represents the two C's from City Chapel. The rings of the C's also have twelve sections, representing the twelve disciples – discipleship being a core value of the church. A bold sans-serif typeface was selected for the text to appear strong and current. A bright palette was chosen to get noticed, and display the vibrancy of the church community. The Website The team at Redpoint Design helped bring this website to life – you can check it out at www.citychapel.ca We created big colourful slides for the website outlining the church's main convictions. As a family journeying in faith together, we agree and share that the focus of our ministry is to glorify God through the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) in the spirit of the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37–39) because of the Great Exchange (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is fulfilled as disciples of Jesus Christ are made. God is glorified as we manifest His presence in doing so (2 Timothy 2:2; 1 Corinthians 10:31). An image for The Gospel of John was created to highlight a series that was going to carry on for over a year.
