HJJ is proud to have been a part of this awesome movement by the Ford Motor Company. Together with Blackdrop Studios and SEW Creative, we designed the 2011 TPF website, tracking the progress that these 4 non-profits are making in LA. Check out thepeoplesfleet.com to follow along, and if you’re a not for profit in LA, make sure you toss your name in the hat for TPF next year!

Some close friends are having a baby boy, and are naming him after the great CS Lewis… the author of the legendary, wait for it… Chronicles of Narnia. I was asked to create the invitation for an upcoming baby shower for the little tyke (or Jack, for CS fans). The design for this draws its inspiration from a beautiful design rendered by the incredible talented Ty Mattson from Mattson Creative. We re-created a few of his images, and redirected the piece to display a Narnia wonderland. The goal was to be simple, elegant, and fun as we celebrate the coming of the little guy.

Hey JoJo is happy to introduce you to Orton & Others. O&O is the brain child of Trevor Orton… an up and comer in the creative world, gracing us all with his sharp copy writing skills. We worked with Trevor to develop a classic brand for O&O, taking us all the way back to hand painted shop signs from 20′s England. Hope you enjoy it!

The letter pressed cards were hand printed by Julie of Studio Olivine. Her work speaks for itself.

Alaina’s 30th birthday presented a great opportunity to practice a style of poster design mastered by Ty Mattson and derived from Saul Bass. Last October, Ty Mattson of Mattson Creative posted these eye-catching works of beauty themed after each of the 5 seasons of Dexter (my favorite show). Extremely inspired by this work, I set out to create something similar for my sister-in-law’s 30th birthday, which is today! Each element carries symbolism from her life as a brilliant and hilarious actress from Chicago. Happy Birthday Alaina!

Stay tuned for some behind the scene shots of the printing process as lead by Justin Dickau of Fairweather Press.

The leadership team from the Wild Canyon Games teamed up with the Nike ID folks to create these custom shoes for the Condon/Wheeler Track team, coached by Jon and Melissa Bowerman. The Condon/Wheeler Knights will have two teams in the Wild Canyon Games this year, so we thought it would be neat to shoot these shoes in the Central Oregon terrain. Best of luck to the Knights track team this season!

Since we’ve been so focused on the Wild Canyon Games lately, we figured we could close up this week with some shots of the new NikeID Wild Canyon Games shoes for 2011. These shoes will be available June 4th during the games. In just a matter of weeks, however, they’ll be available for pre-order at wildcanyongames.org! The ID folks did such a great job on these… I can’t wait to order my pair! Enjoy the weekend all!

Hey JoJo Studios was approached to develop a new brand and web presence for Vicki Norris of Vicki Norris’ Restoring Order. We had a great time working with Vicki throughout multiple photo shoots, rounds of design and now moving into development with Threegate over in Idaho. The site should be launching in just a matter of weeks. In the meantime, check out the new VN brand and some of the logo options from early rounds. Cheers!
