Studio 404 at the Northrup King Building

I am absolutely thrilled to inform you that I now have a studio, located in the Northrup King Building in NE Minneapolis. I am still creating my space, as you can see I am brightening up the walls! I hope to be fully moved in next week and invite everyone to visit my studio for the "First Thursday Event." "First Thursdays" (the first Thursday every month from 5-9pm) are incredible, because you actually get to tour art studios and meet the artists. There are over 160 artists located in the Northrup King Building, so it is the perfect place get inspired! You can find me in studio 404!

Parc Boutique Business Identity

One of the most recent projects that I have had the pleasure to create is the business identity system including logo, color pallet and business card, for the Parc Boutique. The Parc Boutique will be opening in the Twin Cities soon, and I cannot wait to purchase clothes there! I love shopping clothing boutiques, so I was honored and excited when Thao Bui, one of the owners of the Parc Boutique approached me to design her business identity. Thao and I worked closely together to create the perfect look for her company. I gave her many options to choose from and she was quite pleased with the final product.

Here is what Thao had to say about my work. “Jessica was a pleasure to work with. I really liked that she gave me options to choose from during each phase of the project so we were always both on the same page. I am so glad I decided to work with her."

After Stacy, the owner of eProductions, chose a logo, I designed four color pallets that will vividly represent her company. I also designed vibrant business cards that are sure to appeal to the target market. Here are the preliminary designs. Stacy still has to choose a business card and a color pallet. Which card and color scheme do you like the best?

A business identity package typically includes the design of a logo, business card, letterhead and envelope. This is a project that I am currently working on for an event planning company, eProductions. Above is the initial round of logos that I designed for the company. It is best to see multiple ideas to get a really strong grasp on which logo best represents a company. Often, business owners do not know exactly what they want until they see it created by a professional graphic designer.

Making this gloomy day brighter!
