It's been a little while since we've spotlighted our work on the blog -- which makes it the perfect time to tell you a little about Motown Memories, a fundraising event to benefit Rise & Shine (if you haven't heard of Rise & Shine, check out this post). 

We've done a number of projects for them in the past -- including a colorful anniversary campaign -- but our latest project has a whole different feel. Rise & Shine was looking for an upbeat design that would fit in with the colors and style of the Motown era. 

We started by putting together a moodboard to make sure we were evoking the right feel.

After the Rise & Shine team signed off on the moodboard, we dove right in and designed a coordinating poster and e-vite. Take a peak at our work below, or give them a call at 828-883-2295, ext. 15 to purchase tickets to the event.

Hue & Tone Creative: Non-profit Graphic Design

Is your non-profit looking to build a relationship with a marketing firm? We'll be more than your marketing team -- we'll be your community partner. Working together, we can create the social content, graphic design, and marketing plan to help you increase your local reach.

We know, we know -- we’ve highlighted Rise & Shine before… but when your clients just keep doing great work, it never gets old showing it off.

Throughout 2016, Rise & Shine has been hosting a series of events to celebrate and raise awareness for their organization. An afterschool program with a mission of promoting racial justice and equality, we loved being able to collaborate on collateral that's helping drive their mission forward.

All of our work for Rise & Shine features bright colors, eye-catching layouts, and vibrant photography of the program participants. We work to keep the focus on the facts and figures that demonstrate the program's efficacy, as well as highlight the organization's values. 

Take a look at the colorful collateral below!

When a great organization does great things, there's nothing better than being a part of it. Our previous client, Rise & Shine, recently reached out as they prepared to celebrate their 20th Anniversary -- and we couldn't wait to be get involved.  

Rise & Shine, an afterschool program committed to promoting racial justice and equality, was looking for a fun and energetic logo to represent their 20 Years campaign. You may remember one of our previous projects for Rise & Shine -- a timeless print piece that would appeal to a wide variety of audiences. 

We're still in the middle of this project, but the 20-anniversary logo is complete and we couldn't wait to share it! Check out the design here:

We'll be posting flyer designs + bookmarks + ads + more when the project is complete -- but for now keep an eye on Rise & Shine's Facebook page to stay in the loop on their 20-year anniversary celebration.

PROJECT I JUST WRAPPED UP

This UU Chapter was looking for something that would incorporate imagery from the national Unitarian Universalist Association (the flame) with imagery that would represent the local branch (mountains). Rich colors and varied typography enhance this new logo.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON NOW

A one-page handout for Rise & Shine, an afterschool program committed to promoting racial justice and equality. We’re in the planning stages of creating this evergreen piece that will be used to promote Rise & Shine to potential volunteers and participants. 

A new website for Los Angeles based actress Jenny Austin. We’ve worked with Jenny in the past to develop her personal branding and a new resume – now we’re excited to collaborate on a new personal site to show off her talent.
