Which logo would you pick? Last image is the winner—the one the client chose.

Insider Enterprise is an online business publication. They came to Pump Creative looking for a minimal logo and tagline. I suggested they consider a word mark with an artistic element. After an insightful conversation with the owner, I was able to narrow down some tagline options which gave way to the artwork element as well.

RAIN DATE PERFECTION! I'm so glad the high school students enrolled in the PSD Futures Lab program put a rain date on their Futures Market event which is going on TODAY—May 13th (4:30 - 6PM). It's GORGEOUS out!
These business and career oriented high school students are showcasing pop-up booths that will feature products, services and experiences propelled by their ingenuity. If you are in the northern Fort Collins area later this afternoon, come check out what these young minds have created!
I will be teaching the Multimedia Graphic Design Career Pathway (new) next fall semester, and it was with great pleasure I worked with Kim, one of the business students to help design the flyer for this year's Futures Market!

Anyone looking for help with a kitchen, bathroom, office or mudroom remodel? If so, I have a great connection for you! I had the honor of re-branding Amanda Bus's company, Profound Interior Design to Profound Kitchen and Cabinet Design. She offers a truly unique and beneficial cabinetry design service.

It was a blast designing her logo and writing her brand story, but most of all it was a pleasure getting to know her niche service and understanding her true passion to bring you the best re-model and storage solutions. If you're in the market, check out her services: https://www.profoundcabinetdesign.com/

I found a deep Rubix Cube type satisfaction finding the CMYK recipe for a client's spot color. Yesterday was my first day in the Color Test Kitchen (as I like to call it) and numerous color swatches later, I think we nailed it.

This was one of the last projects we completed in my Design & Concepts class. It was a signage request by the Academic Learning Services department at FRCC.

In the initial meeting I suggested that some of the signs could be vinyl window treatments and much of it could be completed in house by us, the students. It was great to have a real-world experience, leave a professional looking product and save the school money!

The design and concept class taught by Maggie Adams was amazing. The whole class produced the designs and Tyler Kimsey's large die cutter and installation process were on point!
