Happy Holidays to all!! I just wanted to put up a quick blog giving recognition to my friend and colleague, Cristina Calvet-Harrold of CCH Marketing. We have been working together for a few years now on everything from full branding campaigns to brochures, pr events, etc. Currently she is trusting me to re-brand her company. And I just wanted to reveal the new logo! Website and more to come by first of the year!
As I mentioned in a previous blog. I am now a contributing Art Director to PLAYGROUND MAGAZINE!
This is super exciting for me, and I am having so much fun! Don't get me wrong, I love all of the business I do here at The 2u Collection.
But those of you who know me, know that I like to mix things up a bit as not to become creatively stale! And working with the ladies at PLAYGROUND MAGAZINE has not only been a blast, but collaberating with the ladies has really juiced me up creatively. I won't drone on, except to say..
CHECK OUT THE HOLIDAY ISSUE OF PLAYGROUND MAGAZINE ! This issue has a special holiday treat, Scratch and Sniff the Cover, it smells like Candy Canes.. FOR REAL! It was fun for all of us to try out this new innovative printing technique.
Below are a few of my favorite spreads from this issue I created! Enjoy, and be sure to subscribe for your quarterly copy. SUBSCRIBE HERE!
I have been waiting to blog this for so long. This project was really great for me, because it was not only for a special bride, but a fellow colleague. Jennifer Kurzig of Central Florida Bride Magazine. Her wedding was just this past weekend. The weather was beautiful, and since the festivites were outside I'm sure she is please with the outcome.Jennifer came to me in January, so excited about her wedding, and excited about working with me. I was equally excited, we had worked together off and on for different things for Central Florida Bride Magazine. I was eager to get going, since this would be a much more personal project for us both.
She envisioned Brown and Cranberry and wanted something that was Cowboy, Country Elegance. She wanted to add flair to a casual comfortable event. So this is what we did. We started with the invitation and then created, menus, thank yous, escort cards and table numbers. Using Espresso Brown Textured Paper, with ivory Classic Crest accents, we created some really amazing stuff. In addition, Wooden Numbers & Clothspins, Cranberry Raffia, and rooster accents the mood was set. And as you can see by the wonderful photography from Jeff Hawkins, I have not done the wedding justice with this blog. Look out to see it in more detail in a featured wedding in Central Florida Bride Magazine.(Studio Images photographed by Liga Photography)

I am so excited to announce that here at The 2u Collection we have become contributors to Playground Magazine. I have been working furiously with Heather Reneau and Chrissy Allen to get the Winter 09 issue out. Thank Goodness Apple invented Ichat. Heather and I have been Video chatting, audio chatting, text chatting and even sharing screens! It has been a whirl wind month! And we've had lots of fun. And let me tell you we've even seen each other looking scary before coffee and a toothbrush! As you can tell by the picture above.. The night before the magazine goes to print is really a push, and appearance has no priority!! :) And Heather wants to stab herself sometimes too!

And there are all kinds of amazing things happening to and in this issue. I'm not going to give anything away. You'll have to wait and see. Be sure to Pick it up and check it out!
