We recently met up with Andrea from Tuff Betty Soaps to discuss a graphic design project and possibly a little more. She explained that her company (based here in Portland, Oregon), was interested in doing a website re-design. She continued to describe the theme of her branding - 1940s, women workers, vintage nostalgia. It was time to get down and dirty - pun intended.
Before we even touched our sketch books and Wacom tablets, we had to collect a few items from Andrea such as her company logo and other such collateral. We then scoured the net, browsed photo libraries and had a visit to Boarders (shhh - that’s an industry secret). We came up with a few inspired designs and with the help of Andrea, herself, we came up with something that looked similar to this:

In the next couple of weeks, we look forward to integrating this new design into the new Tuff Betty website.

The intention of this project is to share ideas, stories, events and guidance relating to the Fine Art of Graphic Design and Web Development.

Enjoy your visit and come back often. We plan on updating this section regularly - you can also add our syndication to your own personal RSS Reader. - click the RSS link at the bottom of the page.
