Website design for Kala Gallery

Web­site design for Kala Gallery.

With the open­ing of their new loca­tion in down­town Mor­gan­ton, NC, Kala Gallery wanted to redesign their exist­ing web­site to improve how it serves their busi­ness. The new web­site would need a photo gallery fea­tur­ing descrip­tions and pho­tos to show­case works by the artists the gallery represents.

Own­ers Terry and Fran­sien also wanted com­plete con­trol over all con­tent on the site includ­ing the gallery sec­tion. So we imple­mented a cus­tomized theme under the Word­Press plat­form, allow­ing them to keep their site cur­rent through a secure admin­is­tra­tion section.

The new web­site was launched in early June, 2011 to meet an award appli­ca­tion dead­line, and Kala Gallery recently announced they have been named Best New Gallery by NICHE Magazine.

NICHE Mag­a­zine con­nects art gal­leries and craft retail­ers with the finest whole­sale crafts, hand­made gifts and dec­o­ra­tive art objects made in artist stu­dios through­out the United States and Canada.

Logo Design for Stomping Grounds

Logo Design for Stomping Grounds Coffee & Wine Bar

Logo and busi­ness card designed for Stomp­ing Grounds Cof­fee & Wine Bar

We recently “crossed the state line” with this logo designed for Stomp­ing Grounds Cof­fee & Wine Bar, a new busi­ness open­ing soon in Greer, South Carolina.

The goal was to design a logo that bal­ances the two seg­ments of the busi­ness while bring­ing in tac­tile ele­ments to reflect the atmos­phere of the estab­lish­ment. Care­ful selec­tion of col­ors, fonts, and font weights com­bined with the graphic “ring” ele­ments have cre­ated a clean, pro­fes­sional logo.

The busi­ness cards bring in a tex­tured paper back­ground ele­ment that rein­forces the tac­tile expe­ri­ence. The inclu­sion of a “Buy 10 bev­er­ages & get 1 free” fea­ture on the back of the busi­ness card allows it to serve an extra purpose.

Art in the Park Poster

Poster for Art in the Park, Morganton, NC

Poster for Art in the Park

You may have seen the poster pro­mot­ing the First Annual Art in the Park around Mor­gan­ton recently. Designed by MESH Design Group, the poster fea­tures a water­color paint­ing by Jan Alms.

We were excited when we first heard about the Art in the Park event being orga­nized by the Mor­gan­ton Parks and Recre­ation Depart­ment. When they asked if we would design a poster, we were more than happy to help out. It is always great to see a new art ori­ented event tak­ing shape in town!

Art in the Park will fea­ture fine art, sculp­tures, pot­tery, jew­elry, metal work, and live music — plus it’s FREE! Be sure to take part of your day on May 14th to visit Catawba Mead­ows Park and enjoy some art.
