The Vision: A Visual Dialogue

When an institution has 50 years of history to showcase, the design needed to tell a story. Our creative direction for the anniversary logo, invitation, and program centered on a powerful visual juxtaposition: the then and the now.

To bring the 50-year legacy to life, we developed a layout strategy that paired history with modern progress:

• The Legacy (Left): On the left side of our spreads, we utilized archival, grayscale photography. these images served as a soulful nod to the Smithsonian’s beginnings and the foundational moments of the last five decades.

• The Future (Right): On the right, we paired those historical moments with vibrant, full-color imagery. These contemporary photos showcased the living, breathing impact of the Smithsonian today.

The Taggart Tinies is an homage to Edward Gorey’s Gashlycrumb Tinies about highlights from 2025.

At Studio Red Design, we believe in the tactile power of print—the gravity a piece of design holds when it can be touched, turned, and lived with. When it comes to honoring the legacies of our loved ones, the tangible is not just an aesthetic choice; it is a necessity for the heart. We have had the honor of creating soft-cover books to prayer cards, memorial programs and photo collages.

A trip to Spain! Taking the time to simply experience a different culture and a different pace of life was invaluable. It's amazing how much perspective you gain just by observing how others live, eat, and celebrate.

It’s an honor to work with the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) and help with the graphics surrounding His Holiness’s birthday. We began by grounding the concepts with classic creative techniques, sketching various layouts with pencil and refining initial concepts in InDesign. This deliberate, iterative approach ensured the final look was deeply considered and perfectly embodied the campaign's spirit of hope and resilience. Once the aesthetic was decided—one that was both visually arresting and universally accessible—the challenge shifted from creation to global distribution. By translating the finalized design assets from our professional software into a versatile, user-friendly platform like Canva, we achieved a crucial goal: client empowerment.

The Heights School shared their annual report, and it’s getting rave reviews! We worked closely with The Heights to translate their vision of creating a new structure for their report. They wanted to elevate the tone and impact of the report, highlighting special moments throughout the year with meaning short stories paired with gorgeous landscape images.

At Studio Red Design, we exist to help mission-driven organizations and institutions—especially those focused on sustainability and environmental care—make their vision a reality. We see our role with OLS as more than just graphic design; it’s about being their creative partner.

Our work is to ensure that OLS’s vital commitment to a circular economy and responsible resource management is communicated clearly, beautifully, and effectively. We have been helping with advertisements, t-shirt designs, sticker promotional materials, and more. We bring a conscientious eye and a creative heart to tell the powerful story of how OLS clients are decreasing both their corporate stress and their environmental footprint.

Forget a simple logo wrap. The OLS Go Green team went full-throttle on creative messaging, using hundreds of distinct, custom-designed stickers to completely transform the Buzz.

Crucially, there’s a wonderful hippie/flower power undertone to the entire design. This isn't just modern corporate green; it's a nod to the original environmental movement, blending '70s counter-culture aesthetics with 21st-century sustainability goals. You see it in the flowing shapes, the bright, optimistic color palettes, and the overall message of peace, love, and keeping Mother Earth clean. It’s groovy design for a crucial cause!

Picture this: the salty air of the Atlantic, the charming, cobbled streets of Portland, Maine, and an entire weekend dedicated to the dazzling, delightful world of beadwork. That’s exactly what a group of us lucky ladies got to experience on a recent mini-retreat at the incredible Museum of Beadwork.

In July 2011, a transcendent event unfolded in the heart of Washington, D.C.—the Kalachakra for World Peace, a gathering dedicated to fostering global unity and enlightenment. As designers entrusted with capturing the essence of this sacred occasion, we embarked on a journey to create an array of materials, including a distinctive logo, outdoor banners, internal signage, print ads, event postcards, and event programs. Our mission was clear: to infuse every design element with the spirit of peace, harmony, and spiritual awakening.

When people think of graphic design, they picture sleek interfaces, trendy typography, maybe a logo that pops. But for those of us in the trenches—designers who wrestle with the raw chaos of content—graphic design isn’t just about looking good. It’s about control. Movement. Struggle. Graphic design is wrestling. No, we’re not talking folding chairs and top ropes (though we’ve had our fair share of flying deadlines). We’re talking about the mental match of taking unruly, scattered information—text, images, color, hierarchy—and pinning it into a clear, consumable form.

We love brainstorming! We partnered with APTA to create a wealth of design ideas of possible looks for their 2025 conferences that are hosted around the country. We wanted it to be bright and engaging with the development of unique patterns and color palettes. We landed on a vibrant color palette with gradients that created movement to reflect the transportation association.

At Studio Red Design, we’re proud to collaborate with Stacy Swiderski Consulting. Stacy works with photographers on all aspects of their work and brand, from creative coaching and portfolio development to website and project edits, as well as providing personalized marketing support. Through our work together, we create custom print promotions that elevate the work of photographers like Scott Suchman, Rebecca Drobis, Lee Morton, Andrea Joseph, Andy Ryan, the Rathkopfs, and more. As Stacy says, “Brands are belief systems.” Through high-quality direct mail pieces—brochures, postcards, and booklets—we leverage the tactile power of print to leave a lasting impression that digital just can't match.

Welcome to the Studio Red Design blog, where creativity meets purpose! Today, we're diving into the vibrant world of infographics and why they're essential for captivating audiences in schools and non-profit organizations.

Capturing Moments, Inspiring Engagement: In today's digital age, where smartphones and tablets dominate our daily lives, there's something undeniably charming about the simplicity and practicality of a paper calendar.

Health Unscripted: a 24-page plus cover saddle stitch brochure mixes glama natural (a semi-transparent sheet that is reminiscent of skin) for bold text with a coated silk sheet for striking photographs. This piece engages the senses (especially those of touch and sight) and captivates the viewer as the glama partially reveals and conceals with moving captions and lyrical text placement to activate the deeply poignant images by photographers as well as survivor and caregiver duo, Anna and Jordan Rathkopf.

At Studio Red Design, we believe that every line, every curve, and every color choice holds the power to tell a compelling story. And what better way to weave narratives than through the ingenious invention of timelines? Whether it's tracing the evolution of an idea, celebrating milestones, or charting the progress of a project, timelines are our trusty companions in the journey of visual storytelling.
