Over a year ago, Patrick Julius reached out to Studio Red Design with an amazing idea as a gift for his sons. His concept was a literal formula to build one’s legacy; which had been a seed in the back of his mind for years. Finally Patrick decided it was time to flesh out his ideas and grow them into a book. His formula for a meaningful legacy helps guides one towards a more meaningful daily life (a gift every parent wants for their child/ren). Rich and deep concepts are personalized throughout the book with amazing stories and insights.

We recently had the pleasure of working with the International Campaign for Tibet on their 2021 archive. It contains numerous stories and articles about the living conditions in Tibet. Not only that, but one of the publications made it to His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

We had the honor of partnering with Rebecca Drobis to give form to her photo essay of farmers and conservation in the Genesee Valley. We were engaged by Rebecca and her team to serve as designers and art directors for this installation as well as to create all promotional and collateral materials. Working his her team, we culled through thousands of photos to pull out the iconic moments that tell this important and necessary story. With the help of a local printer, we are creating eight foot, life-sized banners for Rebecca’s travelling photo exhibition.

We love the challenge of creating a logo. It's a special opportunity to dream of possibilities, to excavate random thoughts and connections, to connect letterforms and ideas to create something authentic and unique. A logo is about distilling the essence; telling your story so that it is understood and remembered. A logo is the mark used to lead your business identity, establish your symbol of credibility, and serve as your iconic face to the world.

Ideas We Love: Join us to learn about the importance of designing for purpose, with Kevin Sample.

“Look at the tree, recognize its inherent structure, and envision its growth potential." Apple tree care reminded me of design. Understand the existing framework. Identify the end goal. Work within given limitations to push creative possibilities. Everything branches from there.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and I think few pictures have more words than the art of William Hogarth. Hogarth was an 18th century, English artist most famous for prints made from his paintings - prints essentially were the first form of social media... It is clear that the pictures are powerful and that they highlight how much effective imagery matters.

Most books are absolutely judged by their covers. It is important to create inviting and welcoming visual introductions so that the target audience actually reads the material. After some thought, we decided to share covers of some of the favorite books we have had the opportunity to develop for our clients. We encourage you to take a look—hopefully you find something that grabs your attention!

This educational self-mailer has been an exciting kick-off piece to our studio’s new branding and the strategy angle that our new CFO is bringing in 2021. But more than anything this project has shown me the opportunity partnership can create, and how important it is — especially during this period of isolation — to stay connected and cultivate the synergy of supportive relationships.

The ghastly events that took place in our Capitol a few weeks ago struck me as a real-life horror movie. A good comparison would be The Purge, a movie in which all crime is legal for one day of the year. It shows an interesting take on how quickly society breaks down when all rules and consequences are taken away. Perhaps we caught a glimpse of that on January 6.

So, you cut down a ten-foot spruce. And now you fret too much about your Christmas tree (they are almost always farmed sustainably). It’s increasing important to recognize that trees really matter. Turn your focus to unsustainable forestry practices around the world like one of our favorite clients, Forest Trends.

So, we’ve all heard “you can’t judge a book by the cover” as an admonition when we might be rushing to judgement. This aphorism is certainly emotionally compelling but doesn’t really ring true does it?

October is known in the artist community as Inktober. It's a month in which artists are given a series of prompts, one for each day of the month, and then come up with a simple drawing to illustrate each word.

So, we adore the Farmer to Farmer (F2F) organization! This program helps individuals and their communities – working at the ground level to sustainably improve livelihoods. Thrilled to donate our time to create a logo for an Ecuadorian Jewlery coop.

I wanted to share with you my current passion project, an infographic shedding light on our beloved D.C.

Working with the Women, Arts and Social Change team at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, we had the opportunity to create logo designs for Create Art for Earth.

We are in awe of the honest truth that Greta Thunberg shares with the world, through her words and actions. She speaks from her heart, and her words strike the core.
