Landscape Management GroupWebsite Design LMG

Landscape Management Group

LMG or Landscape Management Group is a professional landscape design and construction company.  It would have been expected to put lawn or trees in the background of this website, but we designed it with an edited sky scape to bring in the outdoors without being overt.  The sky scape image edit was a feel was used in the other design elements throughout the site.  They had a number of photos available so we edited them to highlight their quality work in design and construction.  We have displayed a 50/50 before and after – the left side is the edited version.

The Outsiders are an exterior siding company based in Canada.  They wanted us to develop some logo concepts.  Wanting to be somewhat literal, we used a siding concept to develop an identifier “O” as though the O had been painted in red on the siding.  These ultimately were only concepts as they used another final version, but we thought they were fun and wanted to display them.

The Wallet WandLogo & Branding wwport

The Wallet Wand

The Wallet Wand is a new consumer product that takes any regular wallet and transforms it into a shoulder purse.  When we got the product, it was called the Wallet Bar.  Functional but we wanted to add some “sizzle”.   It looked like a magic wand, so “The Wallet Wand” was born.  Using that concept of magical transformation we were inspired by period magic poster design and used that to develop the product packaging and overall brand design.
