Basekit Launches

A new service called Basekit launched recently.What Basekit does is to allow designers and other, design- and Photoshop-savvy individuals create web templates and layouts by importing a layered Photoshop file to the online service.



Basekit takes the properly-named layers of the Photoshop PSD and creates a template that can be further edited and exported to a web server. So far, my little online exploration, reveals that the service is very easy to use and pretty solid. The user can take advantage of CSS widgets and other goodies to make a robust, simple site.



I will be giving Basekit a little test-run in the next few weeks to gauge its simplicity and efficiency with creating simple sites.



Here is a little video the folks from Basekit sent me to introduce the service:

New Project - Michael Bondanza Bridal

Michael Bondanza is a jewelry designer who specializes in wedding rings.


The company decided it was time for a re-branding and I was hired to design the new brand identity and the new website.




Here's the old logo:













And here's the new logo, which utilizes a stylized "O" to highlight the association of the brand to the creation of bridal rings:














To distinguish the Bondanza Collection from its competition, a palette of pinks and purples was devised to maintain consistency between all the applications for the logo, primarily online and in packaging and print advertising.

André Kertész: The Polaroids

This book of Polaroids by Andre Kertesz will probably accompany on vacation this year. I'm obsessed by its simplicity, by the colors and by the modernism captured through these photos.

I have been researching the story behind these images and I was thrilled to discover that the master photographer was able to channel his grief over his wife's passing into this masterwork of photographic creativity.

 I wish I had seen the exhibit a couple of years ago but this book found me so I'm trying to do it justice.
