Thumbtack is a site that features local service professionals in a variety of fields, including graphic and web design. CurlyRed was chosen to be featured on the Baltimore Logo Design page after an interview where we explained how we work and why our customers continue to come back to us, time and time again. Here's […]

Ahh, Thanksgiving. There are so many reasons we adore this holiday. It goes without mentioning that the food is something we look forward to all year long. Then there's the time we get to spend with family, elaborate parades, lots of football, and a color palette that goes rather nicely with red hair. But above […]

Warschawski, a full service public relations, marketing, branding, advertising and interactive agency in Baltimore announced today the addition of CurlyRed's former web guru, Mark Ludwig, to the agency’s growing team. In his time with CurlyRed, Mark has helped design and develop some amazing web solutions for our clients, such as Ludwig Painting, IronDog K9 Solutions, […]

Juliette with her big sister Margot On August 15th, the CurlyRed family grew by one when Juliette Elsie was born! She's been such a blessing, and has already mastered the basics of Photoshop (gotta start them while they're young). And meanwhile, we are back in full swing here at CurlyRed and working on some really […]

We've been designing and building a LOT of websites recently at CurlyRed. And we wanted to share a few projects that have recently launched that we are rather excited about: 1.Calvary Chapel: a church in California looking for a textural, modern web presence. 2. IronDog K9 Solutions: a company in Virginia that specializes in public and private […]

At CurlyRed, we've never really created an infographic. But recently, we've been seeing them all over the place. And we just love how they present information, in such an interesting visual way (if done well). These inspire us! We hope they inspire you too. If CurlyRed was to make an infographic, what should it be […]

If you're local to Baltimore and do something creative for a living, you should join me for this seminar. Great speakers, great topic, and great company. Hope to see you there!

It's been pretty darn hot here in B'more this past week. And it's got us thinking about beaches, cold drinks, and all design that's summer-inspired. Here at CurlyRed we love summer: the colors, the patterns, the textures, and drawing inspiration from beautiful nature! We hope this board inspires you too. P.S.: Our website has recently […]

A year and a half ago, CurlyRed began working with a Baltimore-based company called Cambridge Iron & Metal. This company collects and processes ferrous and non ferrous metals to be recycled and has been around since 1909.  One of the first projects CurlyRed ever created for Cambridge was a fun t-shirt design that would spell out Cambridge in […]

The wall of family photos has been done a million times. But we really like this trend we've been seeing of incorporating some kind of tree imagery (either painted or decal) and using that as a backdrop for hanging family portraits. Using vintage and rounded frames for the photographs adds to the visual interest, and […]

We were browsing around the interwebs, and stumbled upon a very cool (and well-designed) resource: the Lost Type Co-Op. We found it while looking at some work by our friend Greg Eckler, who recently designed the amazing-looking Atreyu typeface for Lost Type. From the About page: "The Lost Type Co-Op is a Pay-What-You-Want Type foundry, […]

Things have been a little chaotic around here.  We are currently renovating our CurlyRed office space and while I have very little to do with the new construction, it has been given some time to dream up a perfect new office and what it would look like. Given the furniture we have now and our […]

We met Stacey of People's Community Health Centers at a networking event and we were inspired by the services they provide for our community. We reached out to our friend Larry Canner, who captured some amazing shots of their space and staff. From the imagery, we developed a really vibrant color palette that conveys the […]

We wish we found and appreciated Pinterest a long time ago. It's an amazing way for us to store online inspiration boards from imagery and resources all over the web. So we've decided that once a month, we will be posting our latest Pinterest board of what's inspiring us right now. When we saw the […]
