So some of you may be asking, "What's up with CurlyRed? I thought they were launching their website soon?", etc. And to answer: Yes, it is in the works. But, as it always seems to happen in the graphic design world, several large projects that we are very excited about have all hit at once. […]

Thanks to Emily at Moveable Feast for blogging about CurlyRed's happy hour! And please consider donating your time, money or food to this great organization.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, and we are always on the lookout for amazing work our fellow designers are creating. But when thinking about redesigning our website, we were particularly interested in finding other websites that have a similar aesthetic to ours. And here are some of our favorites: We love this site for the […]

So in the next few days, we will be sharing with you some websites we've found that we really love, but first... Our friends Lisa and Matthias got married a few weeks ago, and we were blown away by every personal touch and detail. From the hand crafted beer and beer labels, to the hundreds […]

Happy Monday everyone! Here at CurlyRed, we are working on a huge project: redesigning our website! It's no small feat, and something we've been wanting to do for, well, a really long time. But then came a baby, and she threw everything off-track (in the best way possible). But now that we are moving full […]

However, we doubt she would have stayed asleep through the mayhem. […]

(thanks once again to our intern Sarah, for putting together this blog post!) People all over the world are trying to make packages that are “cool” looking and functional beyond just holding said product. Now “cool” can be defined in a million different ways because well, it depends on the person talking about it. There […]

When our friend, Beth Fales, approached us about designing a website for the childcare facility she was starting, we were excited about the fun challenge of designing a daycare website. Inspired by the beautiful open areas of land near her home and a color palette with kids in mind, we couldn't be more happy with […]

(Handwritten type is not a new trend by any means, but recently we've been seeing it EVERYWHERE! So we asked our intern Sarah to dig a little deeper, and here's what she found.) You're just my type. It seems that more companies are looking to use fonts personal to the creators, and creating a revolution […]

You can't buy tickets at the door, so tomorrow is your last chance to get a spot at the first EVER design conference in Baltimore! It's seriously going to be an incredible event. The session topics, speakers, venue and special AIGA blend afterwards (at fab Red Maple) will make this event one you don't want […]

(thanks to our former intern Becky for sending this to us!) We are quick to say that our favorite typeface is Century Gothic...and it's pretty apparent if you take a look at our logo. It's clean, rounded, simple and elegant. But here's one more reason to love it: it uses less ink! From an article […]
