Ah, March!

Incredibly, but not unbelievably, we've fallen into yet another month of the year!

So, no more complaining about the madness that has controlled our lives over the first few crazy months of 2014 - let's embrace the fact that the year will carry on carrying on whether we're ready to follow or not!

If that's too difficult, embrace our new and improved calendar for March instead.

Tagline Grows!

Exciting news for Tagline! They have extended their reach by adding a website to their collateral.

Luckily enough for us, we have an amazingly talented web designer on our side. Bianca Geldenhuys, our trusty go-to, has earned her fair share of awards for her creations. One being a silver award from SA web awards for the website design she assisted with for Meloti Valley Private Game Destination, as well as a bronze award for the Contrast Studio website. Congratulations!

Have a look at the website she created for Tagline here, http://tagline.co.za, we believe that this design is nothing short of award winning too.

Have a great week everyone.

Wedding Bells

Hi All

Planning a wedding is an exciting time, but it can also take a lot of skill and effort. And marriage is just the same! So, who could say no to lending a helping hand in the union of two stunning people?

The images above showcase an event  Jen and I were only too happy to create the designs for. 
A beautiful day for two beautiful people.

You&Me 
Wish you a marriage filled with love and joy.

Consider Yourselves Lucky

So, Jen and I rarely ever share our special internet finds. Especially one as noteworthy as this!
An amazing website showcasing the most beautiful free fonts, that will definitely transform any design in to something visionary.

Download the fonts here, and make a donation if you feel it's all worth it. (Which it is.)

Don't forget to say Thank You.

Getting to Know You

Jen and I recently took a week off for a little breather and time to get to know ourselves again. As much as we are passionate about our work, sometimes five days off, out of three hundred and sixty five is a very good idea.

Jen went to Cape Town for Bastille day and a good party to get the blood pumping again, while I enjoyed being at home taking the time to sit for hours on end drawing. Something I can't seem to find much time for in those other three hundred and sixty five days of the year.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Don't forget to take a minute out of your day and - breathe.

Love
You&Me

A Difficult Month Should only End in Candy

Hi All


Wow, this month has been one for the books! Whether it be due to it being absolutely terrifying and difficult to keep up with or breathtakingly wonderful. 


This month has proven strenuous for You&Me both personally and in business. I like to think that there are always two ways of coming out of moments like these, with that said I'm pleased to say that I am proud of both Jen and myself for the way that we have dealt with everything. Now we can be glad that we can add a whole squad of qualifications to our CV - Mind reader, psychologist, miracle worker and even firefighter. (We'll leave it up to you to figure those out. Excuse the "hint" of sarcasm.)


So, now that you know part of the reason that we've neglected to keep everyone updated, here's a long awaited blogpost! 


These are a few Candy Card designs we did for one of our cherished clients, Shocking Pink - http://shockingpink.co.za/ . A real fun loving and spontaneous company that are always coming up with new and exciting ideas (That Jen and I are lucky enough to be called in on to help with.) They are a company that strive to keep their customers enticed and on their toes, and we are always thrilled to be a part of that process.


These Candy Cards are just one of the ideas that Shocking Pink has come to us with. And shown above are a fraction of the designs we did for Celebration, Get Well Soon and Thank You there were also designs for Birthday, Valentines Day, Mother's Day and Love.


I'm excited for harder months to come along. Let's prove to ourselves that we're actually worth something.


We'll leave you with a note for the day, said by a special friend:
"Happy Tuesday Everyone! Don't get hit by a bus!"


Love
You&Me

Happy Monday

We have a few exciting projects that we'd like to share with you all but none JUST ready to blog about.

But You&Me are not the type to leave one hanging...

So, here's to a happy happy Monday (we hope.) As Mondays go, they are definitely no friend of mine nor Jens. As a result we thought we'd share this special something to get your creative juices flowing, and hopefully start your week off with a good "I just want to make something pretty" feeling in your belly.

"Marta Penter is a painter originally hailing from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Penter uses watercolor and oil paints to create her detailed works of art in her new series where she sheds “new light to man and his world, rescuing the feeling of intimacy which has been lost in a globalized and immediate world.”" - (emptykingdom.com)
