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

Build It Green

Hi all! As Jen and I are pretty much green freaks, this project is one we are particularly proud of.

Build It Green called us in at the eleventh hour to design a print ad for their new campaign, to be featured in the April issue of Entrepreneur Magazine. The campaign "The BIG Impact Week" is a challenge to South African companies and individuals to implement impactful changes to their personal and professional lives.

Build It Green is on a quest to catalyse environmental change for a greener future, providing various offerings that focus on architecture, construction, lifestyle and sustainability. Committing to building a more sustainable planet, they advise on how to conserve energy, save time and money.
Pretty great if you ask us! 


So, find out more about BIG at www.builditgreen.co.za/ and buy the April issue to find out more about the campaign and get yourselves involved!

The Kerning Game

So, these were pretty cool. Mostly because it gave Jen and myself a small but long awaited ego boost after a very tedious and character testing week, of which we will be able to blog about soon. 

But this should keep you entertained in the meantime.

The games are at the bottom of the page.

Do it, tweet it, Facebook it and leave us your scores in the comment box. We'd like to give praise where it's due or laugh at you and thank you for improving our week thus far.

Unless you're a designer and you fail. 

Because that would just be embarrassing.

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)

Wedding Stationery

Tiny Heart - Save The Date.

Scrabble - Invite.

Sail Away With Me - Save The Date

Photo Overlay - Invite Front

Photo Overlay - Invite Back

It's that time of year again! 

So Jen and myself have been mocking up an assortment of wedding stationery packages, including save the dates, invites, response cards, name placement cards, thank you notes and menus. 

What you see above are just the save the dates and invitations for some of the packages we have designed so far. 

And we've both been having the BEST time doing them... 

So we are girls at heart after all.

Love
You&Me

Beautiful.

Inspiration to start off your week.

We Have a Web Designer!

After having to turn down too many clients, due to not being able to offer web design, we decided that it was a must to add this skill to the You&Me team.

So, after many an interview, portfolio viewing and much deliberation we finally met Leslie, our awesome in house web designer!

Please contact us for any further information.

And have a fantastic Monday.
