“Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.” Jeffrey Zeldman
ten friends
branding, business system, promotional materials, signage
Ten Friends is a blow dry and style house with multiple locations in the Chicago area. With a focus on farm to shower, sustainable products and specialized styling techniques, they wanted the look and feel of their branded materials to be clean, youthful and make their clients feel right at home. Inspiration was taken from simple classic patterns and upscale farm elements and the suite of digital and printed graphics mixed campy with glamor.

With soft colors, classic patterns, and indulgent flavors, Tasteful Grounds wanted a touch of a french bakery, a pinch of art deco and a whole lot of coffee flavor.
