Golden Retriever Stationery!

Jamie Greenberg — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:09:09 GMT

I love pets. Especially Golden Retriever's, when I see one walking down the street I can't help but smile. I just sent this Pet Set to a client, and I hope she enjoys using them as much as I did creating them!

The Ideal Day Marketing Package

Jamie Greenberg — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:41:21 GMT

As I am growing in my business, I wanted to share the graphic design side of Jamie Lynn Designs. This not only includes printed pieces as shown below, but cohesiveness of a brand in all forms of media. Web design more than ever is an absolute must when launching any type of business or product. This image needs to extend to everything that is shown to prospective clients, as I still feel that something that they can hold in their hands is just as important.

Thank You Notes with Style

Jamie Greenberg — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:24:03 GMT

When most people start planning their wedding, the Thank You cards are usually an after-thought. When Gwen and Michael started planning, they started thanking people in style. I am working with Gwen on her invitations for her wedding next summer, and the Thank You cards below were the start of her invitation design. I am very excited to start working on the suite, as the creation of a concept is one of my favorite steps in the design process!

What is in a name?

Jamie Greenberg — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:52:17 GMT

I love how a sweet name can really enhance the fun factor in almost anything. These designs below make me want to have a chocolate kiss on a sand dune while drinking a cherry bomb by the reef!

The art of writing a note is not lost in my book, and what better a way to do it with great stationery? These designs below will let the recipient know that you not only wrote them a heartfelt note, but also kept in mind the stylish package it comes in.

Clean Cut Chicago Invitation

Jamie Greenberg — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:44:23 GMT

After enjoying decent weather in Chicago for the past few weeks, I started thinking about how great the city is in the summer. I love how a simple design can make a statement, especially if you are using the city as a backdrop. This design would be fantastic in letterpress, and can go the distance in additional pieces such as place cards, menus, table cards, stationery, pretty much anything that can be printed on paper!

Hot Wedding Invitation Trends from the Big Apple: Guest Post from C&N Events

Jamie Greenberg — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:07:44 GMT

I love being in the know. This could anything from fashion trends to restaurants, and most importantly wedding invitations! C&N Events is a event planning firm based in Brooklyn, New York and is right on with the latest trends in events. I love connecting with other passionate people that have a love for what they do, as you can see from her very informative list below. I couldn't agree more with her stand on the importance of the invitation.

Trends that I love right now!
Opening the envelope of a wedding invitation is like opening a window to the promise of that day; it provides a peek of the festivities to come. Wedding invitations are extremely important to the wedding planning process this is how the bride and groom communicate with their guests. In addition to letting your guests know the details of the wedding, the wedding invitations also need to demonstrate the overall atmosphere of the event. This means that whether the event is casual or formal, the wedding invitations should reflect it. This will save them embarrassment from wearing a gown to a casual garden wedding!

Nature-inspired
Birds and related imagery have captured the attention of many brides. We expect to see more bridal stationery featuring hummingbirds, mockingbirds, simple floral branches and scenery. This is a great option for brides who are having an outdoor wedding. For a twist on the classic monogram try adding a floral detail, or choose a bold pattern of blossoms to any background.

3-Dimensional
I am absolutely loving interactive wedding invitations! We all enjoyed pop open books as kids but now it’s being used in a more grown up and still fun way! Adding objects and personal touches to the invitations gives a handmade feel to the wedding stationery.

Custom Illustrations
One of the hottest new wedding paper trends: Custom-illustrated stationery featuring architectural sketches of your wedding venue and handwritten wedding details of the weekend. Some of these illustrations are not only being featured on paper but fun places like handkerchiefs, coasters, napkins, and place cards.

Eco-friendly Designs
The green movement has been going strong for the past decade and will continue to spread around the world. It was only a matter of time before brides and vendors alike would start applying these greener practices to their weddings. These eco-friendly designs are not about sacrificing looks but creating a smarter product!

Whatever invitation you choose to send to your guest, elegant, modern, fun or quirky, it should 100 percent represent the bride, groom and your special day!

Love Art

Jamie Greenberg — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 20:12:44 GMT

I love art, and I have been drawing and painting ever since I could remember. I even won an art contest in second grade, and there were times that my classmates always thought I traced everything when I did it all freehand! I decided that I would combine my passion for art with graphic design, since I also love using design programs as another tool to create. Interested in purchasing an original piece or commissioning artwork? I can be contacted at jamie@jamieldesigns.com.
