SOLUTIONS

LMD™ Voice Over Actor Collateral

Our client, a voice over actor, approached us with the request to create a promotional piece that would make him stand apart in his competitive industry by representing his style with a unique visual appeal.

LMD’s solution was to re-introduce the look of his tie, which was also done to highlight his range of style. We customized each word in order to create a tie made up of interesting iconography. Complementing this method with a warm color palette allowed us to showcase our clients style in an attractive and sophisticated way.

This whole piece set consisted of a cover art, back art, spine and CD label design.

LMD™ Aso Pusa Identity and Wed Design

Aso Pusa (which means dog and cat in tagalog), was an interesting request from an international client seeking to create an identity for a cat and dog breeding service.

LMD’s approach was to create custom mascot characters and typography to play up the friendly appeal of the site. Because the main audience of the site is overseas, we wanted the iconography to be simple yet web appealing. The round characteristics of the typography led us to create matching characters that visually tell the story of the site. Additionally by developing a simple and short tag line we are able to draw in users to feel more comfortable browsing through the site. The site development and organization was also a key element in making the site more user friendly.

LMD™ Tang Gang Music Group Identity

Graphic design has its different avenues and here at LMD, we always look forward to opportunity to develop Identities and Brands. Being able to figure out a solution for telling a story or message through a symbol always puts our creativity and conceptualizing to the test.

For this particular project, we had the opportunity to work with up and coming funk band The Tang Gang. They came to us looking for a mark that could very well represent their groovy or in this case ‘Tangy’ sound.

The direction that was chosen explores an organic approach. The characters have been customized to maintain a certain looseness while at the same time reflecting on the characteristics of type that was used in the 70’s funk era. The T and G have been used to hold all of the characters together which allows the mark to stand alone and bold.

LMD™ ‘Homegrown Comedy Show’

LMD had a great time developing the art concept for Homegrown Comedy Night. It was only proper to create a custom type face and illustration to tie in the theme from the ‘ground up’. From the illustrative weed to the not so accurate LA-scape we had a blast creating the artwork and showcasing our ‘Locally Sourced Comics’.

LMD™ JB Photography Identity 

A logo / identity for photographer James Benito. The client wanted to retain a logo that would reflect him and his photographic background. What we came up with was a mark that met the clients needs, and was still able to maintain his initials as requested. The mark is encased within crop mark, similar to those found inside of a viewfinder. By applying the same shape within the font we were able to create a custom mark that could stand alone throughout his branding, but could also live as a watermark alongside his photography.
