Business card designed to promote specialty gourmet Belgian offerings while also promoting a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Design created in Adobe illustrator.

The back of this card serves as a friendly call to action with it's peg board note design.

This logo emphasizes the double "c" in the domain name "ccooper.design". The orange fill in the letter "g" adds just enough color without dominating the logo design. Overall, the design is cheerful, energetic and creative - just like the designer herself! 

This logo uses the colors of the Belgian flag (red, black, and yellow) along with Swiss and Belgian design elements to produce a logo that is modern and bold while maintaining a bit of traditional old world charm.

Typo designs is a play on the word "typography." And, while "typo's" should never occur in professional work, the name and the design demonstrate the creative intelligence and whim of the designer.

As a subtle reference to the wedge my fence drove between me and my neighbors, the letter F forms a wedge between the letters "e" and "n" in "Fence." The world of typography is fascinating and complex providing endless possibilities for the expression of ideas and artistic expression when letterforms become design elements.

This favicon mirrors the design elements in the logo for "ccooper. design," representing the double "C", while also adding the color spot to a capital "D" to emphasize "Design." As a favicon, it is unique and easily recognized in the browser.

The header design incorporates the site logo with several friendly messages: "Welcome!" (home page), "Projects" (Design Projects), "Let's Chat" (Contact Page), and, "Why I Design" (About Page).

The concept for this page design was to demonstrate how this sans-serif typeface has dominated the world of typography. Created in 1957 by Max Miedinger, Helvetica continues to be a solid performer for clean, bold typographic design.
