The Counter Corps is a limited-edition men's and women's accessories and small leather goods company. Currently, The Counter Corps consists of two product lines, CeeC, accessories and small leather goods for men, and CeeCee, similar products for women. 

As part of a comprehensive branding program and positioning for The Counter Corps, Cut Once was asked to help define the brand strategy, identity, and visual language. Everything from the brand architecture, identity, and product patterns to the digital experience was considered and realized. Specifically, this program consists of trademark/logotype development for CeeC and CeeCee, identity system, brand video, retail website, and email newsletter template. 

We utilized many unique features to bring this family of brands to life. For example, the double-sided business card functions as an interactive introduction to The Counter Corps mission and brands. The website was designed not only to showcase the product, but also encourage participation. And the product itself offers integrated patterns sure to delight any patron.

The So-Cal Wildfire Project was a collaborative effort by the design community to help effect change through our work. Signed and numbered, limited-edition projects were donated by designers and the sold to benefit the victims of the fires. All funds raised went directly to the Salvation Army, for the California Wildfire Fund.

ABOUT OUR PROJECT
Brighter Days Ahead was created to commemorate those affected by the southern California wildfires. The destruction of the wildfires is portrayed by physically making, photographing and then compositing various textures such as burnt paper, water stains, ash and grit. These elements are juxtaposed with beautiful illustrations of life occurring all around them. The beauty lies in the fact that life carries on. Even the scorched tree shows signs of new life through it’s sprouting buds. The text sprinkled throughout the poster are facts regarding the wildfires.

Haka clothing was not only inspired by Maori, but by New Zealand's entire sport culture as well. It thrives on the challenge of competition and is driven by performance in every sense of the word. This brand launch campaign consists of both full-page and quarter-page consecutive trade print ads, trade microsite, and a consumer launch ad.

The art direction for the Haka brand look was draws on the traditional Haka dance and ancient Maori tribal art. The brand expression was brought to life by blending the Maori culture with modern day athletes playing Rugby and people engaging in Parkour (the art of moving). Parkour is a discipline where participants move along a path and negotiate varying obstacles while defying gravity.

The Urban Forest Project is a series of unprecedented outdoor exhibitions taking root in cities around the world. This unique environmental, public arts and educational initiative calls on artists, designers and students in each location to employ the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful visual statement on banners that are displayed throughout the community. 

The tree is a metaphor for sustainability and, in that spirit the banners at the close of each exhibition are recycled into totebags and auctioned off to raise money for a local environmental and urban forestry initiatives. The program can easily be adapted to address a number of green, educational and creative initiatives in a variety of ways to shape a project that is unique and expressive of the local community.

We participated in the Baltimore, Maryland exhibition which spanned all throughout Baltimore City into six area parks. This exhibition brought together artists, designers, college students, K-12 students and area businesses to create awareness for making Baltimore more sustainable. 

All proceeds from the project benefited the Baltimore City Department of Recreation & Parks Tree Baltimore Campaign for a greener city. Concept, illustration, and design donated by Cut Once.

The Hurricane Katrina Project was a collaborative effort by the design community to help effect change through our work. Signed and numbered, limited-edition projects were donated by designers and the sold to benefit the victims of hurricane. All funds raised went directly to the Red Cross.

ABOUT OUR PROJECT
Katrina 1,836 was created to commemorate those affected by Katrina. Our design’s intention is to evoke a sense of emotional disbelief about the simplest yet most unbelievable facts regarding Hurricane Katrina. The font for 1,836 was set from a collection of antique wood type. The name Katrina was set in a modified version of Avenir. The background is made up of random textures that were collected over time and composited for this project.

The primary visual started as a voodoo doll which is one of many images symbolic of New Orleans. The skull represents death. The water and stains in the background emphasize the destruction that occurred which is still a major factor there. The wings are angelic. This poster was printed on the one year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. There are several easter eggs tucked into the design revealing different facts about this disaster.

AIGA, the professional association for design, commissioned Cut Once to create marketing materials to help promote Pulp, Ink and Hops, Maryland's largest paper show. At this event creative professionals and "paper-addicts," were able to network and view the latest papers, greatest printers and designer services from over 20 vendors.

Since Pulp, Ink and Hops is always held at a different venue, it seemed silly to overlook the fact that the National Electronics Museum would be the host for this year’s event. We felt reinforcing the unique venue along with the event would be an unexpected approach as opposed to the more obvious direction of doing something with pulp, ink and hops. The event concept started to become more clear as we began to research the museums artifacts and exhibits. We concluded a collage of electronics should become the primary visual for this poster. The result was an intricate robot collaged with many vintage artifacts from exhibits in the museum such as radios, telegraphs, glass vacuum radio tubes, radar displays, telegraph keys and a microphone.

Morse code became the second language throughout this piece because Morse code is one of the prominent exhibits in the communications gallery of the museum. Morse code also added an interactive element which engaged and challenged the viewer to use the Morse code decoder key on the back of the poster to decode various messages throughout this piece. Fun fact, the first Morse code message was sent from Washington DC to Baltimore.

The shootings on the campuses of Northern Illinois University and Louisiana Technical College earlier this year and the tragedy at Virginia Tech University last April brought a shocking reminder of how an ordinary, daily event can turn into tragedy. This tragedy illuminates, however, the generous human impulse to want to help those who have suffered loss.

In response to this tragedy, UCDA orchestrated a project by asking members and designers to design a poster that reflects some aspect of campus violence--the shock of the event itself, the heroism of the survivors, or the importance of crisis preparedness.

ABOUT OUR PROJECT
Casualties of the Classroom was conceived to act as a timeline documenting every incident that has occurred since 1966. It was donated to the UCDA Campus Violence Poster Project exhibition and then later auctioned off.

The Haiti Earthquake Project was a collaborative effort by the design community to help effect change through our work. Signed and numbered, limited-edition projects were donated by designers and the sold to benefit the victims of the 2010 earthquake. All funds raised went directly to Doctors Without Borders.

ABOUT OUR PROJECT
Hope Lies Beneath was created to commemorate those affected by the earthquake. The concept for this poster is hope lies beneath which was inspired by Haiti's nickname, La Perle des Antilles. La Perle des Antilles translated from French to English means the pearl of the Caribbean. A pearl is symbolic of something precious that is sought after. I chose to use it in my design to represent the people affected by this earthquake. I've incorporated several Easter eggs in this design revealing facts about this earthquake and if you look closely, you may find a silhouette of Haiti's country.

The client's request was to design a system of event materials that would commemorate Jamie’s sacred and special day as well as, deliver a uniquely-tailored celebratory experience for her family and friends to enjoy. The event was held at John Shield's Gertrude's at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

The underlying visual theme was a contemporary interpretation of the number 56, Jamie’s prized lacrosse number. It was kept abstract so that it would be interpreted more as typographic art and would be a talking point for the family if anyone asked.

No detail was overlooked, from the paper specified for the invitation (Neenah's Eames Painting Canvas) to all the support components such as thank you cards, directional signage for the museum, environmental graphics and Moleskine sketchbooks and Faber-Castell sketching pencils as gifts for the kids. The invitation was hand finished by a calligrapher, who styled her writing to match our typographic direction.

The invitation system consists of the outer envelope, an outer shell which houses all internal components, a cover card, invitation, ‘Party to Follow’ card, directions, rsvp card and rsvp envelope. It was printed 2-color on Neenah's Eames Painting Canvas Finish paper line.
