Illustrated Friday: Design Charette

All artwork, objects and designs featured here are hand-crafted TreeSpace Studio creations.

How does a hand-crafted or artisan business stand out from today’s saturated sea of slick logos and promotional material? Go uniquely rustic and hand-drawn! The TreeSpace Studio would like to help craft or redesign a professional image and brand for your emerging small business that truly reflects the unusual qualities and artistry behind your creations. However, we understand that branding packages are expensive and not always within the price range of the new kid on the block!

The TreeSpace Studio’s Illustrated Friday Design Charette was formed so that we can offer an opportunity for folks to submit a business design dilemma and win an entry for full-color sketch ideas. This will help you kick-start your little biz and qualify you for a special rate if you do decide to commission us for the final project!

We offer a full range of services:

  • Custom Hand-illustrated Logos and Labels with hand-drawn or hand-stamp qualities

  • Custom Business Stationery from unique and sustainable materials
  • Customizable Keepsake Packaging from upcycled and sustainable materials
  • Hand-illustrated Websites/Blogs
  • Hand-illustrated Kit of Web Promotionals-banners, avatars, buttons
  • Interior Design Retail 3d-modeling and conceptualizing

Here’s how it works:

1. Starting a new business or want to re-brand and existing one to better reflect your work? New logos, labels, stationery, packaging or websites/blogs? Tired of commonplace slick commercial logos that don’t stand out?

2. Click on the button at the bottom of this page that says “Submit for Illustrated Friday’s Design Charette”

3. Fill in your small biz design challenge and click SUBMIT!

4. One interesting and unique entry will be picked on a charette week (usually once every two weeks) and you will be emailed if yours will be featured on a particular Friday.

5. Come that Friday, there will be a quick illustration, a series of sketches or vignettes accompanied by a write-up to help you brand your business in a way that uniquely reflects your work.

6. That’s it! Simple, no obligations on your part, just a fun design and thinking-outside-the-box exercise! If you want to you can commission the studio to take the design/idea further, see our Etsy Page to purchase our Small Biz Branding Packages. Entry Winners receive 30% off the listed price! That is huge savings and a BIG reason to submit your charette entry :)
