seattle anniversary
at the end of october, my wife and i celebrated three years together and one year of marriage. to mark this occasion, we traveled to seattle as a honeyversarymoon … a combination halloween, anniversary, honeymoon trip. we explored the city, the sights, the underground, the great outdoors, and everything seattle had to offer.
on our way home, i took out my sketch book and made a quick typographic treatment of “seattle” as a small attempt to make the trip last just a little bit longer. i used that sketch as inspiration for a brand for seattle itself. i tried to capture the vibe of the pacific northwest and the feeling of adventure.
i expanded the brand and the ‘a’ icon into a suite of illustrations that encapsulate the offerings of the seattle area and part what my wife and i did. we hiked, explored a mountain, road ferries, sipped coffee at the top of the space needle, and generally slowed down.
