Out & About and On the Boards: University of Idaho - Kibbie Dome Moscow, Idaho

Abby and Elizabeth traveled to Moscow, Idaho with Alec Holser and Chris Roberts of Opsis Architecture to prepare for our work designing signage and specialty graphics for the University of Idaho's Kibbie Dome.
There was a hint of snow in the air as we walked the site and documented conditions. The photo at right was taken (by others) on a blue sky day earlier in the year.
At the end of the day we were happy to come inside and sit down while reviewing stadium seating submittals.

Architecture Foundation of Oregon

When Elizabeth joined the Architecture Foundation of Oregon Board in January, the group was poised to clarify their message and logo in order to communicate AFO's expanding role in the community. She joined the team for a season of focus groups, brainstorming and design: in short, a rebranding exercise. The result: the new afo identity expresses the organization's approachable, community based mission and is supported by a short paragraph some call our elevator message:

"afo supports Oregon's quality of life and creates awareness of our designed environments through education, advocacy, philanthropy and inspiration."




The roll-out for the new afo logo coincided with this year's Honored Citizen event, for which Elizabeth also created the identity and graphics.

Harvest Designs

This year, our friend and collaborator, Jason Naiman has surprised and delighted us all with gifts from his garden. We are astounded by the natural forms of his climbing zucchini and, after much admiring, have created a variety of dishes with this amazing vegetable. Truly, a designer's delight. His latest and most beautiful offering - the Swan - is still being admired.
