One of the many projects of the summer, Issue 5 of Don’t Take Pictures has gone to print and is available now! Once again, we took on the print layout and design for the biannual photography journal, and found that the influence of trending blush tones can be seen in this issue’s cover, too. Per usual, the photography featured […]

It’s finally warmer outside, and work of a less creative persuasion has picked up accordingly – we’ve been planting and patching and repairing winter’s damage, but we fit a quick trip to Miami in before things picked up, too. Here’s what we’ve been up to! 1-Home Depot runs in a Miata include mulch behind the driver seat; 2-House […]

Marathon Monday has always been a key marker of the change of seasons for us: sure, it can snow in mid-April, or be blustery and rainy and miserable, but no matter the weather on the actual day, it’s an indication that we’ve collectively made it.

It’s official: Union Jack Creative is now on Pinterest. Jack and Kate have been using the platform for years to collect ideas and inspiration and to help translate clients’ visions into custom designs, but as we shift our focus it finally became worthwhile to have a UJC-specific account that stands alone, without house projects, style […]

In reorganizing our supplies, sketchbooks and work space this week, we came across a few gems. Let the record show: Kate has always been a doodler, and Jack has always been the punniest guy around. image credits: Union Jack Creative

Due out in July 2016, the next Ghostbusters movie will be a series reboot – featuring an all-female foursome! Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig have been cast in the spirit-slaying roles, amid much consternation from people I assume are afraid of powerful women and change. We put together a bold, 5×7 […]

What’s that, Boston? You’ve run out of Netflix to watch, and between fighting for the T and navigating avalanche conditions on the street, you never want to leave home again, but you need something to do when the ice pellets come this weekend? Back in the pre-snow days, before the holidays even, we tackled a […]
