Boston’s weather has taken a turn from June to January today, leaving me happy I grabbed a jacket despite not checking the forecast. Ours is a city for umbrellas and galoshes, no doubt about it. The sloppy weather makes bumpershoots a necessity, Bostonian sensibility dictates that they’re nearly universally black or navy, and the winds […]

After Friday night’s ICA shindig, we holed up to make some serious headway on designs for thank yous, wedding invitations and monograms, interrupted only by groceries and a disappointing fourth place trivia finish. We also finally got around to photographing invitations that were designed for Danielle (and Nick’s) shower and bachelorette weekend.
We’ve been very, very lucky to be very, very busy with work for some pretty terrific clients lately. Most of our current projects are still under wraps, but with these Save the Dates having been mailed out last week, we’re excited to share a few quick shots here.
I’ve been holding off on posting about our New Years invites because, frankly, I’m concerned that images won’t do them justice – but the time has come. This year was our fourth year hosting a black tie NYE, and our third designing formal invitations. For a peek at years past, check out this post, and […]
What, this wasn’t part of your New Year’s celebration? That’s a shame. We kicked off 2012 with our annual shindig, with a few new additions – most importantly, a photo booth. We’ll share this year’s invitations and a few recipes from the fete that were a hit soon; in the meantime, a few of our favorite shots.
A quick sneak-peek behind the holiday projects underway right now: Here’s wishing you a yours a very happy holiday season!
Today at Thread.The.Needle, Maria gets the scoop on the origin of our name, inspiration, wanderlust and my best bread recipe. Q. Where did your blog name, Union Jack Creative, come from? A: The blog shares the name of the design firm I run with my partner, Jack. When we got started, Jack had been playing around […]
For Friday, we leave you with this. By way of brief explanation (for truly, in some things, less is more) – the title of the original assignment was “My. Touchy Face,” the object of which was to develop a character in flash whose features would animate into five emotions when a user hovered over a […]
We’ve recently entered the early stages of a few big projects, but it’s been quite some time since we shared something we’ve finished. The site for Design Make is one that we wrapped up earlier this summer. Michelle already had a mockup of her design; we stepped in to translate her work into a custom […]
This weekend, the sun shone – and it was warm. Very warm. (A quick aside: I’ve only recently come to realize that many people don’t understand why this turn of phrase makes sense. This, to me, is strange, because it always seemed so obvious. Interesting.) Jack was out and about for a work conference on […]
