Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

I’m really impressed with this unique iden­tity project for Eastfield Village by Brooklyn-based Hovard Design. More about the project in their own words:

We recently had the priv­i­lege to work with Don Carpentier, Owner and Director of Historic Eastfield Village sit­u­ated in the rolling hills of Rensselaer County, NY,  to develop their iden­tity, pack­ag­ing and website.

Eastfield is the life­long project of Don, who is a true renais­sance man in a mod­ern world. Over 18 his­toric build­ings have been metic­u­lously relo­cated to the cur­rent prop­erty, many of which were orig­i­nally slated for demo­li­tion. Don is not only a mas­ter car­pen­ter, he is a his­to­rian, pot­ter, printer, tin­smith and black­smith, among his many other talents.

Currently the prop­erty hosts work­shops in 18^th Century American trades, pro­vides lec­tures on art and pot­tery, and is a remark­able oasis in a chaotic and tech­no­log­i­cal world.

Hovard Design chose to develop an iden­tity to exem­plify the vil­lage and its time period.
Aside from the web, the iden­tity is either printed let­ter­press or uti­lizes rub­ber stamps.
