Embryo Preservation Trust

Embryo Preservation Trust is a legal practice for anyone undergoing IVF and freezing embryos. We wanted to communicate ideas of security and perpetual preservation. The center of the icon suggests embryos in a microscope; the outer ring communicates perpetual motion, preservation of embryos over time. The icon also connotes a safe — a strong, spinning combination lock. That strength, however, lends comfort. The overall design elements create a pretty, welcoming environment.

Sweet & Sauer Branding and Packaging Design

Lauren Rhoades, the owner and muscle behind Sweet & Sauer, contacted Creative Distillery through Millsaps College's School of Business ELSEWorks consultancy. We developed distinctive branding and packaging to help launch her products onto store shelves. She's since been carried around Mississippi (including at two of our clients, Deep South Pops and Rainbow Co-op!) and is preparing applications for larger retailers.

Mississippi Book Festival Website & Event Graphics

We were asked by the Festival Planners to produce a website and promotional materials for the inaugural Mississippi Book Festival. Because it was the first festival, the scope and demands of the project were quickly evolving.

As the scale of the festival grew, so did the number of materials required. Our Project Manager and Design team were able to scale their efforts to meet the challenge, and produce all the related t-shirt, signage, advertising, and promotional materials needed for the event.

The Festival event tripled the initial attendance projections, and will be a successful event for years to come!

Mississippi Cold Drip Coffee & Tea Logo and Packaging

Ray, the business owner, had been making and selling this product based on his mother's devotion to cold-brewed coffee. Their old packaging was too masculine and off-trend for a small batch artisanal product. We created several approaches, ultimately settling on this one for its shelf appeal at a distance. Ray insisted on including a guitar, which led us to this engraving treatment. The product area is inspired by Mississippi craft quilts, and serves as a quick color system to differentiate between the offerings.

This is a great example of something that looks good but also has an immediate impact in sales. Ray reports that the phone is ringing off the hook from national retailers who want to carry this product. The system linking the products has been effective as well, and the products alongside the coffee have especially enjoyed increased sales.

This project was brought to us by the Millsaps College ElseWorks business consulting program. The team did all the work in locating and pricing the cool whiskey-style bottles.
