Farmhouse Table Produce is the retail front for the Community Farm Connection, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local farmers in North Central Washington, and to providing residents with a connection to their locally-grown, fresh produce. The organization wanted to the brand the store as fresh, bright, vibrant, and ultimately a place to get delicious fresh produce. Apt Design bridged the gap between the farmhouse and the table with a custom-illustrated, brightly-colored logo. The organization was in love at first sight.
e3 Brochure
With marketing clout from a variety of sources backing them, the e3 committee hired Apt Design to create a brochure that promoted the region to tourists from around the world. Utilizing a warm color scheme, we packaged an array of wonderful local photos that shows the diversity of recreational opportunities concentrated here in North Central Washington. The brochure wrangles all these photos under control with a modernist grid design. Professional copy by Jennifer Korfiatis gave the reader plenty of reasons to come to the area, and a printing of over 50,000 brochures gave the design to plenty of readers.
e3 Logo
The e3 committee is made up of many influential members of the Wenatchee Valley, all with one goal in mind - to promote North Central Washington during the 2010 Olympic Games. The Olympics will be held in Vancouver, BC and the committee was looking for a way to show visitors that NCW is a sunny recreational getaway. The idea of sun was key, and Apt developed that into a warm, strong logo that presented a fun place to escape to in any season. Through good communication and strong concepts Apt was able to give e3 a stable brand that pleased the entire committee.

Apt Design worked with Gill Diamond Hospitality, owner of many of Wenatchee’s finest hotels, to create individual websites for each of their properties. Each site has a unique look and feel that reflects the personality of the hotel. However, all have common elements - sidebar navigation, a photo gallery, links to local attractions and more. The sites provide visitors with all the information they need without bogging them down with overwhelming amounts of text and facts. We worked closely with management to build websites that would not only introduce the property to visitors, but also get them to make a reservation directly.
Xtreme Internship
The logo that Apt Design created for Xtreme came fully to life as we fashioned a full design style around it. Aimed at a target audience aged 18 to 24, this style was bold, grungy, and complex. Its heavy textures and ornaments were designed to appeal directly to its audience. The brochure that was produced met with instant enthusiasm from current and future members of Xtreme and gave the program a definitive look.
Write on the River 2008
Write on the River is a long-time client of Apt Design, and we have created for them an entire range of design and promotional materials. For 2008 we overhauled their design style to include richer colors, subtler textures, and beautiful ornamentation. Once the style was in place we carried it into a variety of projects. The result? Another sell-out conference and great response from attendees and speakers.
Xtreme Internship
The Xtreme Internship is a post-high school program allowing students to intern at a church for real-world experience. During this time they deepen their roots in their faith while expressing it in outward actions. Apt Design created a logo that communicated these aspects of the program, using modern imagery and styles that would connect with the Intership’s younger demographic. We also integrated a cross, which the eldership asked to be included to ensure the group was associated with the church.
Team Wilson Book
Team Wilson knew that for their self-published book to be taken seriously, it would require a professional design. They approached Apt Design with the need for a bold, striking cover that would convey the immediacy and importance of their book’s content. We worked with them to create that strong cover as well as designing the inside of the book with layouts that were easy to digest, pleasing to read, and used sports-inspired fonts.
Book Cover Concepts 2
Apt Design was privileged to get to work with DogEared Design on a project for one of the world’s largest Christian publishers. Apt Design provided concepts and revisions for a series of study guides written specifically for small groups. Though the publisher eventually decided on a different direction, we were excited to partner with DogEared Design on such a fulfilling project.
