Jet Set Go!


JET campus is a not-for-profit that works with educating college students on a many Chicago area and Illinois campuses. They provide learning, travel, and networking opportunities. YELLmedia, Inc. helped them redesign their logos and create a website that would be attractive and hip to college students. We did this by with lots of modern fun graphics, a flash intro movie explaining the things JET campus does, and plenty of real photos of real students. There are ads that can regularly be updated so students have a reason to go back and visit the website along with a google calendar that JET campus can update on their own.

Can you see it?


Get Exposed Clothing [TM] is a new hip clothing label. They desired a realistic eye image in their logo. After finding suitable photographic images for them YELLmedia, Inc. helped Get Exposed by creating a realistic, yet graphic depiction of the eye using AI's Live Trace feature. This would allow resizing the logo big or small to always look awesome and yet retain that grainy texture feeling without becoming pixelated or bit mapped. We then matched the intense grainy image with an equally stressed type treatment. This featured logo looks equally cool in b/w color and on white or back background.

Groove me baby!


Groove Monkee is a company that creates midi-beats sound tracks to be used by professional musicians. They offer a range of products for all types of music genres. YELLmedia, Inc. created packaging for the shelf products. It was important to have shelf appeal, incorporate current branding, and create a graphic style that could be applied to a whole family of products and musical genres so that packaging can look clean and consistent.

The Soul Mate Guy - Frank Polancic



Frank Polancic logo was created to brand and represent Frank Polancic as a brand. Polancic is a successful businessman, sought-after speaker and the leading authority on creating soul mates. He has been extensively trained in traditional and non-traditional methods of personal transformation and achieving life goals and has written the popular "Why Wait? Create Your Soul Mate Now." YELLmedia, Inc. redesigned/branded Polancic honing in on a description commonly referred to him "The Soul Mate Guy." Using and creating this brand allows Frank to expand his work to future books, movies, speaking engagements, etc. The logo incorporates the bold red and black and is both simple, clean, and attention getting. The logo can easily lend itself to a presentation or a book. The red of the logo commonly symbolizing love abstractly creats a heart shaped impression with his name.

Brochure Space


Spa Space is your preferred spa in downtown Chicago. Located in the West Loop, Spa Space is considered the most progressive Chicago spa downtown for men and women. YELLmedia, Inc. assisted Spa Space with two brochure designs. One brochure serves double duty as a pedicure menu that sits on pedicure chairs, but also lets the clients know that their station has recently been sanitized printed on a durable glossy card stock to be reused. The other brochure (B2B) targets business' work balance programs by showcasing Spa Spaces corporate perks with office visits offering chair massages, mini-mani's, and more.

It's Ruff!


Ridgeline Dog Gear is a new active wear n' gear company for dogs seeking quality outdoor gear made out of top notch materials comparable to human outdoor companies such as Patagonia. The goal was to create and identity that conveyed three main qualities - dogs, outdoor adventure, and a ridge from the name "ridgeline." This was a challenge as there were many concepts to tie into the one logo. Also, the logo would need to be flexible enough to be attached to a collar or be printed on a shirt. The logo was placed in a frame to call attention to it and in order to outline the reversed out mountains against a sunrise/sunset active orange gradient colored background.

Also, a homepage place holder was developed to create excitement for the company, by continuing the brand image and featuring some suggestive active canine shots. Contact information provided.

YELLmedia, Inc. created the brand identity, logo, business card design, web page layout.

Online Learning Redesign


Upstairs Solutions LLC is the premier online training provider in senior care. They needed to redesign their website to be branded across the board and incorporate the use of their training mascot Professor Maxwell. Maxwell is now well integrated into the site from welcoming you on their home page in their flash sequence introduction to buttons and icons throughout the site. Also, important was to increase the ease of navigation and make sure that additional tutorials and audio within the site was also kept within branded webpages.

Additionally we added testimonials, under "True Stories" that let the visitor learn more about success with the online training programs they offer. All of the headings on each page are in the form of a question to engage the reader, but also because learning involved asking questions and getting answers - which is what Upstairs Solutions is all about.

YELLmedia, Inc. redesigned the website, enhanced the intro flash movie, tested and uploaded the site, and assissted with copy.
