La Matera™ Identity
Project in development →February 2012
We are stoked to be responsible for the branding (shown here) and website design (coming very soon now) for La Matera™, a fashion company that specializes in authentic hand-made Argentinian belts and accessories. We can’t wait to show you more of the design and product. Identity collaborated with designers, Leslie Lewis Sigler and Madeleine Eiche. Very excited. Do you sense it?
Make Smith™
makesmith.com →November 2011
Make Smith™ is operated by Steven Soria, a third generation leather craftsman based in Santa Barbara, California.
We were approached to design a site that was classic, clean and functional in the purest sense. It needed to fit with Make Smith’s brand aesthetic and voice, a “desire to be innovative and new, while reflecting on design practices from the past.” With this in mind and stunning lifestyle photography, I think we nailed it.

Cultivate Wines
cultivatewines.com →October 2011
Another stellar project completed. It’s called Cultivate Wines, and it’s a modern and classic brand, one that is quietly at the center of a crowd where like minded individuals naturally gravitate. Expression Engine CMS helps power the innovative for-profit non-profit business model.
Project on-going.

We Quit the Plain
http://wequittheplain.com →August 2011
It’s always a pleasure to be approached with a project that fits perfectly with our design aesthetic and credo. We Quit the Plain, based from Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara, California, is a lifestyle and surf culture brand that is timeless in it’s pursuit of life. Here, we went with an editorial/publication style layout that flows with WQTP’s philosophy of sharing stories and riding waves – a simple, but true love for the experience.
Technically, the website is fully manageable with WordPress and is a huge step up from their previous blog that lacked gusto and style.

The Wonderlust Journal

In this project, Basic was hired to create a new identity and website for The Wonderlust Journal. We were in charge in the re-branding of the old Wonderlust “tumblr” style blog into a global digital and culture publication. We’re excited to not only see its growth but also its inspiring editorial posts. Enjoy.

Santa Barbara Magazine
sbmag.com →March 2010
It’s no surprise that with the tremendous push for interactive media through mobile devices and web, Santa Barbara Magazine needed a web presence that would cater to their more connected and agile viewers. Developed in collaboration with The AVM, a fully customizable and manageable platform along with clean and elegant grid-based design sense was needed to fully enhance the magazine’s transition to web.
