Arcane Palette Creative Design » artistic graphic design

This design was a make over for a clothing boutique that needed a more exciting and one-of-a-kind look to fit their image better.  We built the new Wild Oats Boutique in Magento, our favorite shopping cart program, and designed a newsletter template to match the new site.

We started with some rough ideas like using lots of fun textures and creating a leopard print background to match the new printed bags they were using at the store.  It was tricky to get the leopard print texture to match the feel of the bags and be able to wrap or repeat but we persevered and the result is worth it.  We added some textures (like warm-toned papers, a vintage picture frame and velvet ribbon) with a vintage chic look and ended up with a truly gorgeous and unique design.

Our favorite part of this site is the various scraps of paper, ribbon, paper tag and other small decorative elements that combine to give this a hand-created feel that screams “Boutique!”.

Sunflower Favors is a small business selling wedding and party favors.  They wanted a creative, boutique-y feel and had requested their site be built on ZenCart software.
We’ve had a lot of experience pushing, tweaking, and otherwise completely pulling apart and putting back together ZenCart designs to make them look anything but like a typical ZenCart site, so we were more than willing to build a beautiful design to appeal to their specific audience.  We came up with a bright-colored, clean but artistic design featuring a logo with the colors of their red sunflower throughout the letters and some flowery, swirling designs to add to the corners.

We did a bit of template tinkering to achieve the specific layouts they wanted, as well as designing their logo graphic.  We also helped get their payment gateway set up and tested on the site so they just needed to worry about entering their products into the database.
