Hi Love vs. Design blog readers, sorry it has been a long time since we've updated our LVD blog. We promise to write more frequent updates moving forward. A lot of exciting things have been happening in and around the office in the last few weeks.

Martha Stewart and Daily Candy featured us on their websites and the responses from around the world have been amazing. Also, check out our recent features on Green Wedding Shoes, Rustic Wedding Chic and 100LayerCake.

New wedding Save the Dates, Invites, etc are coming up in the next few weeks created by our LVD design team. Our International LVD design team is expanding and we are working on our first Featured Artist Program to launch next month.

Last weekend we had a photo shoot for new free and affordable Printable templates and we’ve been working on an upcoming weekly web series to launch soon. Here is a sneak peak of our first free printable template which will be online next week.

We’ve been in business for nearly 1 year now and we’d like to thank all our readers, followers, customers, vendors, business partners and fans for all the support, you guys have been amazing!
To the future!

I admire any artist that makes me react, good or bad. I'm influenced by everything that surrounds me, my pups, friends, family, music, tv, movies, magazines, the internet.

I was inspired by the thought of all different walks of life that would possibly look through LVD for inspiration. I imagine the couple who prefer vintage, outdoors garden wedding, or the minimalist. It was initially overwhelming with having endless ideas and inspirations, so hopefully these are also inspiring. Being chosen to contribute to LVD makes me proud :-)

The easiest part of the design process is the beginning - brainstorming, inspirations pulls, the blank white computer screen is my favorite part of the process. The most difficult part is the ending - knowing when to stop.

You can see more of Christine's designs on her website cpakcreative.com and you can follow her puppies here.

I'm inspired by New York City, Paris, Rand, Kalman, Tufte, Hoefler, Eggleston, Eames, Corbusier, Frankenthaler, and Whiteread.

My Language of Love wedding design was inspired by Minimalist, midcentury, urban and beyond.

I'm proud of working at MoMA during their new building campaign and seeing it come to fruition. Launching a new aesthetic style and look for K2's tech driven snowshoe brand Atlas.

Most of the artists I admire are designers. I have a pretty long laundry list of design-heros, but the designer I currently admire the most is probably Jessica Hische. She does really amazing work in every area of design from hand-done typography to web. I'm influenced by current design blogs. My usual morning routine involves waking up and clicking around on the internet to see what new design work has been posted. Some of my favorites are: Ffffound!, Grain Edit, Graphic Exchange and Type Everything.

My style varies from project to project, but I think one common thread is that I really like clean, well-set type. I also like to incorporate hand-done processes into my designs whenever I can. Whether it's just creating a texture to scan in and add to a logo or creating an image to be photographed for a layout, I like to design both on and off the computer.

The main influences for these designs were historical. I was looking at a lot of vintage packaging while creating these designs including old tins from the 1900's and air mail envelopes and stamps from the 40's and 50's.

I think the most difficult aspect is probably coming up with a strong concept for a design. I'm not sure what the easiest part would be, because I think it changes from project to project. On one design it might be hard to find the right typeface or choose the perfect colors, but on another design it might be a really simple decision.

I don't typically think too much about what I've done because I usually like to focus on what I'll do next. However, I'll be receiving my BFA degree in Graphic Design in December, so I guess that's pretty cool. I also just finished putting on a gallery show with a group of fellow designers that I think came together pretty well, so I'm pretty proud of that.

You can find out more about Shannon on her website.

There are a lot of designers who inspire me. In the last couple of months I'm really diggin fresh illustrations with an own style combined with Typography, like Hedof, Steven Harrington, Flying Fortress , 123 Klan and Stefan Marx. I'm really into the website Grain Edit, I like 95% of the inspiration blog.

For the Heartchery design we wanted to create a soft and tender little world thats growing love all over it. A growing love flora and fauna. Like in a forest were plants and little birds and butterflies are busy creating a new life and working to set the right environment. A feeling of working together in the garden thats called Marriage were you need each other to let the plants of the future grow into a little forest together.

My business partner Camiel and I run a visual marketing company Studio Wonder. Last year we won the Deventer Aanmoedingsprijs 2011 – an award for artists and businesses who make a different in their city by working on many cultural and community projects.
