We are never short on interesting projects around here at J H I. Recently, we named and branded the First Annual Membership Meeting of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity which will be held in October in Washington, D.C. As expressed in their mission statement, the goal of the LCLD is to “significantly advance diversity and inclusion within the law profession.” We are thrilled to be working on this project! J H I has branded this high-powered and influential conference with a strong logotype using bold colors and shapes to communicate diversity and openness.
J H I has been able to integrate some interesting new media applications into this project, including an emailed Flash animation which unveils the conference theme to registrants. Click below to watch it!
When we heard about the financial hardships of the historic Byrd Theatre, we were heartbroken. We love the Byrd. We can’t imagine Richmond without it. We know lots of other locals feel the same. And we knew the annual Carytown Watermelon Festival was only a week away, when thousands of potential donors would be walking past this beloved landmark. Two days and one great slogan later, we had designed a t-shirt and gotten a few sponsors on board, including Target Marketing, who offered to help get 500 shirts produced and delivered in time for the festival. The shirts are $15 each (cash only) and will be sold Sunday, August 8 in the lobby of the Byrd Theatre. You can also pick one up at World of Mirth, Eurotrash and Chasen Galleries. A special thanks goes out to our silent sponsors – anonymous at their own request – whose generosity means that 100% of shirt sale proceeds will directly benefit the Byrd Theatre Foundation. If all goes well, we’ll sell out and need to produce another 500 to meet the overwhelming demand!

That bright orange scooter parked outside is the sign of a new addition here at J H I.
Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Meena Khalili, designer and illustrator and the newest addition to J H I. It is a sincere privilege to be working in this productive and successful creative think tank!
I’ve come to J H I just after receiving my MFA in Design from Virginia Commonwealth University. Prior to that, I studied Illustration at VCU where I earned my BFA in Communication Arts and Design. I have studied illustration in Florence Italy, and taught graphic design in Doha, Qatar. I get my good ideas by traveling, observing cultures, and drawing the world around me.
Just last month, Applied Arts Magazine recognized a series of my illustrations which were inspired by the charming and charismatic coffee shops I’ve observed here in Richmond, Virginia. This work will be featured in the September 2010 Student Awards Issue of Applied Arts Magazine as well as in the November Awards Exhibition in Toronto, Canada.
Richmond, Virginia. this historic and interesting city, is chock full of visual nourishment that continues to feed us those good ideas!

It’s pretty gratifying to enter only one thing in an awards show, and win. The print and online ad campaign JHI created for The Gables at Westminster Canterbury Richmond was awarded a Bronze in the Housing/Advertising: Print/Radio/TV category at the 19th Annual National Mature Media Awards. We are grateful for the recognition, and grateful to have the opportunity to do good work for a great client.
ChildFund began in 1938 in Richmond, VA. Founded by Dr. J. Calvitt Clarke, it was originally called China’s Children Fund (CCF), and was created to help children displaced by the second Sino-Japanese War. The “child sponsorship” concept we know today stemmed from Dr. Clarke’s vision: one sponsor donates one amount to help one child.
