For the past couple of years, we’ve been designing St. Catherine’s School’s catalog for their popular summer program, Cat’s CAP. This year, things are a bit different as Cat’s CAP is now part of an expanded summer program called Brilliant Summer. It will continue to offer all of the greatness the community has come to expect, but now with even more offerings from sports and dance to academic enrichment courses. As always, it was a pleasure working with the folks over at St. Catherine’s School and the result was a beautiful and newly designed catalog (with spot gloss varnished cover!).

We had the exciting opportunity to work with Rutherfoord on their 2009 Year in Review. Rutherfoord continues to grow as one of the nation’s largest insurance brokerage and risk management firms. The theme for the publication was “beyond borders” and our objective was to highlight Rutherfoord’s strength in venturing beyond the familiar – removing barriers, uncovering opportunities, opening possibilities and taming risk on behalf of their clients.


J H I teamed up with Hamilton Beach to create a series of print and online ads to promote 2 fabulous Hamilton Beach products: the Stay or Go Slow Cooker and the Brewstation. We refined their existing look to create 6 online ads and 2 print ads that ran in national publications such as Martha Stewart Living and Everyday with Rachel Ray. See the results below the jump!

At J H I, we have the pleasure of working with many clients across various industries. You can imagine why we love our jobs – it never gets stale! We have a long standing relationship with the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (RMCVB) and developed their current “History” advertising campaign.
Our clients at RMCVB recently approached us with a new demographic to target – the GLBT community. We immediately got to work on the new ad concept, “History. Open for all.” We used Richmond residents as our models and had the photo shoots in Carytown and at Stronghill Dining Company (which is delicious too!).


J H I is featured in the January issue of Grid Magazine. Grid is a new publication serving the Greater Richmond Region, and J H I is honored to be featured in the “Innovators” section of the publication – believe us when we tell you that we’re among excellent company. Check out the article here. And remember, its always a good idea to share good news with a friend!

You’ve met our intern Stephanie here on our blog (if you haven’t met her in the office or spoken to her on the phone), and I’d like to take a moment to toot her horn just a bit. Although we already know she is absolutely fabulous and a wonderful addition to JHI, Print Magazine has recognized her design star potential and selected her cover design as one of three finalists for the student cover competition. This year’s theme asked design students to address a global problem and show how good design could solve it. Stephanie’s cover design oh so cleverly addressed the issue of public transportation.
We’re so proud of her, and to show it, we’ve all voted a million times in support (because clearly it is the best and we are showing no bias what-so-ever). We’d love it if you did the same! Click to vote for Stephanie now!

For Halloween this year, we decided to carry on the theme of school dances (last year was J H I Prom of ’85) and throw a sock hop! Our kitchen area was transformed into a 50′s diner complete with jukebox and… ELVIS. Enough said.

Celebrations is St. Catherine’s annual newsletter which highlights the various achievements of the graduating class and celebrates the end of the school year. More pics after the jump, enjoy!

That’s right, our “History” campaign for the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitor’s Bureau made it as far as NYC! RMCVB received a great opportunity to advertise alongside editorial coverage in the New York Times this past Sunday where Richmond was the featured destination of their “36 Hours” column. The article features many Richmond favorites (and JHI staff favorites) Kuba Kuba, The Jefferson Hotel, The Camel and Black Sheep. This is a great example of integrating advertising with relevant editorial coverage to further promote your product or service. Great job RMCVB on a great national story!
