AATF PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER

Website Design

TIMELINE: 6 Months

TEAM SIZE: 3 People

The American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) is an organization devoted to the maintenance of the highest standards of culture among teachers—to study and apply the best methods of instruction.

The Philadelphia chapter approached Hey Moon Collective looking for creative support on their upcoming website redesign. The team collaborated with the chapter president and walked through the full creative process—from site mapping and wireframes, through prototyping and the final web build.

Our chapter’s website was something we had always wanted to upgrade. Based on a referral, I reached out to see how they could help, and I couldn’t be more astonished with the final product! Our website turned out amazing and looks even better than the main organization’s. I’m thrilled with their professionalism, thoroughness, and care about making sure that every page was perfect. We would not have gotten this done without Hey Moon!

Chapter President, AATF Philadelphia

The new site’s look/feel was heavily influenced by the parent chapter’s website. Our team wanted to ensure we were adhering to the parent brand standards for a full sense of visual cohesion. By pulling base styles, Hey Moon was able to create innovative design solutions that built off the initial strong foundation.

Hey Moon’s main priority was to design a web system that was easy for the client to maintain updates after the engagement ended. Our team ran several Zoom trainings and put together a PDF guide to ensure the chapter had a seamless knowledge transfer and could keep their new beautiful site up-to-date moving forward.

TOBIN-CARMANY WEDDING

Event Design & Collateral

TIMELINE: 150 Days

TEAM SIZE: 2 People

Though Theresa and Austin’s wedding was 12 years in the making, the timeline for event creative was significantly tighter. Hey Moon Collective went on to create a full event design collateral package in a little under 4 months—complete with branding, signage & wayfinding, print collateral, digital advertisements, swag, and a fully animated web experience.

This engagement is the perfect example of a ‘full design support’ event package. It showcases how design can make your events memorable, meaningful, and lend a sense of overall cohesion to the space.

The engagement kicked-off with initial brand exploration. We got a sense of the look/feel the couple was hoping to achieve, and also conducted several exercises to find ways of tying in their unique love story into the branding. Little easter eggs were peppered into their brand color palette, and supplemental hand-drawn illustration system so every ounce of the event design felt significant.

Our team wanted to ensure the logo was flexible, functional, and beautiful. We crafted the full mark for the majority of use case scenarios, and developed an additional condensed mark for small spaces like social media profile photos. The base of the logo was set in Neil Summerour’s Lust Script, and modified to mix and tangle with hand-drawn local foliage.

Hey Moon Collective designed small table-top signage for the event so attendees could quickly scan offerings and navigate the snacks, apps, and desserts. Aside from signage, the team also designed some unique items like the cake itself with each point of the gradient Pantone color-matched for quality assurance.

Leading up to the event, Hey Moon Collective launched a social media campaign targeting attendees. The purpose of the campaign was to keep them updated on event news and inform them of other activities in the area—something that would be crucial for those visiting from out of town. Posts ran on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

The large-format in-person signage package included several easels, a-frames, and a unique seating chart installation. All large format signage leveraged the primary event gradient to create a sense of cohesion in the space and allow the specific accent colors that have been peppered in to really shine.

Attendees received a kiss-cut sticker sheet and brochure as their event swag; however, the couple requested something a little different. The couple wanted to take home a custom 2-disc vinyl featuring the soundtrack to their love story. The packaging itself included custom artwork to make it feel even more significant.

Once attendees received their save-the-dates, they were redirected to the event website that acted as the single-source of truth for everyone planning their trips. It included all the most important information—from day-of itinerary and navigation details, to menu and dress code.

The website was designed as an intentional extension of the brand identity, with thoughtful animation details to bring the illustrations to life and generate excitement for the upcoming event. The aim was to make it beautiful, informative, and accessible—so anyone could use it.

KELSEA ARSENAULT FILM & PHOTOGRAPHY

Website Design & Branding

TIMELINE: 60 Days

TEAM SIZE: 2 People

Kelsea Arsenault was a freelance photographer originally located in the Clark County area. She specialized in candid photo sessions and cinematography, but needed a brand and website to help market her creative services. In 2018, Kelsea approached Hey Moon Collective to fill the gaps needed to flesh out her business offerings.

The rebrand and web build were more of a sprint, requiring the engagement to be completed in roughly 2 months. Hey Moon delivered both and went above and beyond—also offering corporate identity solutions.

The engagement kicked-off with initial brand exploration. Kelsea is the type of person who always has a camera and makes sure she’s in the middle of the action—never missing a beat. Her brand is heavily influenced by Henri Cartier Bresson’s candid approach to photography and his famous concept of the ‘decisive moment.’

When working through initial sketches for the logo, our team focused on imagery found in photography: film strips, cameras, oculus shapes, and camera lenses. In the end, the periodic table and elemental symbols influenced the form factor to further push the ‘element of a fleeting moment’ angle.

Along with the full brand central kit and custom WordPress site, Hey Moon Collective delivered visual guidance for business cards, letterhead, resumes, and more. These carefully typeset and styled solutions to corporate identity allowed every aspect of Kelsea’s touchpoint collateral to feel cohesive and considered.

Kelsea’s WordPress website was fully responsive, with layouts shifting for mobile, tablet, laptop, and 4k desktop views. The responsive elements were built and adjusted with each screen size to ensure the user experience constantly feels considered—regardless of the device in use.

Kelsea’s website was initially wireframed and prototyped in Figma. Once the designs passed a few rounds of review, the content was ported to a live build hosted on WordPress. The Hey Moon team acquired the domain and web host on Kelsea’s behalf, and built the WordPress site with a templated approach to make updates and maintenance accessible after the engagement concluded.

Adding an extra level of polish is a must for the team at Hey Moon Collective. Subtle secondary animations, creative spot colors, and fluid transitions bring the website to life and provide the user with an elevated experience. The team was careful not to overwhelm, but to improve and emphasize the existing messaging. Multiple tests were run to ensure the perfect user journey: easy and accessible.
