Hello

Welcome! I am Kathy McGraw of KMG, a graphic designer, east coast gal transplanted to beautiful southern California/ San Diego. This is some of what inspires me. I like to think of it as a mix of west coast bohemian and east coast folk meets Mumbai meets Paris. I'm drawn to eclectic hand done looks with lots of prints and texture, particularly Indian prints and French style. I love branding, packaging, hand lettering, hand printed designs, block printing, screen printing, letterpress and illustration...

KMG LOGO DESIGN: Intertrade Industries

Intertrade Industries, a thermoforming plastics company in Huntington Beach, California contacted KMG to design a new logo to update and re-brand their existing image. They needed a more contemporary feeling that went with their market, with a font treatment that was more technological. Their original logo was ambiguous and didn’t reflect the plastics industry and what they did. Intertrade Industries also needed to update their outdated color scheme. KMG choose a clean contemporary sans serif font and designed an icon that had the feeling of "plastics" but also had "energy" and conveyed the concept of an idea being introduced to go along with Intertrade's tagline of  “Imagine. Design. Deliver.”  The company wasn’t ready to give up a blue color scheme, so KMG picked two new industrial and more contemporary blues.
