Two from MHamilton Designs

Noteworthy and Life Through a Lens are just two of the shops under the umbrella of MHamilton Designs. Noteworthy uses illustrations, patterns, variable color palettes and discerning typography to work together creating often whimsical and pleasing designs. Life Through a Lens focuses on MHamilton's creativity as a photographer. Both contain effective options for business products.

A Baby Boutique Business Cards employs typography that is appropriate for a business dealing with babies. The polka dot and striped patterns are playful which further integrates effectively with the typeface.



Cupcakes call to mind playfulness and Noteworthy has certainly used that in this business card and binder for a Bakery Boutique. The pink, black and green are a contemporary color palette and the juxtaposition of the damask pattern next to a more modern polka dot pattern. The typography on the binder's spine is an exceptional addition.


This Nightclub Bartender business card rings of a chic, upscale establishment. The reflection of the business name adds some fun. The zebra pattern adds a bit of funk and like the drink, its cosmopolitan. Pink and black always add a light-hearted, modern air.
This Day Spa business card takes advantage of at first, what looks like a simple flower, however on closer inspection it is revealed that part of the flower is made up of stones used in massage. The green and beige color palette is restful, entirely appropriate for a spa.

Mixing a fun polka-dot pattern with a loose illustration of a cake matches the feel of the business. That is further emphasized by the Joker Wild typeface used for the business name.
A classic simplicity radiates from this Contemporary Boutique business card. The feminine background is reminiscent of textiles and it is subtle enough to call attention to the frame holding the business information.
An adorable illustration of a butterfly taking off from a garden of flowers adds an unexpected touch to this Chic boutique business card. There is an implication of freedom, playfulness and beauty. The typeface is an excellent choice as it mimics the curls of the flowers below.
A dramatic image of a fork and knife from her shop, Life Through a Lens, becomes a versatile image for any type of upscale restaurant or food service business. The simplicity, position and subtle coloring of the typography draws ones eye to the tines of the fork making a striking photograph even more successful.
A Bridal Boutique business card that uses a lovely image of a bride and her diaphanous veil. The image is effective in the way it points to the name and company information. The horizontal lines behind the name pick up the flow of the veil giving the card a cohesive look.

A Day Spa | Massage Therapy business card that uses a perfect image for a spa. The texture is like bamboo or a natural fiber, often seen in these establishments. The typeface is simple and clean, which ties in well with the image.

The business products from Noteworthy and Life Through a Lens employ excellent imagery and typography. Both shops contain much more business solutions as well as other outstanding paper goods and gifts.
