Terri Ann Davis Designs
Terri is a successful ceramic artist who sells in galleries throughout the southwest. She also has a mobile ceramic business called “Desert Mud.” She needed a new website, logo for her gallery market, as well as consulting for securing domains, getting set up with hosting, email, and more.

Logo Inspiration
Terri’s logo was inspired by the quintessential sun motif that she uses on a lot of her desert-themed pieces. The signature is hers which I vectorized and cleaned up. She wanted to highlight the locale of her business because her specialty is southwestern-inspired and sold locally throughout Arizona.
Website Inspiration
All colors were chosen from her popular pieces. My goal was to be able to provide her with a gallery and blog that she could update herself, with training. We incorporated close-ups of her tools, clay, and finished designs throughout. I vectorized one of her bird motifs which she uses frequently and added a bit of motion to it as the user scrolls down the page. Terri, and her studio, are warm, and beautiful inside and out, so I wanted to highlight this on her “About” page. On her social media platforms she will be adding lots of video clips of her process and her work.
Desert Mud Business Cards
Terri has been teaching ceramic hand-building and painting to children and adults for countless years. She is a much-beloved teacher here in the Valley of the Sun. She wanted to differentiate her mobile studio from her personal artist work which was a large motivation to build the website and create a different logo for Terri Ann Davis Designs. That said, both are Terri’s businesses so we wanted them to relate to each other, and yet, be separate.
She hand-painted the Desert Mud poster decades ago and she wanted to keep it. However, there was a LOT more going on in her original poster all over the place that was not suitable to be kept for a logo usage. I vector traced her photo of her original poster, and painstakingly ‘cleaned up’ and fixed all stray colors and marks throughout. The result is that she now has a proper vector file of her painting that we can now resize at will for business cards or even large banners for farmer’s markets.
