Logo, Branding, Website Development
Unbound Ink
It was a pleasure partnering with Unbound Ink to build a visual home for their new literary journal. We began by crafting an identity that feels both fresh and rooted in tradition—a "modern vintage" aesthetic featuring classic typography and a muted, soulful palette designed to resonate with poets and writers. For their digital presence, we developed a magazine-style WordPress site that balances a high-end reading experience with a backend that’s easy for their team to manage as their collection of work grows.
"Awesome site design! You and John did such an amazing job. "
Visual Identity & Brand Systems
We guided Unbound Ink through a collaborative branding process, refining their logo, typography, and palette until the identity felt exactly right. By pairing sepia tones with a muted, editorial photographic style, we established a visual language that feels both nostalgic and enduring—perfectly tuned for a literary audience that values the craft of the written word.
Website Design & Development
The site was built as a clean, editorial WordPress environment designed to grow alongside the journal. We structured the digital library so that each issue remains distinct, providing readers with an intuitive, seamless way to navigate through poems and essays. From background stories on the founders to a streamlined anonymous submission portal, every element was built to put the focus where it belongs: on the work itself.
Digital Supervision & Performance Management
Biondo Studio provides ongoing technical management for Unbound Ink, overseeing everything from high-performance hosting and domain security to regular maintenance. By handling the "under-the-hood" essentials, we ensure their platform remains fast and stable, allowing the editors to stay focused on what they do best: reading, writing, and curation.
