PIXEL & PAPER | CREATIVE PROJECTS IN DESIGN, ILLUSTRATION & CRAFT

Welcome to Pixel & Paper — a blog where I share creative design projects from Beal Design. It’s where I share what I’m working on — whether I’m refining a website layout, carving a new piece, or experimenting with watercolours. I write about the process, the tools, the challenges, and the small wins that come from working with both pixels and pine. This blog is part workshop, part sketchbook, and part conversation with anyone who values thoughtful, well-made things.

Clarity. Communicate one concept.

Logo Design

Designed with a focus on clarity, this logo communicates one concept: the global world of aquaculture. The fish‑formed globe reflects the international scope and biological foundation of Jamie Gaskill’s consulting work, creating a simple, direct mark that’s instantly understood.

Wayfinding and Sign Design

Wayfinding Sign Design

To help people interact with their environment, you need clear, consistent signs. The potential value of signs goes beyond identity and navigation. Signs provide opportunities to establish a mood and transform a flat dull space into a fresh, memorable place with character.

Food-Product Packaging

Customers are drawn, more than anything, to products that look good. Something that is well designed and interesting is bound to attract more potential customers than a product that is poorly designed and looks bland. This is the importance of packaging design.
