Info: Working with one of the Art Directors Club's 2006 Young Guns has been great. Anytime a client still has the unbridled enthusiasm Eva did about her site and identity system, it makes a truely rewarding process. We created a beautiful site that incorporates some of the eccentric and quirky qualities of this young photographer's work.
