For the novel "Ghost Ship" by Lori Townsend, Johanna did a pastel painting of a ship enveloped by ghostly mists and clouds, in an ink-dark night, on an eery roiling sea. The thriller depicts reporter Zilla Gillette who investigates the human trafficking of young girls and boys who have been abducted and carried by a vessel at sea to a hidden location.

Johanna used her painting, done in 2008 to symbolize the commencement of Obama's presidency, for the cover of the novel "American Home Wrecker" by Lori Townsend. 

The book is a depiction of the white supremacist underworld in America, as well as a look at domestic violence investigated by reporter Zilla Gillette.

For the cover design she ripped the art apart to simulate what the "home wreckers" in the book have attempted to do– divide America, abolish what our first African American president had accomplished, and to create tumult in America.

In celebration of the anniversary of jazz great Dizzy Gillespie's 100th birthday, author David G. Brown wrote "Shadowing Dizzy Gillespie" which chronicled his intimate and memorable experiences with this magical musician.  He needed a cover. Result: Johanna's illustration of balloon cheeked Dizzy depicts the spot lights of performing with the author in his shadow.

Pastel illustration by Johanna to accompany an article she wrote about baking for the MSFA Massachusetts Specialty Newsletter.
Excerpt: “The sun was slanting thru the crisp white curtains of the compact kitchen– a scent of wild rose from the blossoming bush outside the window was perfuming the air as the breeze blew in– but the scent of cake baking in the oven was the star. My mother was singing “la de da...” as she whipped up a 7 Minute Frosting to ice the impending cake as we all hovered and waited in anticipation to lick the beaters..."

Johanna traveled to Cuba on a rare cultural tour hosted by famed American Ballet Theatre principal José Carreno to explore the arts, dance, music, and colors of his native country- Cuba.

Anniversary Campaign design

Welch & Forbes, financial advisors are still cruisin' since 1838.

Delectable packaging

 A hard-working baker needed affordable packaging to accommodate her line of dairy-free desserts.
We designed simple wraps for her standard containers utilizing her desired brand colors and image.
She made the New York Times!

Book cover

2  men's lives changed forever one fateful evening when an argument on an

interstate highway ended in a crossbow killing by a respected deacon.
The compelling story is told in the book "Deacon's Crossbow" 

by David G. Brown.
BOHOY DESIGN was commissioned to design the cover and utilized a haunting cross of light to depict the subject.

Fruitations label design, Bohoy Design

New England Cranberry Co. introduced FRUITATIONS, an all natural beverage flavor enhancer with label designs by BOHOY DESIGN.

The vibrant colors match the fruit on the outside and the fruit concentrate on the inside. At a glance you know that you'll be tasting refreshing cranberry, grapefruit, or tangerine with just a splash. Not just in summer but all year long!

Meetings

 

We've had many.  

Some productive; some not. 

Some fun-filled; some not.  

Cups are de rigueur along with pen and paper and here are some that sport logos we have designed for various clients. [plus a hat and pad].

Meeting's adjourned.

Fall gift of the earth

New England Maple Company distributed by Boyajian, Inc. bottles up the gift of the maple trees-- pure, rich dark amber maple syrup prized by chefs & food connoisseurs for the aroma, flavor, and texture.

Bohoy Design designed the label employing an elegant and simple stream of syrup touched with a glow of metallic "maple."

Rise up

Chef Yves B. is the soufflé expert.

He's been whipping them up in copper bowls since he was 14 on l'ile de Re on the coast of France. Now a world class chef, he decided to share his expertise and package up his wonderful no fail soufflés for the masses.

Bohoy Design created his "mischievous" logo and designed the packages for 5 flavors- from sweet to savory. His soufflés rise and Bohoy Design rose to the occasion.

A perfect recipe.

Pastry in a package

Mom makes the best apple pie and chocolate chip cookies, but when it comes to pastry- Cassis Bakery's, made by Chef Dimitri, are the best. Miniature works of art.

They came to Bohoy Design in need of a package to sell their melt-in-the-mouth Macaroons and ethnic Russian Potatoes. The final design- an economical clamshell box with a diecut sleeve, color-coded to the product and logo. Mmmm.

Simple request.

Just as each snowflake is unique-- so is each of our clients. We work from large corporations to small startups; complex projects to simple requests.
My Grandma's of New England needed a snowflake to put on their holiday coffee cake tins but couldn't find one that would work, so Bohoy Design created one.
Simple- but not so simple.

The company Women on the Move "takes the trauma out of moving" by customizing a move, from packing and unpacking to selecting a reliable moving company.

That helped put them on the move.

Packaged Tropical Treats

Bohoy Design designed the logo and look of client AVSI's frozen mousse & pies made from tropical mango, guava & pomegranate. They needed to be branded
and packaged to get into the marketplace. It did the job.
