Print design: Recent project for LA Phil

Modern Classical / Print — key to reaching top donors

We recently designed a print invitation for the L.A. Philharmonic's All-Affiliates Gala slated for Feb. 1, 2026 at downtown L.A's Jonathan Club. Philharmonic Council, Advisory Board members and upper level donors ($15,000+ per year) received the invitation by mail. Our team also designed digital versions of the invitation for the LA Phil's website and e-newsletters for patrons. From event treasurer Ellen Perkins: "The printed design is wonderful! We received some generous sponsorships from members of the LA Phil Board of Directors and members of Philharmonic Council after they received the mailed invitation. Thank you again, Emilie, for your wonderful design skills!" Creative direction and graphic design: Emilie Pallos, Emilie Pallos Design, Glendale, CA Digital pre-press and post-production: Tom Ferguson Digital printing: Minuteman Press, Glendale, CA Our team has more than 25 years of experience producing high-quality, effective, classic design for clients.

In Memory of Roger... for Mother's Day

Tennis Cat / Design Cat / Angel Cat

A true "velcro kitty." Roger was our best feline friend here in the Design Studio for 15 years, and my mom’s faithful companion during her last months in 2010. A sleek mini-panther, he was rescued from the middle of a busy street in Burbank, California, by two ladies who staffed a local pet shop. Roger would have made an excellent barn cat — the Rancho equestrian neighborhood is nearby — if we had not adopted him as our Design Cat. The iconic Gayer-Anderson Cat in the British Museum's Egyptian galleries bears a striking resemblance to Roger. How did he get the name Roger?... Answer: legendary tennis player Roger Federer! Our Roger loved to glide across the kitchen floor chasing a tennis ball or other toy, or leap onto the counter or living room mantle when no-one was looking… He was fleet of foot and had an abundance of charm, style and athletic grace. And his purr was the best! When we visited Wimbledon, the iconic home of tennis, we brought back several mini tennis balls — much to Roger’s delight! Roger Nov. 24, 2009 – Feb. 11, 2025 Rest in peace, sweet boy. Keep Mom company. We love you both always. ❤️
