Leighton & Company | visual identity

Leighton O’Connor is a go-getter. As the head honcho at Leighton & Company, Mr. O'Connor represented several Boston area artists and photographers. Because he was meeting creative professionals on a regular basis, he wanted a brand identity that reflected his personality and left a memorable impression. The antique objects featured in Leighton's stationery package were photographed in black and white and made into prints. David Stern, the man behind Able Art, a fixture in Boston's pre-computer advertising industry, applied traditional airbrush retouching to the photographs to provide an authentic retro feel.
