The KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
Our intern Melinda Taylor just finished this fun little project for our wonderful clients CreateHere. The post-it notes are a motif we have used throughout the brand identity, and when they said they needed something to “cover” their windows during the construction of the new space, we thought we could put this idea to work.
Melinda planned the whole thing with minimal input from us, and then even enlisted her friends to help install it. Even though most volunteers bailed on her at the last moment (shame on you!), she toughed it out with a little help from Casey Yoshida, Heidi Vasterling, Karmon French and Winter Giamportone. We think it is quite cool. See more photos at her Flickr account.
But then, as I started to give Melinda props, I thought it would be worth mentioning the other wonderful folks I work with on a daily or weekly basis and show a wonderful design or two they have done.
Joseph, my right hand man here in the studio, just got the logotype he designed for the Tricycle brand Tryk® into STEP inside design 100 annual. Credit is due of course to Michael Hendrix for his great creative direction and for entering the competition ; )
Joseph was also part of this cool annual report for Allied Arts, but he had great design help from our dear Bradley Dicharry along with a little input from Matt Greenwell and I. The talented Caleb Ludwick contributed his fancy wordsmithing to it as well. This was featured in PRINT’s regional design annual.
Matt Greenwell and I also had this project for the Hunter Museum featured in last year’s HOW design annual — which led to it being published in the book Effective Publications Management.
And I cannot fail to mention our letterpress junkie Evan Holloway, who has not been published yet — not for lack of quality, but only because we have not had enough samples left over to be able to enter into any competitions. Here’s an amazing piece he made for Capitalmark bank under the creative direction of Maycreate’s Brian May. Oh yes, and the talented Bradley designed this one too. But look at that letterpress printing!

The post-its brought to mind a project a client recently asked us to take inspiration from. Check out this link -
