Photos tell the story

Professional lifestyle photographer Miki Duisterhof has a refreshing modern approach to allowing her pictures tell the story without trying too hard. That's not easy to do. Take a look:  www.mikiduisterhof.com.

Watch the new Apple Watch

Apple has not let us down with three "perfectly pitched" commercials for the new watch.  Beautiful cinematography, gorgeous imagery tells the story. No Words Needed. And the editing is not too shabby either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8GtyB3cees

Generation Emoji

Hello, I am Jia the Intern and a junior in high school. I am interested in photography and am currently learning photoshop. Today I will be writing about a print ad that resonates with me. This particular ad is highly relevant because the sad, crying emoji is the focal point, which appeals to younger generations. [...]

Shock Top Promo Tour

A fleet of 20 dapper Shock Top VW Beetles were seen driving in tandem across the US for a promotional tour for their Belgian White Beer which not only has shaken up traditional tastes but traditional advertising.  Makes you wonder what the drivers look like.  

Rethink does exactly that

Canadian ad agency Rethink recently caught our eye when we saw the work they do for Science World. This comes right from the horses' mouth: For the past 12 years we’ve been making science fun by bringing science facts to life in surprising new ways. Through mediums new and old we’ve helped Science World grow [...]

If birds could talk

I think they would be pretty happy with this beautifully designed website for the National Audubon Society http://www.audubon.org/.  Stunning photography.  

We’ll take some credit.

This is a first since we normally don't feature our own work on our blog, but what the hey! I think my partner deserves a spot here for the logo he created for the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation CREATIVE PlACES which will highlight where recognized artists and writers are living or have lived within [...]

Give it up for CRP.

CRP specializes in custom package design that packs a punch.  This full service creative agency wowed me with how they incorporated their package design into their Holiday Gift Ideas blog. http://crpkg.com/2014/12/crps-2014-holiday-gift-guide/

Don’t make me think!

http://www1.nyc.gov/ really nailed it in designing a site that works for YOU!  Tons of really valuable information that is easy to find. Navigation is a breeze. What a great resource and fun to use.

Logo Recognition

Nicely designed logo for three "outposts"of the same restaurant owned by the Mario Batali Restaurant Group.  Logo evokes feeling of the warm decor of the restaurants, kind of pubish, kind of bistro on the slightly upscale side.

TV commercial that works.

Delta Airlines "No Bag Left Behind" :60 spot hits a home run for me.  Another case where pictures tell the story and immediately capture the interest of the viewer with a clear straight forward message.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WamBmVrIUQ

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Hog Island Oysters

My new favorite website that tells the story and so much more! hogislandoysters.com. This is the handbook for Oyster lovers.

E-Commerce never looked so good

http://snowfinelskiwear.co.uk/ Makes you want to learn how to ski just so you can buy their clothes. Beautiful example of how to keep it simple and show off all of the gorgeous details.

Is the L train F*cked.com

The message could not be more direct and to the point.  Depending on the time of day you log onto the site, you will get either a YUP or NOPE answer.

I am a new fan based strictly on this website sweetgreen.com.  What a masterpiece for design, and content!

Here a chick, there a chick…
