So, I designed a tattoo the other day for a friend just like many others in the past and I thought I’ll never see that ink on skin. To my surprise I was sent the above image. Frank Adair, the single Southeast Region’s 2009 Employee of the Year got it done. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not packing my bags to head to Miami to tattoo the South Beach crowd but it is pretty cool to know someone committed to a lifetime of art I designed.

Thanks to Ryan Davis for this very well designed suite of collateral for H2 Realty. Unfortunately he's moving on - to serve as a web developer for a local bank. We wish him the best!
The cards came in and look great! Client was very pleased and couldn't wait to pick them up. Hopefully the website will be up and running soon and we can send them to recruit the best rockstars out there!
Still warm from the presses… Above: Chase Morrow and Scott Travis’ IT Rockstars brochures are designed to mimic a cd jewel case. The design direction on this brand took an interesting turn when we married the idea of a techy IT person with a rockstar attitude (symbolizing their talent level). Yeah it’s a little tongue and check but it has played out very well. The business cards are designed to look like backstage passes and the slogans like “Caught Doing Lines of Code” speak for themselves.

Designed by Jeff Dungan from Dungan Nequette Architects these stools are made here locally in Alabama out of old reclaimed beams. The design is a simple and clean approach to a very useful piece of furniture as it rests like a piece of sculpture on the floor. To buy or learn more please go to www.traceryinteriors.com.
You might call it a personal logo or even a custom monogram, but either way it’s another example of a custom design that you HAVE to like. We were asked to design our first tattoo this week. I’m not in the usual practice of doing this but I thought I’d give it a try. Tell me what you think…
The influence of design is everywhere. Our society’s actions, behaviors and decisions are influenced daily by design and most are habits from our subconscious mind. There are forms, colors, shapes, fonts etc. that quietly stimulate our senses without most even knowing it. For example, good print design catches your eye, which compels you to further investigate the content, which hopefully leads you to something enlightening, product design influences your decision to purchase, environmental design can influence the mood of your surroundings, architecture can mean the difference between an average day and a truly memorable experience. Great design in any arena can stimulate the emotions as well as the rational mind. The design disciplines mentioned above all differ in how they are created and brought to fruition, but they all share a common purpose and that’s to improve a person’s quality of life.
I thought I’d share a few labels designs we’ve been working on in collaboration with Markham Bailey Digital. If you haven’t heard they’ve got a new piece of equipment that doesn’t require plates or dyes and the color images look great! They are soon to be online at www.markhambaileydigital.com
On the road back from our meeting with CLC in the snow and this lovely sculpture drove by... Its the little things that entertain us.
