Screen Printed Inspiration

We came across the gigposters.com site today. So creatively inspiring!

4 Years Old and All Grown Up

This month marks our fourth birthday — what can seem like an eternity in small business years. In fact, it’s flown by for us! Time does fly when you’re having fun, and we’re fortunate to be working with clients today that have been with us since the beginning as well as many new ones.

A lot happened at Studio 22 HQ in 2009.

  • Leaving the bustle (and expensive parking) of the city, we moved the office to a rural town where mid-day hikes are a reality.
  • We gained a Traffic Manager, Sue Mathias, to help our schedule run more smoothly and to serve our clients better.
  • Our work was published in a book about green design and also earned awards for sustainability reports, annual reports, brochures, and retail merchandising.
  • Adding a Copywriter, Carolyn Maddock, expanded our service offerings to get clients’ content into fighting shape.
  • We overhauled our own website design, development and content — and got to see what it’s like to be the client on the latter two!
  • And last but not least, we welcomed Brit Shoaf to the team as our new designer, increasing our ability to crank out the good stuff!

We’ve set new intentions for 2010 around the words
GIVE
PASSION
and
FORWARD

Stay tuned as we set out on the journey to fulfill them.

Visual Diversion

By now, most of us are familiar with word clouds. Right? Okay, maybe not, but there is a site on the web where you can create and customize your own in a few minutes. It’s called Wordle and you should check it out. I played around with text from our home page today for a mid-afternoon visual break and some inspiration.

Here are a few favorites:

Imagine using this to come up with word combinations for product names; or entering your brainstorming notes to see new combinations of phrases for a marketing campaign; or for creating a tagline. Anything that helps you look at something from a new perspective can give you a creative charge.
