We are once again honored to have the work of The Study selected to be featured in a design publication. Print magazine’s Design Annual selected only 5 submissions from Portland to be featured in the Far West category. The work we created for WeMake Celebrates 2014 was chosen. It’s always great to be able to play with and use paper as a way to communicate a story both digitally and in print. Our team designed and built assets for collateral, social media, and a series of stop motion video’s. We loved the results. Thanks Print!
A Magical Unicorn, Piñata, & Pinewood Derby Car
We had a lot of fun making this years entry to the Stumptown 40 Pinewood Derby Race, representing WeMake this year. Our pint sized unicorn was the life of the party and oh so close to winning the most creative, but couldn't quite compete with our friends over at Scout Books who carved a raccoon out of wood! We had a lot of fun anyway and boy was Pierre fast!
Check out the nice write-up by the Oregonian-
“Perez Emerson tipped back her dainty unicorn on wheels (think of a hand-sized Trojan Horse, only with gold glitter and colorful tissue paper fluttering about) and out of the tail-end of the thing came a cascade of rainbow-colored candy.
Laughter ensued at the absurdity. You wouldn’t know the joke was an old one by now, judging by the enthusiasm with which Perez Emerson re-filled Pierre the unicorn with more candy. ”
Squarespace Is Easy, When You Know What You're Doing.
Squarespace is the new Wordpress? For us, it's the preferred platform when our clients want a simple, clean, and easy content management system that costs a fraction of the price of coding from scratch. However, coding still needs to be done! But most importantly functionality, site structure, branding, and clear communication needs to be at the forefront. From there, beautiful graphics, photography, font selection, and color fall into place. People are often mislead by the possibilities of using templates to design something fresh for their brand. All the fancy templates mean nothing if you don't know how to thoughtfully unveil the content, showcase the work, or set a tone for what you're trying to communicate.
We know Squarespace. More importantly, we know how to build a brands personality and take that personality into a website that is thoughtfully designed, technically awesome, and genuinely unique to you.
