Every once in awhile we get some ants in our pants and we create something just to create. That is partially the case with our new online surf shop Recycled Surf. After spending a combined billion hours looking through all the knick knacks on Craigslist we decided to create a site that specialized in just one product, used surf boards. We had a quick brain storming session & got to work & in a few days the site was up & functioning. We have a few kinks to work out but if you have a surf, skim or kite board for sale, throw it up on the site for FREE. We are also interested in feedback on how we can make the site better so fire those off to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it as well please.
Every year I make my mom a card for Mother's Day. This year I have put two designs together in one PDF for you to download, print and give to your Mom. You can find the file under the downloads section on the top menu under 'fun stuff'.
Being a designer, I feel rewarded for my efforts when I get to hold the product in my hand after production. A 3D comp can sometimes pacify that craving. These Lemi Shine comps are of the new 12oz bottle with shrink sleeve labeling.
Brock Pest Control owner Tim Brock asked us to create his new billboards & phone book ads. Our very own Eric Darnell had a good time daydreaming about his days scorching bugs with a magnifying glass as a lad. It was in a moment of total clarity that E Rock sat up at his desk and said "I've got it", "Let's face it, bugs are just creepy!" That they are Eric, that they are.
How many business expo's have you been to where the main attraction was Elvis? Not many I suppose, but the Panama City Beach Business Expo brought him back from the dead just long enough entertain the masses at this years event. We were on hand to make sure our long time clients, Coastal Elite, had their booth in order & to shoot the event as a favor to all the local companies who work hard year round.
Hold onto your labradoodle Mrs. Margo! When project flycycle buzzes your neighborhood this year your pooch better be on a short leash. You'll hear em' comin!
We build websites by the gross and we usually wouldn't describe the build out process as "whimsical". However our latest website has been a lot of fun because of all the little people we have had running around the studio. Oopsie Daisy Boutique has tapped us to create a new branding package and website for them and we couldn't be more excited. We are four shoots in and all of our models have been so much fun to work with. Stay tuned for a sneak peak at the site and possibly a discount code for some kids clothes!
Mission statements are often bull$#it. Let's get real here for a moment; a mission statement is merely a goal of what a company wants to become. If your mission statement begins with the phrase "we strive to"... this basically says to me that you're going to try to... but you might not. In stead of writing a mission statement, develop a company philosophy based on who your company is today; not what you want your company to become tomorrow.
At FreshInk, 'we do good things' has become a general company philosophy. We do good things in the design world. We do good things in our community. We do good things for the people we work with. We do good things for the environment. We even do good things for our compeditors.
