Curiously Curious with Ken Carbone

Another way to fuel the creative process. This video Curiously Curious from Ken Carbone at Carbone Smolan Agency is his take on keeping a journal/sketchbook.

Cole Veterinary Logo

When opening their new veterinary practice, Cole Veterinary needed a logo that would work across multiple media. They wanted it to 1. have an icon - a happy healthy pet 2. read easily embroidered on scrubs, on their website, signage, print ads 3. include the neighborhood location. The final logo has been implemented across all their materials and the office has had a very successful opening and business has been building even quicker than anticipated.

The HOW design conference in Austin, last week, was full of inspirational speakers, the newest from printers, photo houses, paper mills and software developers. Some of the highlights were:

• Keynote speaker Rob Walker, NY Times, author of Buying In.

• Making Ideas Happen in the Creative World with Scott Belsky of Behance.

• Information Design Disssected with Jenn & Ken Visocky O'Grady

• Write More Good Copy Wayne Geyer

• The creators of Hoops & Yoyo, Mike Adair & Bob Holt were a hoot.

I even had time for a little photo safari one evening before sunset. Austin certainly has a cool vibe with lots to explore and inspire.

New postage regulations for addressing mailings

If you are sending out newsletters, bound printed material like magazines; there are new address placement standards from the post office. Exact USPS instructions can be found in Postal Bulletin 22252. If you don't want to wade through this document we can take care of it as part of the design process here at Jude Studios.
