Details >>> Every modern gentleman can appreciate a well-made beverage. An ode to a seemingly lost era of craft cocktails and bartending artistry, these two introductory guides to historic and popular cocktails created for Ellicott & Co. feature a total of 30 recipe cards for whiskey, gin, and vodka. These simple “decks” are perfect for the home bartender looking for an easy alternative to the overwhelming amount of information in most bartending books.
2. LA Original by 72andSunny
Details >>> The creative culture of LA has been exploding for a number of years—one in six jobs are part of the creative economy. We partnered with Mayor Garcetti and The Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles to stake LA’s claim as the world’s creative capital.
3. Places for People by Almanac
#gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Details >>> The relationship between Places for People staff and those they serve is one of understanding and connection. We partnered with photographer Jay Fram to create a suite of images of staff
and individuals served, communicating the reality of the people who are engaged in this work. Photos are used throughout print and digital communications materials and are paired with personal stories, triumphs, and expertise.
4. WEED WEEK Storefront from VICELAND
Details >>> It’s every marijuana fan’s dream—a store full of WEED. For one month leading up to VICELAND’s Weed Week (like Shark Week but with Weed), vacant storefronts in NYC and LA were completely filled with buds. Along with a customized ATM emitting a cannabis scent, consumers were immersed in the world of Weed Week, sparking conversation and photo ops.
5. Alabama Bicentennial PastPort from Tatum Design
#gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Details >>> The Alabama Bicentennial is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Alabamians to experience the full, unbridled story of our state. We are the brand creators and sole designers for the monumental initiative that will set the tone for the entire statewide celebration – the PastPort book and app. Instead of simply creating a book or app, we have created an immersive brand that allows visitors to personally connect with Alabama history like never before.
