The first is Apparel and Footwear companies. For these brands we make seasonal graphic collections, perform trending research, build marketing materials, and fill in the gaps where needed.

What’s your brand story for the upcoming season? Is it one inspired by ancient Japanese Samurai? Perhaps it’s a seasonal collection that pays homage to the traditional Hawaiian surfer? Maybe you need a point man to orchestrate your hand-picked creative circus?
The following examples have set the stage for developing Marketing Materials and Product. With a knack for Story Telling they've worked to keep Photographers, Illustrators, Marketing Managers, and Head Honchos in the know. They open discussions, invite debate and lead to the occasional Cage Match. All this, of course, before the budget goes flying out the window.

Trend Report: X is Everywhere
Want your brand to look deep, sophisticated, simplistic, yet thoughtful. If so, avoid the Hipster Logo Design Epidemic at all costs. Sad to report - Its roots are here in Portland, Ore. Arrows, gotham type, and the color black are covering the city. One color design and negative space are everywhere. Targeted industries include bistros, bike shops, boutiques, barbershops and most things starting with the letter B. It's a trend people and it's scary.
I'd like to thank friend Silas Beebe for opening my eyes to this issue. Below are some resources to further educate yourself. Together we can overcome.
