Love this web takeover by Quaker! The animation in the 300×250 ad introduces all new products and the call to action is clear. I also like the interactive bar at the top that expands for larger product shots. The click through takes the user right to Facebook to learn more about the ingredients in each package.

I can’t read anything on Murmure’s website because it’s all in French but these business cards are awesome! I assume they’re screenprinted on tiny concrete slabs and have an emboss on the back. Love the texture and  would love to get ahold of one of these!

Happy to share santosmcleese.com is live! I worked on the web portion of this project and my partner in crime Ron Villegas designed all the branding materials. He created a nice mark using curved lines in the middle of the circle containing both the S (for santos) and the M (for mcleese). Read what Stefanie (client) has to say about it here.

These. Are. Awesome. View more on the AAF Dallas YouTube page.

Great way of introducing a new identity. This video for Western University shows why it’s important for a brand to have a clear voice. From Brand New.

Portfolio envy! Love this website, mostly the use of web typography and the work speaks for itself. A few samples:

At Weber Shandwick, we have a ‘Making A Difference’ awards program recognizing the unique and generous pro-bono work from offices all across the world. This year, our Corporate office asked us to help them integrate the awards program through the corporate holiday card. I came up with a concept that was a holiday snowglobe that featured landmarks from each of the winning regions. This idea seemed easy at first but finding 7 landmarks and making them balance in the architectural mashup proved to be very difficult. The pieces finally fell into place and I started developing to animation and website. You can check it out here or view the screenshots below! Happy Holidays everybody!

Self explanatory. Great work by Brent Couchman.

I was finally in town to attend the Etsy Jingle Bash in Dallas! I made a few Christmas purchases but was mostly inspired by all the selected vendors to update my shop. There were a handful of designers selling prints (things I was interested) and others selling a variety from soap, purses and jewelry, etc… I talked to Shay and her husband Jeff of beethings who I met when I interned at Fossil. Below are a few purchases I made and also some fun business cards to admire.
