The floor of the movie theater: black turtleneck and leggings with movie
trash hot glued all over.

I was a hotdog at one time in my childhood, but this year I’ll be action
hero MacGruber. My friends and I are currently in talks to
acquire a red Miata.

My best halloween costume is a toss-up between Tinkerbell and the Big Bad Wolf desguised as Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother. Coincidentally, both happened in the same year.
Julie Turner
One year I dressed as American Maid from The Tick. Â Best. Costume. Ever.

The 1992 C.C.Rigg’s Christmas Party at my house in Greenville. It was my
first social since giving birth five weeks earlier, and I do believe Tim
Burke, Jay Coles and I were standing in the driveway when the paperboy
delivered the newspaper the next morning.

The night before my senior thesis was due. The fatigue was nothing compared
to the sense of relief I felt upon completing a semester’s-worth of work!

When I was at the design program at USC, I distinctly remember the night before portfolio review day (aka Armageddon) because it was the end of my first “trial” year as a graphic designer, and I would soon find out if I could continue studying in the program. In other words, the rest of my life hinged on my ability to mount ten pieces of paper in a book. Fortunately, after spending the entire night cutting and pasting, I turned in my portfolio on time and found out the next afternoon that I was accepted to the program and would be “allowed” many more sleepless nights to come.

Determined to use my frequent flier miles, in the Paris airport, where hotels clearly insisted that every chair have arms.

If I could remember that far back, my guess is it wouldn’t be something to
write about publicly!

The all-night ADPi house party at North Myrtle Beach during “first week”
after my freshman year. I left the beach house at o-dark-thirty, snuck into
my parent’s house for a shower without being seen, and went straight to a
job interview with a local bank. Then back to the beach in time to lay out
at 11:00 am!

I’ve pulled more allnighters in my life than I’d ever care for my mother or doctor to know. Most memorable: the time I did two in a row — when after staying up all night to write papers, a boy kidnapped me the next night for a spontaneous trip to a legendary 24-hour restaurant several hours away. I still think that four a.m. “dinner” was worth it.

Probably shouldn’t answer that question. My Mom reads our blog occasionally.
We’ve been counting down for weeks, but it’s finally here: CreateAthon week. This Thursday, we’ll roll up our sleeves, ingest a little too much caffeine, and get creative for ten deserving nonprofits who inspired us this year. As you can see, CreateAthon season is a little like Christmas for some of us.
Here’s the 2011 roster of the nonprofit organizations we selected for CreateAthon this year.
Keely Saye is a talented inbound marketing specialist and we’re happy to have her as a strategic partner. We developed a fresh, distinctive graphic identity that reflects her personality and her style of doing business. We designed a custom logotype and graphic elements: a custom pattern, vertical mark, monogram, color palette and graphic standards. Although 95% of her work is in the digital space (look for her new website soon), we felt that it was important for her to have a business card that would create a lasting impression. We turned to Copper Dog Press that printed each card by hand on a ca. 1900 Chandler & Price platen letterpress. All of this care and attention to detail is evident in the finished product(s) and is reflective of Keely’s work as well. We’re excited to help her launch this new look!
There is a rising consciousness that we are all connected, one to another - human beings, nonprofits, small businesses, corporate America. This blog is devoted to the study of the intersection between people and the thoughtful brands with which they identify.
