His designs skills are fresh and creative.”

“We used Sketchbox to develop our business identity, from logo, to website, to social media marketing, and printed materials. They are truly a one stop resource and facilitated the process. What makes them really special is the Art Director, Matt Homa. He really listens and grasps what the client wants, creating unique and individual personas for each brand. Branding is critical these days, and Sketchbox delivers. Very highly recommended!!!”

The Farm House Cafe, one of my favorite clients, has had huge success from day one. We worked very closely with them from the start to help develop the brand look and feel. After the logo process, we designed the web site. A fun, interactive site that immerses the user in the rustic, french, and organic style. We shoot all of the photography for them a few times a year so that we can keep the site always feeling fresh and give the user an accurate expectation of what they’ll see when they visit. In this last year, we have made a lot of improvements to the sites overall ease of use and demographic reach. [click to read more…]

You may have seen this some time back, but for the many who haven’t, here it is. This is classic hilarious advertising. It is amazing how effective humor can be when trying to get your message across. The Journal of Advertising mentions that “an estimated 24.4% of prime time television advertising in the U.S. is intended to be humorous.” It also mentions that 55% of advertising research executives believe humor to be superior to non-humor in gaining attention. If you think about it, which commercials in the super bowl are the ones we remember the most? The funny ones! In fact humor in advertising for the super bowl and other large televised events has become a highlight of it’s own. Many viewers admit that sometimes they are more interested in the commercials than the main program. Think about it, they’re actually watching TV FOR the commercials. If that is not a testament to the power of humor, I don’t know what is. So, next time you are thinking of a fresh spin on your next advertising campaign, why not give humor a shot?

We just received 2 awards from the American Design Awards. For those of you that are not familiar with web site awards, the American Design Awards is one of the better, more scrutinizing sites. They don’t just throw anything up there. Which is why I’m pretty happy with the fact that my recent sites biomondegreen.com [...]

Who says “green” can’t be cool? Cool, fun, easy… that was the idea for biomondegreen.com. We worked closely with co-owners Johnny and Nicole Falco to start with an identity system. They wanted something that would invoke the idea of “the ripple effect” with a green spin. I think the finished product speaks for itself. I [...]
