This page: "Conceptualized, produced and launched before September 11, this ad was understandably almost pulled afterwards. But to the client's surprise and delight, hundreds of letters came pouring in praising its patriotic spirit, which of course, was unintentional. Running in national magazines and newspapers, it was one of those fluke ideas that was conceptualized within seconds, sold within minutes, produced within days, and now, will live forever." Kevin Thoem, art director; Brett Compton, writer; AI Jackson, associate creative director; David Waldorf, photographer. Ritz-Carlton magazine ad . "Because The Ritz-Carlton wanted to bolster its image as a contemporary brand, this ad required a contemporary look. Enter the photography of Jim Erickson . Shot on location in Hawaii and the Caribbean, the shots are the essence of this magazine campaign, where ' image' is the focus. The role of both the copy and the art direction was simply to 'enhance by staying out of the way.'" Bart Clevelandrrammy Anderson/Rick Bryson, art directors; AI Jackson, writer.

Great Ideas on Limited Budgets Left: "Kultbox Records, an independent label, needed an inexpensive, unique promotional piece to promote a live music event titled ' 16 Style: and to use as a music art list promotion" said designer/writer Kent Henderson of Chicago, Illinois-based Fuzemine Design Group. "Simple-an event called '16 Style' deserved sixteen graphical treatments. Initially, sixteen different 4 X 5 black-and-white flyers were produced with the event information on the front side and a single, designed image on the back. We decided to compile them and reprint all the images together as a poster. Newsprint was chosen because it fits the aesthetics of the iconography itself." This page: " Blue Q called on us to update the packaging for a line of soap called 'Voo 000,'" said partner David Bates. " In order for a brand to have a pronounced shelf presence. it must be both semantically and graphically engaging . Since the client's primary audience is young and hip, we favored con cepts of a suggestive and humorous nature. Two-color ink was allowed to overprint in certain areas, giving the impression of 3-colors." Mike Calkins, art director; Ryan Jacobs, designer/ illustrator; BC Design Inc. (Seattle, Washington), design firm. International Flavors & Fragrances CTFA invitation. " Working with a limited budget, we wanted to create an invitation that had high impact and would generate excitement around this annual trade event in Boca Raton," said Jeff Kenyon of New York City-based Powell. "The rejuvenation of spring was the inspiration behind the design. The invitation itself can be folded into a box that becomes a decorative element or can be turned upside down to hold a potted flower." Neil Powell, designer/creative director/illustrator; Rachel Powell, writer; Carol Brys, client.
