SOME SAY. The power of effective design work should not be overlooked. Now more than ever, design has a huge opportunity to prove itself as a company’s most valuable consumer touch point. Many factors influence a final product and it is important to recognize the significance of a successful design because it is the beginning of all effective visual communications. The Creative Bar has won numerous national design awards for clients of all sizes and budgets and prides itself on providing excellent design to the client which will allow a company to stand apart from its competition.

2. Ergonomic Comfort Design (ECD)
At Ergonomic Comfort Design (ECD) we could not agree more with this excellent statement. As the pace of change quickens in office technology and workers spend more and more hours sitting in front of a computer monitor, repetitive stress injuries are increasing at an alarming rate. From a species of “hunters and gatherers” we call homo sapiens, we are quickly becozming a species of “hunters and peckers” called homocomputerist But ECD, over the past decade has worked closely with ergonomists, physical therapists, risk managers and health and safety consultants to create seating products that are part of the solution, not part of the problem. ECD was one of the first to put seat sliders on chairs, width and height adjustable arms, thoracic support in the back cushions, memory foam in the seat cushions, and one of the first to offer petite and large scale sized chairs for the smaller and larger workers.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON SITS? • The skin begins to react to gravity • The fat and muscles under the Ischia slowly move out from under the Ischia • The skin under the Ischia becomes thinner, this is called “core down” • The longer the person remains seated, the more pronounced this condition becomes
WHY? Most chairs in the market are simply designed poorly. Improper concave back shapes giving no thoracic support, very little or too much lumbar support, seat pans that do not adjust, and hard seat cushion foam that quickly causes burning sensations.
SIT HAPPENS It has been documented that 70% of the office workforce sits all day. Our bodies unfortunately, are not designed to sit. This 70% has the most problems with neck, shoulder and back pain.
BOTTOM LEFT TO RIGHT 4. ICON Dynamics 5. YMCA – Red & Black Ball
The sacrum and coccyx The thighs The fat and muscles surround the bony structures
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A PERSON SITS? • Ischial brusae thicken to provide a cushion below the bone and very importantly as a result of the tissue damage caused by shear force, prostaglandin E2 is released, first locally and then systematically • This is a chemical which contributes to depression, fatigue and sluggish reflexes • Since pressure inhibits blood flow, the tissue immediately around the blood vessels thickens to help keep them open • Lactic acid concentrates in the muscles (no oxygen) • Water builds up in the subcutaneous tissues (under the skin)
THORACIC SUPPORT ECD’s Quest, Vive’ and Trudeau series are standard with thoracic back foam as well as memory foam seats. Thoracic foam is now optional on ECD’s other series. It fits between the user’s shoulder blades and supports the mid to upper back properly.
Six years ago ECD perfected a new seat cushion comprised of soft “Memory Foam” and a high density foam core. This combination gives our Quest, Vive’ and Trudeau series the most comfortable “sit” while stabilizing the pelvic girdle. Our Convex thoracic foam correctly positions the users head over their shoulders and hips.
Contact ECD for the name and phone number of the representative nearest you to try out these truly incredible sitting office chairs. You will FEEL the DIFFERENCE.

PRO ARMOR SHOOT
DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY
The Creative Bar assisted its client, Pro Armor, in researching potential Southern California events targeted at prospective customers and identified the US Open of Surfing to share similar demographics with an attendance of over 500,000 people. The price for sponsorship and booth space was not in the marketing budget for Pro Armor so the company hired a photographer and models for one day to walk about the event handing out business cards and taking pictures with event guests. The cards directed them to Pro Armor’s website where they could view pictures from the event, sign up for the company newsletter and obtain discounts for products available online. The following day Pro Armor received approximately 10,000 hits to its website. By thinking outside of the box, The Creative Bar and its client, Pro Armor, were able to work with a minimal budget and receive the same success (if not more) as if they had fully participated with a booth at the event.
Continental East Development (CED), a real estate development company, acquired Antelope Square with the goal to transform this once empty shopping center in to one of the most visited sites in the area. CED hired The Creative Bar for website creation, creative design, marketing and public relations in order to gain exposure within the local and regional community.
T O P
With The Creative Bar’s guidance, CED became involved in the surrounding Chamber of Commerces in order to promote the shopping center to various members of the community. A survey was sent out and distributed to guests at events and online in order to determine the needs of its potential customers. The Creative Bar created a media campaign to promote new tenants and generate interest in the shopping center by using its media relationships to secure competitive advertising rates and ensure coverage in local publications.
