VOICES
DESIGNERS AND RECOGNITION by Michael Wolff
Awards or being published in a magazine have come to be the most important measure of the quality of designer’s work. Less banal than “did it sell more stuff” or “how much money did we make out of this client”. So “congratulations” is the first thing I always want to say to anyone whose work is honoured by winning an award. It’s an achievement to win recognition for the quality of your work from juries or judges made up of people whose work you admire. Even people with whom, from time to time, you may compete. I was always excited to have my work and my name included with respect, and sometimes even envy, in any selection of excellence by my peers. It always felt like having climbed to some sort of summit – my head clearly seen above the sea of mediocrity. But, and there’s always a “but” for me, the chosen work always had flaws. Flaws that taunted me and always insisted on being noticed. I don’t think flawless work exists any more than flawless people. In life – with a little humility – there’s always the possibility of addressing flaws and correcting them. With work, it’s usually too late. By the time you see the flaws, the work’s been produced. Even a car as sublime as the Citroen DS had flaws, and like every other car, or ad, or brand identity or any piece of work from the world of design, flaws are usually there. Occasionally something like the Red Cross appears – more or less flawless. Or a poster by a “master”, a timeless piece of architecture, a fantastic ad, a breath-taking product or a perfect piece of writing by a great copywriter. These iconic pieces are rare. Why so, when there are so many brilliant and talented people in our wide world of design? I think there are two main reasons. The first is vanity – a deadly state of mind that settles for less by substituting a craving for credit and recognition for simply doing a service. That’s a personal issue. Most people can recognise when they’re drinking from the intoxicating chalice of recognition. The second reason is more serious and profound. I think it’s a flaw in how in the UK, where the design industry has expanded more than anywhere else in the world, and in the US too, the activities of design have slid into the clothes of mediocre and conventional business. Wanting recognition and wealth was the basis for this evolution.
As the design business was born out of the design profession, itself a device for gaining recognition, we believed that being like our clients and being reasonable would somehow validate our effectiveness and we would slide into business life like lawyers and management consultants. What happened then was that we were swept up into the world of process, deadlines and project management. Serious time for thought, reflection and criticism was eroded and design became a day rate affair. In the early days of Wolff Olins we were free to introduce six-week holidays to encourage an “input mentality” beyond reading magazines, to balance what was sometimes an atmosphere of “stressed output”. We encouraged someone to take a three-year course in anthropology, on full pay, so that through this person’s evolution we too would learn more about how people behave in groups. We could afford to attract writers to work for us because an obsession with the visual aspects of design often ignored the power of language. Criticism was not seen as disloyalty, time wasting or sabotage, it was integral to honing a good solution. And it took time, because it often meant “throw it out and start again”. We all know that creativity can take minutes, even seconds, and it can take weeks and months. A moment of insight turned into a creative idea can change the world. Months of mediocre process can produce the emperor’s new clothes – and it often does. The “project management” and pressure to deliver in a conventional, unquestioned time frame, can often blind us to opportunities we need to see. How can we reclaim the creative, artistic, expressive, original and intuitive initiatives that define us as designers, from the grinding, boring, greedy and uninspiring businesses that are subsuming so many of us? Just as with energy and how we use it, and architecture and how we live in it, and money and how we think of it and use it, we have to start all over again. Although awards deserve congratulations, don’t be seduced into thinking everything is fine and rosy. It isn’t. The world needs our insights, our imagination, our thinking and our inspiration to a higher purpose for our clients more that it ever did. Too often, we’re still more pre-occupied with useful things for us – recognition, growing our companies and gaining material wealth – than useful things for the world we live in. The old paradigm is deadening . . . long live a new one.
After training in architecture, working as a product designer, then as an interior designer and as a graphic designer, Michael Wolff decided it was time to start his own company. And in the autumn of 1964, he joined up with Wally Olins in Camden Town, London, and Wolff Olins was born. Under Michael’s creative leadership, Wolff Olins became the foremost European company in ‘corporate identity’ — and one of the most effective branding companies in the world. Among their clients were Audi, Apple (the Beatles, not computers), P&O, Renault, 3i, Pilkington and Volkswagen. He left Wolff Olins in1983 to lead the Addison design company. Clients there included London Underground, The high speed train in Spain, The Barcelona Olympic Games, BP, Jaguar and Shell. Michael now runs Michael Wolff & Company in London, England. Most recent clients have been and are 3i, Mothercare and the Ministry of Sound in the UK – Citibank and Citigroup in the US – and a new bank with no name yet, in Russia.
“I’ve never stuck to one view of what is good in design. My personal goals have always been: to help organizations to express themselves, in their own particular way, for the benefit of anyone with whom they’re involved. And do this in a way that brings value to everyone and to the world that we all share.”

Market Talk
By Brent Dey
Web 2.0 Making MySpace YourSpace
REMEMBER ALL THAT TALK AROUND THE TURN OF THE CENTURY ABOUT THE DOT COM BUST, THE “DOT BOMB” AS IT WAS SO CYNICALLY CALLED? Since banner ads didn’t lead to ridiculously high click-through rates as promised by the over-zealous gurus of the New Economy, the whole Internet was a bust, or so the thinking went. Skeptics who grew up in a print and broadcast world wanted to throw the baby out with the bathwater and wash their hands of the whole online experience. They didn’t succeed. We never would have had a chance to experience the second generation of the World Wide Web, with its social networking sites, wiki (or collaboratively) created applications and pay-what-you-want service sites. In terms of natural progression, Web 2.0 is to the dot com boom what Generation X has been to the baby boom—a lot less iconic maybe, a little more slack, but a whole lot more practical. Those who understand that Web 2.0 is about real connections and genuine relationships are the ones who will build stronger bonds with their customers in the newest “new economy”.
Wiki While you Work The core concept behind Web 2.0 isn’t technical— although XML and RSS feeds have made technical innovations that have fueled its development possible. Web 2.0 refers to the idea that the Internet can be used to give customers a more integral role in the product lifecycle. Open source software lets users enhance applications. Online ratings give users an opportunity to air their opinions and offer feedback, which is sometimes considered in product updates. In short, Web 2.0 is what the Web has always promised to be. But this time, it’s working. Data drives market growth best when users define how that data is used. User-defined or user-managed content works much better than static content dictated by a marketing team. Smart companies like Apple Computer realized this early on. They saw the full potential presented by peerto-peer file sharing sites like Napster and embraced it. The result? Apple became a major player in the music industry overnight while powerhouses like Sony and Warner Brothers were left with warehouses full of overstock crates of CDs.
Face Time on FaceBook Of course, the argument has always been that the Web 2.0 model only works for software and music, products that can be purchased and delivered across a T1 line. But that’s not true. A team of developers has been working on a website for one of America’s oldest retailers that lets homeowners and businesses find and purchase handyman services online. It’s working. The client understands these three key insights about marketing in Web 2.0: • Online relationships work like real-world relationships Forget what you’ve learned from online dating and the sordid world of anonymous chat rooms. Most people building profiles on social networking sites are presenting themselves as they are, warts and all. The handyman site will let users rate the service they buy. The better the ratings, the more business providers will earn. • Web 2.0 should not be a waste of time Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasting, which explains the MySpace phenomenon. Kids soaking up hours perusing profiles are getting something out of the time they’re spending. They’re researching potential friends, boyfriends and girlfriends. Put that useful exploration to work for your company and you’ve got the stickiness that Web 1.0 promised but never delivered. • Not every product needs a social networking component Suffered through any meetings where clients have seriously considered creating a social network to promote stone tiles or hair care products? For a relationship to work, it has to be reciprocal. Both parties must gain something: The advertiser in the form of exposure, the customer in the form of useful information.
of shopkeepers and neighbors sharing talents and opinions. The World Wide Web has just expanded its scale. Web 2.0 has given a lot of power back to the customer, but it’s also helped level the playing field for business. Mom-and-pop shops have been able to latch on to larger networks like eBay to sell their wares. Independent bands and filmmakers have been able to find audiences without major distribution deals through YouTube and MySpace. People are able to make professional connections that would have otherwise been impossible by using sites like LinkedIn. Although these connections occur in what could be the impersonal arena of cyberspace, the good connections are very personable. A MySpace birthday wish from a band or a magazine subscription could have the same effect as a hand-mailed card, but at little cost to the band. And favorable ratings on LinkedIn or other sites can help build trust with customers.
Honesty: Still the Best Policy Perhaps the biggest show of what Web 2.0 could be came this summer when the British rock band Radiohead posted their latest release online on a “pay-what-you-want” basis. At last count, In Rainbows has sold 1.2 million units at an average of $9.00 per transaction, roughly what you would expect to pay to download an album on iTunes, but with all proceeds going directly to the band. There’s been a lot of debate over how well this approach would work for other services, but the handyman site is also using a model where buyers can set their own price. The remarkable thing is that most buyers are offering very fair, reasonable fees for the services they want performed.
Come Together, Right Now There’s a certain irony that social networking would be the craze 40 years after the infamous summer of love. The utopian network of universal like-mindedness that was prophesized back then as the “Age of Aquarius” has turned out to be nothing more than the traditional curbside community
If anything, Web 2.0 is more about the way we collaborate with each other than it is about any specific sort of technology. The good news is, we all seem to be using Web 2.0 to work not only faster, but more honestly as well.

When It’s FREE Through E By Jon Lee Andersen • While thinking about this issue’s article and dancing back and forth among several email accounts, I noticed that at almost every website, I was a winner of something. While most of the “prizes” were junk that had little interest for me, on several of the notices the prize was a new computer, complete with a keyboard, speakers and a monitor. A DELL, no less. Being somewhat skeptical about my good fortune, and remembering my father’s frequent reminder that there are no “free lunches”, I decided to examine the deal more closely. When I finally got to the details surrounding the “free” computer, I learned that I would be signing up for several credit cards, agreeing to transfer balances to these new cards, taking about 10 years of internet service at a price far in excess of my current arrangements, and accepting a lifetime of email on forthcoming special offers.
No question that promotions work just as well in e-commerce as they do in brick and mortar retail establishments. As e-commerce continues to expand and use various technologies and distribution channels, we can expect to see an ever changing parade of new promotions. This little romp prompted me to decide that it might be worthwhile to discuss briefly what the rules and regulations are for advertising offers of this type. The Federal Trade Commission, the “Top Cop” for electronic advertising, in one of its FTC Fact for Business publications addresses the situation straight on. Here are the salient points of the FTC’s policies:
•
•
Where a promotion offer involves a rebate, the advertising must prominently state the before-rebate cost of the item, as well as the amount of the rebate. This is the only way to provide a consumer with the necessary information to analyze an offer and to comparison shop. Requirements to purchase Internet services must also be prominently disclosed. The disclosure should cover the cost of the service, the duration of the required commitment, any penalties or fees associated with early cancellation, any additional connection charges, and whether local internet service is available.
•
•
The components of an offer should match any visual representations of the offer. For example, if the picture of the computer shows the CPU, a monitor, keyboard and speakers, the offer should include all of these components. If it does not, any of the items not included must be described very clearly and prominently. Important information concerning an offer must be conspicuously placed in the advertising. For example, terms about the basic cost of the product must be located near the advertised price. And of course, there are the usual precautions against hiding details in obscure locations, burying them in densely packed lines of fine print or obscuring them in small footnotes. Information concerning details of an offer should also be disclosed on the same electronic page as the offer, not on a pop-up window or in a hyperlink. Where hyperlinks are used, the link should be labeled so that it shows the importance, nature and relevance of the information in the hyperlink, i.e. “Early cancellation of Internet Service resulting in substantial penalties. Click Here.”
And when using hyperlinks, follow these guidelines; 1. Make it obvious. Consumers should be able to tell that they can click on a hyperlink to get more information. 2. Label the link. The hyperlink should give consumers a reason to click on it. That is, the label should make clear that the link is related to a particular advertising claim or product and indicate the nature of the information to be found by clicking on it. 3. Don’t be coy. Some text links may provide no indication about why a claim is qualified or the nature of the disclosure. Although some consumers may understand that there is additional information available, they may have different ideas about the nature of the information and its significance. 4. Don’t be subtle. Asterisks or other symbols by themselves may not be effective. Most of these rules and guidelines are pretty self-evident and should be standard practices for advertisers. However, when planning a promotion, reviewing them is still a good idea. It is also worthwhile to review the terms and conditions applicable to promotions such as games, contests and sweepstakes.
It’s like this: TV, steak knives or squeegee All draw attention when free Just be sure to unveil Every little detail So there’s no “black robed” referee

of her You Tube adventure. Libby is certain viral videos placed on sites such as You Tube can yield positive results. Her team recently shot and edited videos of Vajra Stratigos, beverage director for Atlanta based Fifth Group Restaurants. They portrayed him making cocktails and discussing wine. “We sent out a link on The Dish, our weekly restaurant e-newsletter,” she notes. “Fifth Group then sent out a link on their customer e-blast.

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ONLINE MENU…
WHO’S IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT…
What exactly is it that’s evolving? From social media and blogs, to streaming viral media and pay per click ads, there’s a new menu of tools being used by everyone from musicians to multi-national corporations. The ultimate goal is to interact with fans, prospective and existing customers, etc., to drive messages and sales home. “At its root, social media is about creating relationships between an individual or organization and its audience,” Vining says. “Essentially, we’re breaking down the brick and mortar of an organization and communicating that we’re more
The old marketing paradigm was powered by marketers driving home the message they wanted to create to consumers. King says those days are over. “There’s a big mind shift taking place as consumers are now driving what marketers are doing.” “I remember 15 or 20 years ago, when I was coming up in the industry, I’d send a brochure or do an advertisement that asked a prospect to circle something on the ad,” adds Paul McKeon, president of content generating Content Factor. “Now, people come to you of their own volition. They read about you in blogs and wikis.

Google. They’re a mish mash and they’re ugly, but they’re successful, he believes, because they’re driven by content.
OZ MAGAZINE www.ozonline.tv
AUDIENCE INTERRUPTUS… McKeon likens sales and marketing to bowling. “Marketing sets the pins up,” he says. “Sales knocks them down.” The question is how do you get a prospect to close? He believes it’s all about creating the proper interruption. In traditional television ads, commercials provide some of those interruptions that can engage prospective customers. “How do you interrupt and then engage prospective buyers online,” he asks. E-mail, banner ads, and pay per click ads are a few of the options. Once you’ve engaged the audience, you can have them fill out online forms, read a white paper, etc. “A lot of our clients have long sales cycles. Prospective customers don’t just go online and buy. The question becomes how to communicate back and forth with them to educate them about prospective services.
IF YOU BUILD IT WILL THEY COME… McKeon believes the concept of corporate social media is growing by leaps and bounds. “The Atlanta Falcons have been building an online community of fans to get the fans to do things such as talk to each other, sell tickets or other memorabilia. Perhaps they swap favorite tailgate recipes or parking spaces.” McKeon says there are new software companies that help companies create what he refers to as “just add water” communities. “You buy the piece that comes pre-configured with blogging capabilities, tagging capabilities, rss feeds, etc. In a week or two, you can put together a community structure and invite people to it.” Just because you’ve built it, though, doesn’t mean consumers will respond according to plans. “We built a site for parents of teens,” McKeon offers. “It has good content, and it has a good image. It’s also like pulling teeth to get visitors to join the discussion.” The lack of audience engagement was completely unexpected. “The site allows parents to share personal photos, something few have done. McKeon believes parents don’t want other parents to see them. “The bottom line is that online marketing has a lot of potential, but it’s not always as easy as it looks.” Soft Drink Giants like Sprite are also entering the online fray. Lucky Fish Studios has been working with the brand to build excitement around Sprite “The Yard,” a social community built exclusively for the mobile phone and geared exclusively to teens. The company has not yet launched its campaign in the U.S.
“Teens simply text a number to Sprite,” says Lucky Fish Partner Christopher Wood. Based on the phone being used, Sprite sends back the appropriate phone application. It’s similar to MySpace in that teens can text each other, store pictures, add friends, create parties. “Teens always carry cell phones. Sprite saw the opportunity to get teens interacting with its brand,” he says While the site is clearly Sprite, Wood says it’s not riddled with text that says “go buy a Sprite.” Teens go in the yard, surf around, talk to friends, and perhaps buy a Sprite where they can then redeem an award. “A lot of web based marketing leaves you on the web but Sprite is thinking in terms of both on and offline. They want to lead you to the technology as well as lead you into the store.” Wood believes there are benefits and risks associated with being the first company on the block to use mobile phone marketing in this manner. “Mobile technology isn’t really new,” he says. “It’s just that the technology has caught up and the ability now exists to integrate it more into life. Sprite saw an opportunity, and recognizes they’re out way ahead of the game. They might suffer symptoms associated with pioneering.” Wood has seen some bad press in the U.S., and believes it was probably created by a middle aged person simply not interested in using a phone for marketing. Wood sees the opportunities for cobranding as well. “Say Puma wants to get in and have a section of ‘The Yard.’ The key to success is determining why it makes sense to be there in that medium and how to avoid being nothing more than an interruption.”
THE POWER OF THE BLOG…
television show review blogs to restaurant and corporate commentary, people are expressing themselves. Blogs, as Don Imus discovered, can be powerful. According to McKeon, it was a watchdog blogger who was responsible for publicizing the shock jock’s politically incorrect comments. McKeon says the comment was made on a Tuesday and followed by a blogger for a few days. “On the third day, Imus heard about the blog and apologized. Suddenly, the national news picks up that he apologized for a racial slur. The same blogger blogs the apology and it spun out of control.” In short, a blogger took down a media icon. Of course, given another circumstance, it could have elevated one to more impressive stature, too.
A NEW VENUE FOR VIDEO CONTENT… If you’re feeling overwhelmed, wait, there’s more to come. Lucky Fish is also working with CITN, a company that’s building an interactive, all HD online global network. “There’s been talk of interactive television for a while,” Wood says. “What they’re trying to do is literally replace television content. The company is asking itself what are the interesting relationships made while watching television.” Wood believes CITN can create the scenario where a sports fan can be watching a game, discover more about the individual players, the city in which the game is being played, even the shoes which a particular player is wearing. What we’re doing is creating a relational trail.” And creating room for additional content of all shapes and sizes.
If it seems like there’s a blog for every topic, perhaps that’s because there probably is. From
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED… Given the diverse array of options available, it’s important to note that there is no “one size fits all” solution. The viral video on You Tube that sparks sales for one company may create an embarrassing situation for another. If you’ve got great lists, e-mail marketing could be effective. Bookmarking sites on del.icio.us and letting peers know they’re there may be a good way to share information, but is it how your clients or peers want to work? What benefits might your firm reap from a banner ad or pay per click ad online? Before you re-apportion budgets, draft viral video scripts, contract for social media software, do your research to determine exactly what’s out there. There are companies, for example, that can create viral videos for as little as $500. Or you can spend thousands. The key to success is to ask a number of questions. “There’s a lot to be considered before undertaking any online media effort,” McKeon says. “Ask yourself what you’re trying to accomplish,” King offers. Do you want to generate names, traffic or sales? What best fits your situation? What’s your distribution? Do you have a sales force? Do you generate sales or leads on the web or in person? “I can release 100 ads for the web in the amount of time it takes to get one on the network,” Wood offers. The question is, will those ads accomplish your goals. You’re your approach need to be very specific or do you want to create links that establish ongoing relationships. The tools exist to do as little or as much as your situation warrants. Until you ask questions and determine your online goals and strategies, the answers will be difficult and perhaps costly to find.
GET THEE TO BOOT CAMP… If you’re looking for a new media overview, you may want to research seminar opportunities. The Public Relations Society of America, for example has begun offering New Media PR Bootcamp. According to the organization’s materials, the seminar will offer a comprehensive overview that discusses topics such as: • • • •

Blurring the chalk lines between designer and printer. Story by Phaedra M. Weldon Layout and design, Scott Banks of BadStudio
@E K?< 9<>@EE@E>¿
…there was the designer. Creating on canvas with paint and watercolor, pasting type with wax or spray adhesive, and cutting Rubylith for color separations. Collating their client’s idea into a magnum opus of color and style. Brochures, books, magazines, ads, posters, banners, signs. Each and every work a moment of stylistic grace. And it was good. 24
OZ MAGAZINE www.ozonline.tv
Until the masterpiece was wrenched from their hands, bundled with all its associated parts, packaged within a blank envelope and given over to the most unknown and misunderstood entities in the world of static information.
Not much has changed with signing proofs twenty years later, but the roles of artist and printer have undergone some mighty twists, twists that have forced both sides—printers especially—to take another look at the relationship.
The Printer. (Insert screams of terror here.)
And what has pushed this should-be symbiotic rapport into a new era?
As melodramatic as it may sound, this has been the ongoing and inherited attitude between designer and printer for decades. Very little was offered in the way of coordination and cooperation when it came to creating, receiving and delivering the product. If any aspect of the final render was incorrect or a mistake was caught post-finishing, both sides raised shields and armed photon torpedoes. Unfortunately the printer had a secret weapon hidden within its phaser banks . . . the designer’s signature. The stress most designers face when looking over a printer provided proof rivals the pressure of any corporate position on Wall Street. How can they really be sure everything will go as they envisioned it when all they have is a cream colored proof of their vision with blue type?
The Digital Age. Desktop publishing heralded all sorts of twists and turns, shoving more cogs and wrenches into the wheels of the printing industry. The supposed ease of placing the control of design, color and finishing into the hands of the every-day consumer turned soccer moms and high school students into designers overnight. A plethora of designing applications flooded the market, and the printer was forced to find ways to translate electronic files onto the press. What could the traditional film and flat printer do? Those who couldn’t keep up financially with the changes went out of business. Those who remained learned the new technologies.
Unfortunately the technology outgrew even the designer. Suddenly designers had to understand two different computer platforms, whether it be PC or Mac, the applications required by the printers for output, file formats, scanning technologies, terms such as RIP, DPI and REZ which seemed to change daily as large-scale inkjet printers pushed out screen printing and off-set. Even the types of advertising changed for the designer and printer—keeping an eye on the ever changing patterns in advertising, including the large format print for construction sites, billboards as well as the ever expanding car wrap—both industry positions have a lot to keep up with. Yes. You read that right. Both positions. Nothing makes a stronger product than a well-oiled, symbiotic relationship between printer and designer in the beginning stages. And here in Atlanta, there are printers who have been through the learning lessons and have made strides above and beyond the call in the area of printer/designer relationships.
<OG<I@<E:< @J E<N BEFNC<;>< “You know, we used to have to work a week on a book layout—now we’re down to a day— and six cups of coffee.” In the past ten years, printers have been very much aware of this chasm. Why? Because a large percentage of career printers today started out on the other side of the chalk-drawn line. They have been artists and designers, they have stood inside those early printing companies and sweated those proofs, stood by those sheet-fed and web-fed presses, and they understand both worlds. Many times the experience from being on the outside as well as the inside can help a printer understand the internal financial burdens better.
And these individuals and their companies are a fountain of information readily available to the fresh-faced art school graduate. And though the designers of today haven’t quite grasped the impact such experience and know-how can improve their work in today’s market, printers are making that knowledge as accessible as they can. It’s called Customer Service. “I used to design out of my basement and had a very poor relationship with printers,” said Ben Huber, Vice-President at Graphics Worldwide. Huber, along with Ken Raymond, Graphics Worldwide’s President—who brings over 40 years of printing to the company—have built their traditional off-set company, specializing in high-quality four color and two color brochures, magazines and books, slow and steady. “I discovered that most printers have insufficient prepress operators because of the rising expense of finding someone who knows all the applications needed,” says Huber. Throughout the industry, one of the key growth positions in any printing company has indeed been the prepress operator. Once known as the “stripper” or lithographer, the individual responsible for translating the art boards into film and then “stripping” them onto flats for the printing presses to print, has now gone electronic. Prepress operators have to know the platforms. They have to know the applications designers use (from antiquated files from Microsoft Publisher to the Adobe Creative Suite III). Customer support means talking clients through saving files for the best output, which also requires understanding of computer networking and how an ftp site works. Printers today understand that same knowledge has to be made available to the designer/client in as many ways as possible. And communicated in simple terms. Otherwise the relationship between the two will never improve. Not only are these prepress operators key in the performance of the company, but many times the lifeline between printer and designer.
“Most problems that arise now in print work can be solved with a simple phone call or email,” as Huber summarizes. “Having this experience, I can talk anyone through collecting fonts for output, and give advice on saving layered Photoshop files as an .eps format. Not all designers are going to know that an .eps format can produce a higher quality print resolution, since vector and text layers can RIP at 2400 dpi. That’s the printer’s job to relay that information.” And what the artist/designer and client must understand in today’s industry is that the printer is ready to educate everyone. They are more than willing and able to make the job go as smoothly as possible. “Open, two-way communications is a necessity,” says Linda Coatsworth, who’s been in the industry since 1975. Linda worked as an account representative for three years with Color Reflections, one of Atlanta’s premiere large format digital printers, retired for two years and then came back in a marketing position. “Our motto is slow down, ask and listen to what’s needed. Just as important, we have found that using the team approach, including our own rep/specialists in the initial design stage to explore all avenues, allows the full team to be able to recommend the best options to render the ‘wow’ that the client expects.” Color Reflections opened in 1990 and was the first color photographic lab to offer 24 hour production. The company began in a 3000 square foot facility with three employees and today has grown to 20,000 square feet with 23 employees. Color Reflections continues to offer “firsts” to the community – the first Cruse Camera, the first Durst Lambda, the first multi-function UV printer for both rigid and roll materials, the first HP XL-Jet 16’ solvent printer, and soon another first for fabric printing. Their complete range of products continues to revolutionize the large format imaging market. And in ever improving their customer relationships, Color Reflections has developed its own winning team break down:

CONJURING AN INDUSTRy By James Flynn
Carrollton, GA, probably isn’t the first place that springs to your mind when you think about movie production. Even within the state, the quaint west Georgia town and surrounding Carroll County fail to inspire thoughts of grandeur concerning anything entertainment-related. Yet there is a group of people, growing in number, who hope to firmly entrench the area in the minds of moviemakers and media mavens everywhere. They have drive, determination and dedication to the region, and now they have their calling card. Conjurer, a psychological thriller filmed in and around Carrollton, had its premiere this past November at the grandest of all Georgia venues, the Fox Theater. A screening at one of Georgia’s most recognizable landmarks was only fitting for a movie with such strong roots in the state. Directed and produced by Atlanta native Clint Hutchison, the movie had its beginnings not with a team of creatives, but rather in the minds of a few west Georgia locals, most notably executive producer Richard Mix and associate producer Shay Bentley-Griffin. A Marietta native, Mix is an interesting figure — a businessman who began his career in sales, established the immensely successful portable-toilet company Pit Stop, and then entered the world of film and video production, on the request of a childhood friend who needed someone to put the “business” in his “show business” dreams.
Mix and Bentley-Griffin initially met at a premiere of Mix’s first film Terror Tract in 2000, and they soon began hatching the idea for a west Georgia film industry. “I feel like our film industry is sort of wide-open right now, on a national level as well as on our state level,” said Bentley-Griffin. “Having a film community start to grow in west Georgia and be able to make movies there…there just isn’t anything about that to me that’s not possible.” Still early in the decade, the pair started looking for a project to film in the area that they loved, hoping to establish western Georgia as a region not only for locations in filming, but also as a home base of production. A booster club from the University of West Georgia approached Mix about making a film based
on a school-tragedy-turned-inspiration. It was a project both Mix and Bentley-Griffin were interested in making, and they worked hard to make it happen. After a long period of working frantically to raise money for the film, they realized that the timing just wasn’t right. As much as they wanted to do the project, for the community and for themselves, they weren’t positive they could raise the funds necessary to do the story justice. Mix and Bentley-Griffin went back to their investors with a new idea, a project that might be more feasible monetarily and more appealing to mainstream audiences, and that would still utilize the resources of the area and raise money for the university foundation. The two knew that a thriller would be more marketable worldwide than a drama, and it was a genre Mix had already been successful in having
In 1999 Mix bought a farm in Carrollton, and moved there full-time in 2001, mainly to “avoid the traffic.” He fell in love with the area. Bentley-Griffin was born in California and raised primarily in Georgia, with family in both locations. It was an upbringing that undoubtedly led to her unique career, casting for many projects in Hollywood from the comfort of Georgia. She still owns the family farm just north of Carroll County.

worked on his first feature film Terror Tract with a couple of Georgians who were living in Los Angeles.
that now houses Mix’s Vids Media, among other companies. Carroll Tomorrow felt they had a winner on their hands.
They brought on board Red Five Entertainment, a partnership between native Georgians Clint Hutchison and Lance Dreesen. The pair, who had both attended the University of Georgia, met while working at an Atlanta theater. They went to L.A. to pursue their filmmaking dreams and found some success.
With the support of the local government and schools, production ramped up. Mix would serve as executive producer, while Bentley-Griffin would be an associate producer and handle casting.
The next two grafs need to make clearer who’s who, because you’ve introduced four people in two pairs and the reader can’t follow it. I would use last names, or “the directors” or “Red Five” or “the two Red Fivers” or whatever. Written by Hutchison, and co-directed by the friends, Terror Tract was released as a USA Network television premier in the states and theatrically in parts of Europe, Asia and Latin America. The success of the movie proved that the two could make a commercially viable and audience pleasing film. For Mix, it was a logical choice to work with the two again, so he contacted Hutchison. “They needed a script that could fit the budget and within a certain time frame,” said Hutchison. “Lance and I are both screenwriters, but they needed something fairly quickly.” The pair hunted down a script, and found one from David Yarbrough that fit within the boundaries of the project. Hutchison helped alter a few details, such as moving the location from an urban environment out to a rural setting, leading to a writing credit for the director. The result was Conjurer. The team had their script, director and producer. Now they needed the help of Carroll County. Slater Barr, president and CEO of Carroll Tomorrow, a branch of the local government that works alongside the Chamber of Commerce to promote growth and development in the area, first became involved when Mix approached the Chamber of Commerce about creating a production industry in the area. “When you’re running chambers of commerce and economic development organizations, you have people that come in a couple times of year that are talking about their vision for a new industry for the community. Most of the time, there is absolutely nothing there and that’s the end of it. Richard never went away. He just kept coming back. And the more he talked, the more the pieces of the puzzle started falling into place.” Carroll Tomorrow already had a strong interest in entrepreneurship and startup businesses. Around the same time they were approached by Mix, Carroll Tomorrow was working to fund the Burson Center, an “incubator” for small business
Next, they put together a crew. The team wanted to rely on local talent, both in casting and crewing, as much as possible. “I’m a firm believer that you have to build from within,” said Mix. “The long term viability of our survival hinges upon not bringing people from L.A., not bringing people from North Carolina and elsewhere. We’re always going to have to do that on some level, but we have to build a local talent pool of both cast and crew.” As long as it didn’t affect professionalism, they intended to use locals. When they felt they couldn’t achieve that level locally, they began looking outward, first to in-state talent and then finally out-of-state. The resulting crew was talented and, especially in the case of the Carroll County locals, eager. “They were so committed to this project,” said Hutchison. “There were no jaded crew members. They weren’t just punching a time clock.”
the region, and the central figures are still working towards that goal. Richard Mix’s Vids Media is now running full tilt at the Burson Center, filming commercials and PSAs for the community, and looking into new avenues of revenue. Vids Media wants to expand into a fully integrated media company and it is testing the waters: Print media, radio, billboards, podcasting and Web casting are all on the docket. Video production may still be their “bread and butter,” but Mix knows a successful blend of opportunities can make an industry thrive. Whereas a film might keep a crew on set for a month or two, these new opportunities keep the company humming along week after week. Not that Mix and friends are eliminating films from their repertoire. Red Five Entertainment is bringing another project to the area shortly. A.G.E.N.T.S., a family friendly movie, will be coming to west Georgia in the near future. Dreesen and Hutchison wrote the screenplay, and Dreesen will take the helm as director. Mix and Shay Bentley-Griffin will be back in the fold, continuing to build on the momentum they’ve created. Additionally, Red Five will be bringing part of themselves to Carrollton, permanently. Lance Dreesen is moving back to the area and will establish the Carrollton office of Red Five.
“I’m a firm believer that you have to build from within,” said Mix. “The long term viability of our survival hinges upon not bringing people from L.A., not bringing people from North Carolina and elsewhere. We’re always going to have to do that on some level, but we have to build a local talent pool of both cast and crew.”
The surrounding community was equally supportive. Here was a real live movie being shot on their turf, employing their residents and funded primarily by locals. This was a chance for Carrollton to come together to realize a truly unique vision, and they responded. Conjurer was shot in 24 days. It featured big name actors like John Schneider of Dukes of Hazzard fame, a man who built his name starring as one of the most famous fictional Georgia characters of the past half-century. It featured locals as extras. College interns worked the set. It was truly a Georgia project and even more truly a west Georgia project.
Whether or not Carroll County is ever the first place you think of when it comes to entertainment isn’t really important to these men and women. What is important is that the community believe, that the industry develop, and that the future of the region include a strong and vibrant media presence. The men and women behind Conjurer are making it happen. As in the title of their film, they are weaving a new narrative for west Georgia out of thin air.
The plan may have begun as a dream of bringing a film to Carrollton, but it grew to much more. It became an initiative to create a new industry for

LETTER FROM EL PRESIDENTE
We are a pathetic lot. We kill ourselves to make our clients famous. We do whatever it takes to sell some merchandise, move some goods and goose some sales curves northward, ho! We do it all in comfortable anonymity; like some sleazy stalker lurking in the shadows getting his jollies as the paparazzi incessantly shoots and fawns over the star… the star who is our client’s wares. Pathetic–– our wretched lives. Little wonder so many of us dull the pain with shots of Clorox or hypos of Old English 800 and Kiwi Liquid Shoe Polish. So the Atlanta Addys Awards are a soothing balm to ease our pain. They are recognition of creating work worth celebrating. They are pats on the head from respected leaders in our field. They are honors befitting the pathetic lives we lead. This year, the Addy Award is a Spike. Why a spike? Well, history buffs, way back when Atlanta was called Terminus because this is where the railroad lines ended (or began) connecting us to the rest of the U.S. Well, to wax my poetic, as a railroad spike represents uniting people. The best of our work also unites people. An Addy Spike is a wonderful metaphor for communications that connect people. It also looks cool, has nice heft and can even be a weapon when you wing it at the noggin of some idiot trying to turn your brilliant idea into crap.
Congratulations to all who won this year. The competition was stiff and if you won hardware you are to be commended. Attaboy, attagirl–– you done right good. If you entered and did not win, obviously you were cheated and the judges were bribed and the world is out to get you and frankly you do well just to get out of bed in the morning because obviously the fix is in. Still, you’re a winner to us! Thanks for playing, there’s always next year. One last thing: if you haven’t done so, you should join the Atlanta Ad Club because this is your profession, your community and your life. These are your people and we’re all in this together––the same pathetic schmucks. Join. Enjoy discounts to interesting and informative special events, membership perks galore, lots of fun, and a posse of people who can do your professional world nothing but good! If you don’t do it for yourself, do it for your family. After all, we know where you live. Thanks and enjoy your slice of immortality. Special thanks to Melissa Dayne and Brandi Williams for chairing the Addy Committee and all those who made this year’s event a resounding success. With best wishes and congratulations to all, Patrick Scullin El Presidente, Atlanta Ad Club Ames Scullin O’Haire Advertising
