See our work in action:
MIKE OSBORNE: FLOATING ISLAND
The impetus for Floating Island was a residency awarded to Osborne by the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) in Wendover – a small town situated on the border between Nevada and Utah. We worked with Osborne to create a limited-run publication that was included as part of the exhibition.
BALLET AUSTIN
Ballet Austin brought us in to imagine a campaign for the 2012/13 Season. Combining distinctive line work and typography with beautiful existing assets in simple yet compelling ways, we developed a visual framework that connected viewers with the art form in as immediate a way as possible.
SALTY SOW
Driven by the same folks who started Hopdoddy and Roaring Fork, Salty Sow is a new concept that focuses on a range of indulgent farm-to-market offerings at reasonable prices. We were brought on to design and build a new site that would serve as a precedent for the brand moving forward.
SALINA ART CENTER: SELECTED WORK
Our first project for Salina Art Center came in Spring of 2011, when Ryan Humphrey – famous for his BMX course commissioned by the Brooklyn Museum – was asked to present a solo exhibition of his work in this innovative midwestern space. Our solution was to create a large newsprint piece…
TROPHYOLOGY
Eva Schone is an award-winning Architect who saw an opening in the market for awards that are actually, well, designed. We were tasked with mirroring Eva’s craftsmanship on the medium of the web, something beautiful and innovative, simple, yet immersive. It was a big ask, and we’re pleased with the results.
ZOGOTECH
In the Fall of 2011, we were brought on by Zogotech to do a ground-up rebrand from logo and print materials to website, infographics, top-level messaging strategy, and positioning in the market. After getting to know the company and the product – a business intelligence solution for colleges and universities nationwide…
LORA REYNOLDS GALLERY
Since 2005, Lora Reynolds Gallery has been presenting new work by emerging, mid-career and established artists in a variety of media. Our first project with the gallery was an announcement for Dust Breeds Contempt, a critically acclaimed solo show for New York-based artist Colby Bird in Fall, 2011.
JONES VILLALTA ASSET MANAGEMENT
Jones Villalta is an Austin-based financial firm focused toward both active asset management and long-term mutual fund growth in the Large-Cap sector. In the spring of 2011 we were tasked with a global rebrand to reposition them in the industry after a period of consistent performance and growth.
BALLET AUSTIN iPHONE APP
We were thrilled at the opportunity to design and build Ballet Austin’s first ever foray into mobile: a native iOS app for the 2011/12 Season. The centerpiece of the project is an interactive season spread, taking advantage of every pixel the iPhone retina display has to offer. But the app also includes much, much more.
LEAN ON LAMB
The Tri-Lamb group is a joint initiative between lamb producer organizations from the US, Australia and New Zealand aimed at enhancing the profitability and sustainability of the lamb market in the US. Driven by a clean, food mag aesthetic, we redesigned and rebuilt the website – and the brand – from the ground up.
MINDPOP
MINDPOP is a non-profit organization that facilitates a unique collaboration of educators, arts groups and funders passionate about the impact of creative learning on student success, and focused on broad, systemic change. The challenge: create a website and brand to encapsulate that mission, and empower future growth.
NATURESWEET
Partnering with PR Firm Fleishman-Hillard, what.it.is designed the official 2010 Naturesweet Sustainability Report, and followed this with auxilary promotional pieces that coincided with the effort. We are excited about the results, and thrilled to work with a company so committed to sustainability.
JUSTINE’S BRASSERIE
Famous for their sprawling parties and incredible French bistro cuisine, Justine’s Brasserie is one of Austin’s most popular east-side haunts. Charged with delivering a website to entice, indulge, and even offend, we did our best to capture the spirit and the style of this incredible restaurant experience.
5×7 2011
In May, 2011, Austin’s most celebrated art benefit made its return to 700 Congress Avenue. We were tasked with recapturing the glitz and the glamor of the event in it’s 12th year running, and in response we developed an identity for the 2011 installment that felt like a party, like a real occasion.
