Added Officialness
Got a few press sheets of the business cards we designed for our store and they turned out really nice! It probably sounds ridiculous since we've been running the store for almost six months now (time flies), but having business cards somehow makes things seem more official.
On the front side we foiled the logo black on 100# black stock. On the information side we chose to print with pearl foil. There was some concern about whether the pearl would have enough contrast on black stock because it's a little translucent and the type is so thin, but I think it turned out great. It gave us the subtle quality we were looking for, without being overly metallic or shiny looking.

Just Start Typing!(Internal News)
A little backstory into our new site...
When I was first hired on as a designer for the then named, Hornall Anderson Design Works, the first thing I really wanted to do was redo the old website. It was tired and dated in that it did not at all represent what the interactive team has become over the past couple of years, in terms if aesthetics, user experience, technologically, nor did it meet the very necessary requirement of easy update-ability for a design firm as large as us (100+ people now!). It also did a poor job of representing the most well-known segment of our business, identity development.
A little more than 6 months ago, with those challenges in mind, we set out to provide ourselves a framework to show off the integrated branding firm—print, interactive, strategy—that Hornall Anderson is today. We finally launched the site a few days ago, and I think we achieved our goals. There's plenty of room for it to grow, as the company continues to grows, not just in size, but capability. So check out he site and just start typing!

SkyQ
For the past year or so, I've had the pleasure of working on a project for the Space Needle, a Seattle landmark. For me, this was one of those dream projects where I got to be involved with almost all types of design, including interactive, industrial, environmental, and even a little bit of identity.
The goal of the project was to extend the 360 degree view of Seattle for visitors by use of an engaging interactive experience. The interactive team which I am a part of, at Hornall Anderson here in Seattle, came up with five experiences.
