The Solutions line is pitched at an audience that does a lot of workhorse design—in-house design teams, corporate materials, projects on a budget. We wanted to provide a teaching guide, but also to inspire these designers and printers to think outside the box, to see how the same (and often mundane) source material can actually be made to sing if one looks at it in new ways. Make lemonade out of lemons. Anyone who receives this should think, Wow, I want to do something like that for my next printed—whether it's a stock choice, a printing method, or the design solution itself—and keep it on their prized print sample shelf.
The promotion's storyline focuses on practical issues of creativity: How do we come up with design solutions? What are the different ways to tackle a design problem? How can we jigger the creative process to yield unexpected and interesting results?
We selected ten images from various sources and then intuitively sequenced them without too much thought. Part of the challenge here was to use imagery we might be limited to if we were working in-house without much of a photo budget. This meant using stock imagery and avoiding a generic look and feel. (This was actually more challenging than we initially thought.)
We then assembled a 16-page image sequence from the 10 images that would be repeated identically 3 times in the promotion. Next, we gave the sequence to 3 writers who each wrote to the sequence—one in story form, one in dialog form, and one a six word memoir—and came up with wildly disparate interpretations. We uniquely visualized each of their takes, while still maintaining the same image layout throughout all three sequences. It's sort of the Run Lola Run or Groundhog Day paper promo—we always start in the same place, but the three outcomes are different, showing the different ways one could approach a design problem with the same source material.
Experimenting with watercolors. Not very happy with how it came out, but it was only a first attempt. Haven't done watercolors since high school. 20 years, ouch.
This is my son Elijah when he was 11.
just testing out my editing skills on GIMP. BTW, I also wanted know how you like the custom made mohawk. C&C is welcome ;)

Mohawk Gas Station, Sunset District, San Francisco CA
"One of the last truly old gas stations in San Francisco, dating from the years around World War I. Built of brownish-orange brick, with just a single island for service, it's been a long time since they dispensed gasoline"
Taken at Lake Mohawk in Tippah County, Mississippi over Memorial Day weekend in May 2010. Used a Nikon D5000, processed JPG file in PaintShop Pro X3.

My son (this little guy) was showing his cousin how to pose whenever I'm taking photos of them....he says, "Just look into the camera like this....and don't smile". He seemed to be playing up that mohawk. This was taken on the dock of a bay in Pensacola, Florida.
His natural look with his natural mohawk. I didn't do anything to it for the photo. That's Teddy through and through.
Driving logs on the Mohawk River near mouth of Mill Creek, 1899
In Louis Polley's book he labels them as L-R: "Whistling Rufus Mathers, Charley Adams with peavey, Ed Hadley, Sherman Adams driving team and Wash Adams with maul over shoulder".
Before Booth-Kelly and the Southern Pacific railroad, floating logs out on the rivers was the primary way to transport logs to the mills. Drives normally ran from 3 to 10 million board feet per drive.
Before 1888, the logs were usually piled in the river all year and then floated out as the winter rains raised the water to a level that the logs would float. They had booms across the Mohawk and McKenzie at key checkpoints and at the mills. In 1886 and 1887 the river never got high enough to float the logs, so they began building splash dams. So far we have identified over a dozen dams on the Mohawk system and there may have been over 20 through the years.
Given the water level and the way the logs are scattered this appears to be in the splash dam era. After each 'flush' the crew would need to use horse teams and peaveys to get all the logs back into the main portion of the stream before the next flush.
Louis Polley notes in his book that his copy of this picture was labeled by Washington Adams as being taken on the Mohawk near the mouth of Mill creek in 1899. and alludes that this drive may be from the Adams place to the Columbus Cole mill (which was located where the Marcola Christian Church is today).
This was the year (May 1899) when the first splash dam was built on the Mohawk (funded by Columbus Cole for a Mr. Stryker) just upstream from the current town of Mabel.
In the early 1890s Columbus Cole's mill cut railroad ties (as well as several other mills in the valley) for the Springfield/Woodburn railroad line that was being built at that time. Later his mill cut all the lumber to build the original mill, town and camps in Wendling.
