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.

About age 1.
I actually ASKED for a real mohawk when I was about 5 years old (Davy Crockett was big on TV then), and my Dad (always saw the humor in things) obliged me. I was instantly regretting my decision, but he wouldn't shave it off. I suffered through the whole summer that way. I vividly remember walking to and from the pool with my older siblings with my towel over my head out of embarrassment.
Early February,
North of Tulsa, near Mohawk Park's Northern edge.
Elan2e with Circular polarizer + 81a warming filter. Fuji 200.
At the foot of the Brock Monument. Commemorating the participation of John Norton and the Mohawk warriors in repelling an American invasion of Canada during the War of 1812.
Had a Mohawk for a few years actually...been almost a year since I grew it out.
Pain to to maintain.
Had a Hawk in my 20's and could not handle it. Too scared to wear it.
Second time around, didn't bother me and in fact, started a Mohawk trend at the office.
Now people know me as "The guy that used to have a Mohawk." =:-)
MOHAWK names a North America region of copper ores and its reminiscent indigenous people, who fought against rival tribes and were distinguished by their hairstyle.
The strong copper structure of MOHAWK stool and its industrial elements are balanced by a touch of elegance from the shape of the legs and the comfort of the leather seating.
MOHAWK reveals a perfect combination between the strong attitude of the tribes and its stylish hair, for a distinctive ambiance.
