My close friend Trever cut my hair into a mohawk to celebrate our attendance of the Coachella Music Festival.
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.

This is the runt of the litter. He's not doing well, poor appetite and very lethargic. He will see the vet later today. He's very sweet despite his expression in this photo. My wife couldn't resist giving him a mohawk after his bath.
These kittens are part of a litter of 5 that were born in an abandoned house nearby. We caught the mother and she's spayed as of 9/11/07. The kittens are weaned now and living in a cage inside our house until we can find homes for them. The mother will be re-released into the neighborhood.
Ah, kilts and bagpipes. Precisely what one expects to see at a college graduation ceremony in the US, half a world away from Scotland. I don't know what a Fraser is, but I suspect the Mohawks didn't (and don't) play bagpipes and wear kilts. That's just a guess, though.
