It’s the paradox of 21st century design: Just when it seems that almost anything is possible, everything has already been done. 2 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Minimalism? Yawn. Long live ideas! Spray-paint graphics? The 2011 AIGA Minnesota Design Show is a salute to the best ideas and the designers who thought them up, fought for them and brought them to life. While it features a bevy of beautiful work, it isn’t a beauty contest. Or a showcase for the trend du jour. The winning ideas do more than just look good. They move us, inspire us, challenge us, confound us, and above all make us say, Way past the expiration date. Silhouettes? Done to death, came back as zombies, killed again. 3D projection? Fossil evidence proves the dinosaurs found it derivative. A robot unicorn that shoots rainbow lasers out of its eyes? Already an iPhone app. While the world has never seemed more cynical and less welcoming to new ideas, it’s never needed them more. “ Damn, I wish I’d thought of that.” Introduction | 3 Judges Michael Lejeune Creative Director, Metro (the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority) www.metro.net Metro’s 30-person Creative Services group creates all things visual for the nation’s third-largest transit agency, including advertising, wayfinding and environmental graphics, timetables, maps, fare media and customer information, bus and rail fleet design, website and mobile data, and merchandising. Metro’s design work has received more than 80 awards since 2002 — including recognition from the American Public Transit Association (APTA), Fast Company, Communication Arts, Creative Review, Print, STEP Inside Design and HOW magazines — and is also included in the national archives of AIGA and several design anthologies. Metro also has received an international ReBrand 100 award. Michael is a past president of AIGA’s Los Angeles chapter. He has had the opportunity to tell the Metro story at design conferences and gatherings all around the country. 4 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Petrula Vrontikis Principal, Vrontikis Design Office www.35k.com Petrula Vrontikis has been a leading voice in graphic design and design education communities for more than 20 years.

Category Mike Perry Mike Perry Studio www.mikeperrystudio.com Brian Jacobs Founder and Creative Director, Brick Design www.bricksf.com Brian is a 1991 graduate of the University of Cincinnati College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning. Brian began his career in New York City working for a number of design firms including Carla Hall Design Group. He moved to San Francisco to join Pentagram Design, and after two years was made an Associate Partner. In 1999, as a response to growing technological demands, Brian directed a group that concentrated solely on interactive design. Brian started Brick Design in 2007. Brick has evolved into a multidisciplinary design firm, with an approach reflected in a client list that ranges from the technology industry of Apple, Microsoft, and Nikon, to the educational field of The University of Southern California and to the hospitality division of One & Only Resorts. Other clients include Cannon Design, Muzak, United Airlines, Potlatch Paper, Café Mia Gelateria, and Home Depot. Brian’s work has garnered numerous awards including AIGA 365, IDSA IDEA awards, ID Magazine, Graphis, and CA Design Annual among others. He recently served as president of AIGA San Francisco and spearheaded the 2003 Grown in California design competition. Mike Perry works in Brooklyn making books, magazines, newspapers, clothing, drawings, paintings, illustrations and teaching whenever possible. American Craft said “Mike Perry’s compendium of hand-drawn type points to the continued relevance of the human touch in modern communication.” His first book titled Hand Job published by Princeton Architectural Press hit bookshelves in 2006. His second book titled Over & Over was released fall 2008. Perry is currently working on two new books. In 2007 he started a magazine called Untitled that explores his current interests. The first issue came out Summer 2010. He has worked with clients from Apple, New York Times, Dwell magazine, Target, Urban Outfitters, eMusic, and Nike. He was chosen as one of Step magazine’s “30 under 30” in 2004, a “groundbreaking illustrator” by Computer Arts Projects magazine in 2007, received New Visual Artist award from Print magazine in 2008, and the ADC Young Guns 6. Doodling away night and day, Perry creates new typefaces and sundry graphics, exercising the great belief that the generating of piles is the sincerest form of creative process. His work has been shown around the world including a recent solo show in Minneapolis titled “Lost in the Discovery of what Shapes the Mind.” Judges | 5 Colle + McVoy People For Bikes Corporate Identity Judge’s Choice Purpose of the work: The Bikes Belong Coalition is a national bike advocacy group that has a goal of putting more people on bikes more often. Our charge was to create a national movement with the clout necessary to influence lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to increase funding for better cycling infrastructure. In order for us to reach our goal, we needed to create a brand that appealed to all types of cyclists, both casual and hardcore. By creating a brand that represented cyclists as a whole, we would be able to get the support we need to positively influence future legislation for bike funding and help encourage more people to ride more often. Currently, cycling is experiencing a resurgence. Whether it’s higher fuel costs, a desire to help curb our carbon footprint or just to live healthier, more people seem to be returning to two wheels for transportation. One of the key challenges we have to overcome with this campaign is the somewhat negative stigma attached to bike movements such as Critical Mass. In order for us to reach our goal of a million names of support, we needed to portray biking as something anyone and everyone should do without alienating our core group of cycling enthusiasts.

While working on another project for Schwinn, the creative team came up with an idea to promote Schwinn during the holidays and give bikes to kids in need. They presented it to the Schwinn team, who bought it enthusiastically. If there would have been a brief, it might have included something about creating a campaign that would stand out from the mountains of clutter clogging people’s attention spans during the holidays.

Known for offbeat portraits of the American fringes, the artist asked for something different than the typical photobook or the typical contemporary art catalogue, specifically something friendly, honest, and accessible, emphasizing his humor and quirkiness. During our typographic research we came across a DIY, simple-living magazine called “The Mother Earth News” which we referenced for the general layout of the cover. Filling in the magazine’s DIY how-to ads with Soth related content, we created a cover that also acts as a cryptic table of contents, introducing the reader to the variety of Soth’s subject matter, and giving an immediate impression of his perspective on America. In another attempt at making the book accessible, and a nod to the fact that Soth is both a fine artist and a freelance commercial photographer, we printed the artist’s studio address, email address, and phone number on the cover, for better or worse. The cover is cloth bound, featuring four colors of foil stamps. The interior of the book features excerpts from Soth’s popular blog, screen-printed on red paper, and an artist’s book embedded in the inside back cover. Graphic Designer: Emmet Byrne Client: Walker Art Center 10 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Print Judge’s Choice | 11 Werner Design Werks Epicurean Cutting Boards Judge’s Choice 12 | Purpose of the work: Epicurean is well known and respected for their high quality cutting boards. They wanted to expand their offering to include printed boards that might be used for serving as much as cutting. They wanted to have boards that were appealing, use-specific and charming. We designed a set of four boards to be kitchen-safe for the separate prep of meat, fish, poultry and fruit/vegetables. They wanted another board that could be considered a little more masculine so we went for a straightforward homage to chopping with a collection of knives. They hope the new boards are exciting to existing retailers as well as garnering new accounts in a giftable market. Art Director: Sharon Werner Illustrators: Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss Client: Epicurean AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Miscellaneous Judge’s Choice | 13 The Idea People Have Spoken People’s Choice 14 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Designers always have a point of view, and the 2011 People’s Choice Award gave everyone in attendance at the opening reception a chance to weigh in on the best of the best. Category Ballots were cast, votes were tallied and a clear favorite emerged. In addition to their creative block trophies and recognition on the design show website, the design team behind the winning idea will have their names added to a traveling trophy engraved with the names of past winners. | 15 Studio On Fire Golden Rule Poster People’s Choice 16 Purpose of the work: A father son collaboration, this poster was initially created for the Poster Offensive show (held each election year). Rising above the political fray, all elements are hand drawn by Koen (age 6) with a Sharpie marker at the dining room table, then arranged digitally. The type is the “Golden Rule” as penned in the honest hand of a child, showing that maybe what we learned in kindergarten is most important after all.

We needed to elevate our marketing in a way that not only married the sophistication of the company, but empowered those it engaged. Our new master brand strategy moved us away from selling the club and transitioned into sellingthe unprecedented people and programs that help our members reach their goals. The result is branding that is honest, confident, inspiring and timeless; featuring a new look, copy tone, tagline, photography style, and desire to create innovative marketing.

LeadmanTri is not only a new event. It creates a new category in the sport of triathlon. The epic race length of 250 kilometers, over 155 total miles, is longer than even the world-famous ironman. The name is an offshoot of a series of epically difficult endurance races based in leadville, colorado. Our problem was two-fold: build instant name recognition and tie into the equity in the existing cousin athletic events in leadville. The design inspiration also had to do with trying to find a visual connection to our Life Time master brand. The result was the iconic brand of the LeadmanTri and the touchpoints of distance, challange and respect.

It needed to carry messaging, say drinks at a glance and feel well designed and avoid the common stigma that sustainable design is brown or burlap. It needed to feel modern and elegant. This Paperless Poster was produced for AIGA Minnesota’s Sustainability Program—reDesign. It had to communicate sustainability while simultaneously grabbing attention. This Paperless Poster screen-printed on location with non-toxic, water-based inks, looks more elegant on a coffee shop, restaurant 22 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 or store window than a taped piece of paper and yet with less waste and fewer impressions we gained more attention, drawing our largest crowd of the season. The speaker, who is an eco marketing group was so impressed they now offer it as a service, so it spoke to them. Creative Director: Craig A Johnson Graphic Designer: Hunter Marcks Print | Student Work Allison Goebel Detroit Answers Purpose: The poster series was created to raise public awareness and motivate action to end the rape kit testing backlog that exists in Detroit. In the past 7 years, tens of thousands of untested sexual assault kits have been discovered in storage in police departments and laboratories across the nation. In cities that have taken the measures necessary to eliminate their backlogs, such as Los Angeles, public support was vital to their success. Detroit, however, has yet to implement a plan to eliminate their estimated 16,000 rape kit backlog. The residents of Detroit must act to raise the funds and legislative pressure necessary to create change and provide answers to thousands of waiting victims. Designer: Allison Goebel Winning Entries | 23 Packaging Angel Bomb Design Worker B Purpose: The client wanted distinctive packaging that set themselves apart from other bee-derived products. Originally, they were open to Sovietinspired worker direction, but through our discussions we decided that a softer approach would be more successful in the body care aisle and considering their audience. The client also wanted to represent different flowers that bees pollinate so we created different illustrations to do so. They loved the treatment of the badge used to differentiate scented and unscented products. 24 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Creative Director: Todd Thyberg Designer: Todd Thyberg Illustrator: Todd Thyberg Photographer: Nate Estenson Miscellaneous Brian Danaher The Antlers Gig Poster Purpose: This three color screen printed gig poster was inspired by The Antler’s album, “Hospice,” a haunting album about a terminally ill patient. Commissioned by the band. Art Director: Brian Danaher Graphic Designer: Brian Danaher Illustrator: Brian Danaher Client: The Antlers Winning Entries | 25 Miscellaneous Brian Danaher What I Ate at the MN State Fair Purpose: A self-promo illustration series depicting everything I ate while attending the MN State Fair. The idea was to promote this new illustration style, create awareness for my work, generate web traffic to my site, and attract potential clients. 26 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Art Director: Brian Danaher Illustrator: Brian Danaher Print Caldrea In-house Design Caldrea 2010 Catalog Purpose: The Caldrea 2011 Catalog is designed to focus on the aromatherapeutic fragrances that define its products. Caldrea makes premium, earth friendly household cleaners in sophisticated fragrances that make them a pleasure to use. The catalog divides the assortment by fragrance and uses color and stepped trim sizes to navigate the 80+ products. Instead of burying the mission of the company in the back pages as before, bold and classic typography on the covers tells the story loud and clear. Typography is used internally to educate the viewer on the category and notes of each scent. This also serves nicely to replace outdated photography that was out of budget to reshoot. Art Directors: Ariel Carter, Carrie Scott Evert Copywriter: Ellen Shaeffer Production: Craig Phillips Photographer: Patrick Fox Printer: Reflections Winning Entries | 27 Branding Capsule Blue Earth Interactive Purpose: Blue Earth Interactive needed to stand out amongst a sea of interactive firms in the Minnesota industry. Capsule first created a compelling identity with movement and meaning. It’s based upon a water molecule, reflecting the name of the firm, but also conveying their emphasis on collaboration with their clients. Capsule then rolled out this identity across a stationery system including highly unique business cards printed on bamboo: sure to make an impact. 28 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Creative Director: Brian Adducci Art Director: Dan Baggenstoss Production: Becca Lindenfelser Account Executive: Kate Kjellberg Client: Blue Earth Interactive Packaging Capsule Schwinn Accessories Packaging Purpose: Schwinn parts and accessories packaging drastically needed a redesign. It was industrial, stale and a little, well, bland. Planning any change to a beloved iconic brand must be carried out with extreme caution, since consumers often don’t respond well to dramatic evolutions. To add to the complexity, packaging carries countless obligations: it must function, inform, respect legal constraints, foster brand synergy, and connect emotionally. This was an opportunity for Capsule to help the market rediscover Schwinn and the joys of riding. We intuitively knew that there was significant potential for us to enliven the packaging and re-excited both loyalists and those new to the brand. Creative Director: Brian Adducci Art Director: Greg Brose Production: Becca Lindenfelser Account Executive: Kate Kjellberg Client: Schwinn Winning Entries | 29 Branding Capsule Red Wing Irish Setter Purpose: Red Wing Irish Setter is a heritage brand with a loyal following. The logo had not been updated for a long time however, and so Red Wing approached Capsule to make it more contemporary. 30 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Creative Director: Brian Adducci Art Director: Dan Baggenstoss Client: Red Wing Shoes Publications Carlson Marketing The Show Book Purpose: Everything produced for The Show reinforced the idea that this advertising competition sparks friendly competition throughout the advertising community and uses the award itself, the pushpin, as the star. The purpose of The Show book is to highlight all of the winning work. To bring some of the interactivity of the online components of The Show to The Show Book, a colorform-esque pushpin, complete with accessories, was tipped in to each book. To increase the bubble-gum color on sections, we substituted neon PMS 4-color process in place of traditional CMYK breaks. Creative Director: Todd Dexter Graphic Designer: Todd Dexter Copywriter: Laura Reilly Illustrators: Jason Nelson, Carl Schultze Production: Joy Himmer, Marc Hortsch, John Lewis Client: Ad Fed Minnesota Winning Entries | 31 Packaging | Student Work Carly Wright Cook It Kitchen Gadgets Purpose: Several popular “As Seen on TV” items were combined into a cohesive product line of kitchen gadgets marketed to college students and young adults. These products were re-branded and packaged as Cook It Kitchen Gadgets and aim to make cooking easy and fun, even if you don’t have your own kitchen. These products could provide students with healthier eating options if they were marketed more successfully. The inspiration behind the design was the products themselves—all really great products, but with horrible packaging. The final re-design was made to be appealing to a target market (college 32 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 students and young adults) that would really benefit from such products. Students often rely on vending machines or pizza delivery as their only option for eating during off-hours when the cafeteria is closed; these products allow for other (and hopefully healthier) meal options. Designer: Carly Wright Production: Carly Wright Copywriter: Carly Wright Interactive Cast Iron Design Company Cast Iron Design Company Website Purpose: The goal for the Cast Iron Design Company website was to create a web presence that would reflect the quality of our work, express and promote our environmental philosophy, and do so in a friendly and welcoming way. To appeal to our audience we wanted to appear both professional and approachable. Since environmentalism can often come off as condescending, stuffy, or preachy we focused on maintaining a downto-earth vibe. One of our goals for the website was to create a resource for other designers by sharing the knowledge and information gained during the process of starting and maintaining an environmentally responsible design studio. Developer: Richard Roche Graphic Designers: Richard Roche, Jonathan Black Illustrator: Jonathan Black Website: www.castirondesign.com Winning Entries | 33 Branding christiansen : creative Hello the House Identity Purpose: Hello the House was a small start up in a community with several existing staging and interior services. The client wanted her personality to come through and show people that she would be fun and friendly to work with on a large range of projects. The identity came from the idea of staging a home ñ or framing it to how you always pictured it to be. A home should be personal and full of character. The logo uses a frame element and typography that is human and lovely. We came up with a tagline that fit the business owner and helped reinforce 34 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 that this is a very human service. Creating the interior space in which you exist (which is not perfect, ever) hence the slightly askew logo. Creative Director: Tricia Christiansen Client: Hello the House Branding christiansen : creative Reality Remixed Logo Purpose: Event logo for the 2010 Deluxe Knowledge Exchange Expo Reality Remixed. The Rr icon represented old and new views, different generations and personalities coming together to express their voices.

After brainstorming with the rest of our department, I decided to go with typography basically built out of objects associated (both literally and through innuendo) with sex. I hand drew everything with pen and colored it in with a bright eye catching palette. I then added some hand written type at the top and bottom of the design. The concentration of things and colors abstracted the objects 36 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 themselves and allowed the letterforms to stand out. This made for an “eye-spy” for adults that had people across campus engaged all day.

We also knew that the key offerings of RBFF’s main site, TakeMeFishing.org, are elements that made a lot of sense to have on a mobile platform and that these offerings in a mobile form would help our clients in their goals of increasing fishing license and boat registration sales and in increasing fishing and boating participation overall. The key to the mobile site is its easy-to-navigate information.

Tuaca Branding & Identity Purpose: Tuaca was often referred to as the “dustiest bottle on the shelf.” Often misunderstood and mispronounced, the product relied on word of mouth to make it credible. The existing identity and packaging did not accurately communicate flavor cues, convey its Italian heritage or communicate a premium persona. We saw the opportunity to (re) introduce Tuaca by creating an expression that was more energetic and better telegraphed the taste appeal of the product. We focused 44 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 on the intrigue around the taste and name, positioning Tuaca as an advocate for trying new things and becoming more socially adventurous. Creative Director: Alan Colvin Graphic Designers: Kate Gabriel, Nate Hinz Client: Tuaca Packaging Cue, Inc. Tuaca Packaging Purpose: Tuaca was referred to as “the dustiest bottle on the shelf”. Current packaging did not clearly express the product taste, it’s Italian heritage or appeal to a contemporary audience. We took cues from the brand’s heritage and broad taste appeal to design a packaging solution that felt energetic and more premium.

Southern Comfort Branding Purpose: Southern Comfort has been a strong brand for decades, but current target consumers had only limited understanding, or associated the brand with outdated cultural references. We used New Orleans, the birthplace of the brand, as a way to create an authentic connection with consumers. By avoiding the cliches of this unique city, we instead focused on its uniqueness, culture and embrace of the best things old and new. 46 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Creative Director: Alan Colvin Graphic Designer: Paul Sieka Copywriter: Lisa Pemrick Illustrator: Christian Northeast Production: Chris Thomas Client: Southern Comfort Packaging Cue, Inc.

The typical Goldstein Museum patron is more mature. The typical Goldstein exhibitions are from established collections like the Eames, Halston and Russel Wright. The Mao to Now exhibition was a departure from the norm in that it featured contemporary and up-and-coming designers at the forefront of Chinese haute couture. Some of the work in the exhibition was controversial touching on political, environmental and sexual themes. All of 48 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 the work was highly conceptual yet functional in form. In addition to announcing the show to the existing Goldstein audience the poster/mailer was designed to appeal to a younger demographic in an ongoing effort to establish a relationship with the next generation of Goldstein patrons.

The Walker Art Center has long used the WAC Pack, an activity kit filled with questions and games, to help guide children through the museum. After a lot of internal research and development, the newest version of the WAC Pack comprises a selection of three different kits that kids can choose from. For the little artist, the Maker pack teaches about color, shape and line using art projects. For a future writer, the Daydreamer pack focuses on storytelling. And for the next Jacques Cousteau? The Explorer pack is all about the hunt! Art Directors: Nathan Strandberg, Katie Kirk Illustrator: Katie Kirk Client: Walker Art Center Winning Entries | 49 Branding Eight Hour Day Eight Hour Day Stationery Purpose: We created this stationery with the understanding that we would be traveling for a year. Because of this, we kept amounts small and only printed what we felt we needed and what we felt would work best for this “alternative” working style. Instead of a standard letterhead, we opted for a postcard and notecard. We felt this was more mobile and highlighted the idea that we were on the road. We also use a stamp to pinpoint our location on a map on the mailing label. Our new blog was a large part of this 50 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 trip. For us it was a way to record and share our travels. Because of this, we wanted to have something to give people we met along the way, or those people or places we wanted to feature that wasn’t as stuffy as a business card.

Capstone wanted a piece to highlight the collection of historical civil war series produced by their imprint Compass Point Books. The info-graphic design was meant to highlight the wide variety of interesting facts young teens could find in a Capstone book. The civil war theme also provided the perfect opportunity for a two color design. This poster was a departure from the more conservative marketing pieces that we usually produced that generally focused on showing covers of books to drive sales. This was an 52 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 experiment to try something more design-oriented that would show how incredible the contents inside the books were and appeal directly to the children who would be reading each series.

We were tasked to create a new look for Amaze that would match the credibility and their ability to empower young people, so they can make a difference in our diverse world. The inspiration for the design was drawn from the basics of childhood—primary colors and basic shapes. The building blocks of learning for all children, regardless of race, religion, ability or socialeconomic status. As an anti-bullying organization, the universality of the visuals was spot-on.

ORT wanted to illustrate the point that their simple and conservative approach to business helped them make it through the recession. By staying the course and not being distracted during the preceding boom years, ORT was well positioned to not only survive, but thrive. During the last year, they doubled their market share by purchasing failing title offices around the country. 60 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Creative Director: Michael Haug Graphic Designer: Michelle Solie Copywriter: John Andreini Account Executive: Melinda Church Production: Pam Borgman Project Manager: Amy Ambrose Miscellaneous | Student Work Lauren Thorson Galvan Purpose: Galvan Typeface was developed out of the need for a one-stroke typeface that could be easily reproduced on a mechanical vinyl plotter.

The musicians did not have any visual direction for Fever Dream and gave us complete freedom to create the artwork and design. MAP uses traditional jazz instruments, guitar, bass and percussion, to create contemporary free improvisations. Through a series of listening sessions and sharing visual demonstrations with the musicians, we chose to utilize the offset printing process. The outside of the gatefold jacket is inspired by offset 64 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 printing press calibration sheets while the inside explores microscopic abstractions of half-tones.

Packaging Loaf Nest Douglas Quin “Fathom” LP TAIGA records Purpose: Douglas Quin’s Fathom brings together four extended underwater soundscapes— two each from the Arctic and Antarctic. The recordings have been gathered over a period of 15 years, capturing an extraordinary palette of sonic voices, events, spaces, and textures. To the human ear, these soundscapes are haunting and otherworldly; yet they are very much of this world—out of earreach. The tracks are minimally edited and are his first field recordings to be archived in vinyl. In translating the recordings into a visual language an scientific and archival approach was taken that lends itself to early documentation of natural history. All illustrations and essay were created while listening to the recordings while only knowing the locations from which the sounds were documented.

We needed to communicate the idea that bike sharing was fun, easy, and source of civic pride. Our client discussions focused on whether we show how the program works, or how fun of an activity bike sharing can be. We ultimately decided on ìfun.î The inspiration behind the design was to celebrate the Minneapolis community. We did this by enlisting local artists to create representations of favorite local landmarks such as the Walker Sculpture Garden and First Avenue. We combined the original art with playful copy and photography of people riding their Nice Ride bikes. Our client loved just how fun bike sharing was portrayed.

The problem was, we had a lack of projects that were interested in taking a risk or just plain doing something crazy so we made a project that would allow us to do anything we wanted. We knew that the content was going to look intentionally low budget, I wanted to match that style and create a consistent frame for the deliver of that content. I also wanted to make sure that the videos were the primary focus an that there would be minimal distractions. Overall I was inspired work that I had seen that was able to create a simple design that was a no brainer to use. While simple and easy to use were key, we still wanted to have fun with the design.

That’s why when Truvia asked us to revamp their site, we stuck to the beautiful architecture we’d already implemented, and ramped up the design. We added more visual weight with more userfriendly elements and strengthened its expanding social capabilities. Content updates included a significant amount of new recipes, photography, multiple event videos and animations, Celebrity Chef features throughout the site, and creating a new tab system up top that introduced new visual cues to coincide with the tone of their new TV spots. This also flowed through existing pages like the About page, email signup and a flexible feature environment for a new Spoonable product. Along with aesthetic tweaks, we also added a Social Bar below the top navigation to make it easier to 72 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 share recipes and invite friends to join the Truvia group on social networks. We also designed a hub for digital downloads, which included desktop backgrounds and wallpapers that could be used on your Blackberry, Droid or iPhone.

So we created handmade neck cowls that fit the lifestyle of bicyclists in Minneapolisóthe place where Handsome Cycle Co. calls home.

Not offering a lot sizes, variety, styles, etc. So to chance that perception, we decided to show the trade that Andersen was serious about offering more. So we changed the most important Andersen asset… their logo. The logo became the vehicle to deliver very specific product messages, in a way that was innovative and intriguing.

Something that people would want to keep on long after they have read it. So our design idea from the beginning was to design more of a coffee table book than a catalog. Something that folks would want to leave out for others to enjoy. Handsome loved it. We used a ton of vintage photos from their history and heritage so to create a collage that is across multiple pages. The idea being that every time you look at it, you find something different. 76 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Creative Directors: Kent Bishop, Ben Morrison Copywriter: Jesse Erickson Publications | Student Work Rachel Winter Gothic Horror Series Purpose: The class assignment was to create book covers for a series of three related works.

I created a visual narrative that would draw on each character’s complexity and persona. Since these stories have been around for many years, how could I create a cover that would draw in the buyer and create a need for them to choose this version of the book over another? I found inspiration and resources in old medical textbooks and was inspired by collage. Designer: Rachel Winter The answer was to make the book enticing, eye-catching and collectible.

Spunk developed “Welcome to Davis” which through rebranding and nontraditional messages invited the people of Davis and surrounding communities to both view Davis Food Cooperative as a icon among the other icons of the Davis California community and worked on messages that would break down stereotypes of Davis Food Cooperative as just a “hippie” hangout and not a community market that belongs to everyone in the community and where all are WELCOME. All of Spunks rework of the Davis Co-op brand is mindful of it’s history, building and location as a major agricultural center, all the while updating the Davis look to succeed in the future.

The brand had to be distinctive, authentic, warm, approachable, and have a vintage or ìwornî feel to it. It also needed to convey the energy, fun, and whimsy of this industry. The logo needed to convey professionalism and credibility without being too stuffy. It needed to be clean and easy to read without being contemporary. The system needed to be clever and thoughtful, but easy to understand. It needed to be unique and unexpected. It needed to be perfectly imperfect. In addition, the whole brand system needed to work hard and get mileage out of just a few pieces. It also needed to be interchangeable and flexible to grow with the business and change with our needs.

Environmental Graphics Target Target Summer X Games 2010 Purpose: The Target Summer X Games experience integrated the French theme of the Chateau Marmont Hotel throughout all of it’s collateral, bridging the gap between the design pieces and the spaces they reside in. Graphic Designer: Phil Clark Senior Group Manager: Jason Langer Production/Craftsmenship: Nills Rahm Art Buyer/Producer: Stephanie Burns Brand experience created for Target at the Summer X Games held in Los Angeles. The collateral created for Target is seen by the action sports industry including athletes, media and guest. Winning Entries | 91 Miscellaneous Target inHouse School of Thought Logo Purpose: Client discussions were refreshingly brief and open. The task was simply to design the logo for Target’s inHouse creative managers training and development workshops called “inHouse School of Thought” and have fun making it happen. The mark is inspired by the endless doodling done by creative types of all ages and disciplines. The inHouse team logo, designed by Daniel Walls, is placed inside the mind of a highly stylized doodle to symbolize the creative thinking process. 92 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Graphic Designer: Roxanne Bradley Miscellaneous Target Target GiftCard-Space Maze Purpose: The Space Maze design met the objectives by pushing the concept of the traditional GiftCard by creating a maze that let the guest work the tiny glow-in-the-dark ball around the planet to the finish line. It incorporated a fun, youthful look, with bright colors, glow-in-the-dark elements, playful illustration, and an inviting game all in one. Graphic Designer: Alicia Pompei, Courtney Gooch Copywriter: Taydem Wall Production: Sarah Schroeder Illustrator: Don Clark (Invisible Creature) Creative Manager: Ted Halbur Producer: Krista Stensrud Winning Entries | 93 Miscellaneous Target Target Branded Zamboni Purpose: The Target Zamboni was created to raise brand awareness of Target by playing off of the unique shape of both the Zamboni and the Target Shopping Cart. 94 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Graphic Designer: Jon Erickson Copywriter: Andy Thieman Illustrator: John Schreiner/Spectrum Studios Motion Graphics Target Target Grocery TV Purpose: Our brief was to announce that Target is now offering fresh grocery in their stores. It was a big announcement that needed to be noticed, since Target has never had fresh grocery before. And now, you can do your Target shopping and your grocery shopping at the same time, in the same place. And we had one :30 spot to achieve this. The target audience for all Target work is ‘Mom,’ but essentially, this concept had to reach anyone and everyone who needs fresh grocery. So, the target was everyone. Our challenge came on the production end, when the client wanted the concept to be running in a little over a month, which is very ambitious for a 30 second animated spot. We approached the brief in many different ways, but the one thing we wanted to keep in mind was to keep the concept simple. Telling the message in a straightforward, yet creative and entertaining way that people would notice.

The objective was to create awareness and a call to action. These posters, showing local residents helped by the United Way’s programs, were created to inspire volunteering and/or donating money. 96 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Graphic Designer: Amanda Clark Copywriter: Jeff Barbian Print Target Target Back-To-College 2010 Catalog Purpose: We gave the catalog the look and feel of a college campus newspaper, right down to the paper stock. For further authenticity, we hired actual college journalists to write original articles that brought their “expert” perspective. Graphic Designers: Courtney Gooch, Aaron Melander Copywriter: Jeff Barbian Printer: RR Donnelley Production: Tracie Neff Senior Creative Manager: Eric Vermilyea Group Creative Manager: Jason Langer Photographers: RJ Shaughnessy and Target’s in-house photo studio Illustrator: Mike Perry Art Buyer: Christopher Grimes Producer: Katie Robertson Winning Entries | 97 Packaging Teri Firkins The Not-So Invisible Ghost Purpose: She must not be gone now/ for I see her wherever I go The album and corresponding (yet unreleased) screenplay follows the relationship of two illfated lovers. The album art captures two pivotal pieces of the plot, the climax (the locket) and the conclusion, the feeling of being haunted by someone you loved, sensing their presence everywhere despite the reality that the relationship is over. The construction of the album needed to capture the essence of the music, nothing overly 98 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 slick or produced; it was important for the artist that their hands touched every single piece we created. While the screenprinted 12" vinyl needed to be the star (it is how the music was meant to be listened to), a related CD package was created from scrap paper, two simple rubber stamps and colored yarn, staying true to the primary plot elements and requested production techniques. Graphic Designer: Teri Firkins Illustrator: Teri Firkins Print | Student Work The Minnesota Daily 2011 Minnesota Daily Media Kit Purpose: The Minnesota Daily Media Kit has been our sales team’s workhorse for years. It’s 30-some pages of pricing, maps, and dry, legal information meant to drive new and existing clients to advertise with The Daily. The overarching goal was to make it a personal and engaging piece we could leave with clients that would reflect what we were truly all about and what a beneficial experience it is to work with The Daily. To do this, we threw out the old rules and approached it as an editorial showcase rather than a business report. To make the piece personal and engaging, we photographed some of our oldest clients and collected testimonials from them about working with The Daily. We included these, as well as a photo of our friendly-faced president, to shed light on the strong relationships we build with our clients. We abandoned the red that had been used for years and introduced a warm yellow to the color palette and used a simple craft paper cover stock. Art Director: Missy Austin Creative Director: Kate Carlson Graphic Designers: Matt Pabich, Chris Ryan, Dan Erickson Winning Entries | 99 Interactive The Thorburn Group Curious Site Purpose: The papers in this collection are as diverse as our experiences. This site celebrates and inspires the user to create those diverse experiences. We asked ourselves, how do you bring something so tactical and experiential into the digital world. Our answer was The Curious website. 100 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Art Director: Bill Thorburn Graphic Designer: Evan Nagan Website: www.curiouspapers.com Print Walker Art Center Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers Purpose: This catalogue accompanied the exhibition “Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers,” the first retrospective of the artist in the US for over 30 years. In addition to illustrating works within the exhibition, the catalogue also served as a complement to the show, with essays by Klein scholars, texts by Klein himself, and archival photographs of the artist. The challenge of the cover was to find something representative for an artist who’s broad practice made it difficult to nail it down to a particular image or work. Klein was interested in how people experienced art beyond its context in the gallery, how it elicits emotions, physical reactions and multiple interpretations. By stripping away the details on the cover like the title, imprints, and other information, it transforms the book into an abstract object, blurring the distinction publication and a conceptual form, free of (or open to) meaning. Saturating the cover and book edges in International Klein Blue activates the form with its particular ultramarine energy, suggesting how his blue monochromes are experienced. The result is a mysterious blue object that opens to reveal work in wildly various mediums, many of which were precursors to ideas like conceptual art, installation art, performance art, and minimalism. In developing the content of the book, a group of texts by Klein were included, ranging from musings about the concept of kitsch, to the power of silence. A large number of archival images were used throughout the book, and in its own ìAlbumî section, showing Yves Klein in many different situations from parties to performances. Together, all this documentation helped to bring Klein alive within the catalogue, his own voice and physical presence complementing the works in the exhibition. Graphic Designer: Dante Carlos Creative Director: Andrew Blauvelt Winning Entries | 101 Packaging Werner Design Werks Vintage Mocktails Packaging Purpose: The Vintage brand Mocktails are nonalcoholic beverages targeted specifically at women therefore the packaging is deliberately feminine. Available in four tasty flavors, the Mocktails are an alternative to alcoholic drinks or can be used as quick and easy cocktail mix. The patterns and “crest” give flavor cues as well as a sense of fun and sophistication. 102 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Creative Director: Antonella Sacconi (Cott Beverages) Art Director: Sharon Werner Graphic Designers: Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss Print Werner Design Werks Lab Rats Purpose: Lab Rats is a breeding ground for ideas. A place where studies in collaboration between creative minds, cultural scientists and business leaders are ongoing in order to develop and build ideas. This deluxe introduction kit is sent to the “Alpha Rats” (the preeminent participants) and is filled with a variety of items to help stimulate creative thinking and inspire ideas. The brochure booklet is attached to the deluxe kit and is sent out as an independent piece to the standard “Lab Rats” and the “R&D Rats.” Creative Director: Cabell Harris (Work Labs) Art Director: Sharon Werner Graphic Designers: Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss Copywriter: Eric Boyd Winning Entries | 103 Publications Werner Design Werks Bugs by the Numbers Purpose: Because of the success we had with our book Alphabeasties and Other Amazing Types (reprinted 3 times and counting!), an alphabet book featuring animals made of letters, we decided to do a follow-up book that was all bugs and numbers. Still type-focused like our previous book, but this one is all numbers with lots of number facts for curious bug-lovers of all ages. We researched countless facts about bugs and collected the most fascinating number-based facts we could find (a hive of bees can collect 66 pounds of pollen a year! A cockroach can survive for 168 hours without its head!). Each bug is made up of numbers in a typeface that feels appropriate for the bug—spiky Ironwood type for a mosquito, for example—and has a corresponding fact (a bee made of 66s). 104 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Lots of die cuts and gatefolds make turning each page an engaging experience for the reader. This book is for a for slightly older audience (ages 6-12) than that of the Alphabeasties book (ages 3-8) so there’s a larger audience overall for the collection of books. Art Director: Sharon Werner Graphic Designers: Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss Illustrators: Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss, Lori Benoy, Meghan O’Hare Copywriters: Joe Weismann, Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss Publisher: Blue Apple Books Publications Werner Design Werks Alphabeasties Activity Book Purpose: Based on the success of our children’s book, “Alphabeasties and Other Amazing Types,” we’ve created a corresponding activity book. All of the activities are type related in some way, from an r-shaped racetrack maze to fancy letters to color in, and many more. It’s packed full of alphabet fun… and it has over 300 stickers! Art Director: Sharon Werner Graphic Designers: Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss Illustrators: Sharon Werner, Sarah Forss Publisher: Blue Apple Books Winning Entries | 105 Publications YYES 7 Years with Atmosphere and Rhyme Sayers Purpose: Photographer Dan Monick photographed Atmosphere and the Rhyme Sayers for seven years, documenting their rise from an unknown Minneapolis hip-hop collective to one of the most followed and successful independent hiphop acts in the nation. But photographers are terrible editors, and Monick was no exception: we worked closely with him to whittle down the story he was telling and select the most impactful images that would excite die-hard fans and casual newcomers alike. The design itself was merely a framework for showcasing the Rhyme Sayers story and Monick’s images. 106 | AIGA Minnesota Design Show 2011 Graphic Designers: Ron Fleming, Brent Stickels Graphic Designers: Kai Benseon, Andy Lund Production: Leon Catfish Photographer: Dan Monick Additional Design: Dan Monick Godfathered: Bryan Ray Turcotte Editorial Assistance: Roger Gastman Branding ZYDECO design ZYDECO design Image System Purpose: Zydeco Design is a brand strategy and design firm that perfectly balances strategy, relationships and design, so it created an image system that evinces (demonstrates?) its expertise in exceptional brand experiences to clients and prospects. The system celebrates the energetic, harmonious spirit of how Zydeco Design works. Nuanced elements of the interlocking identity are evoked through its dynamic online experience, continue to resonate across the stationery system, and are carried thematically in its presentation materials.
