MARKSIE'S REMARKS
What is Great Design?

When tasked with creating any type of item adorned with your logo, whether it's a brochure, Web site or even a lapel pin, you have to ask yourself, what makes a design good? Better yet...what makes a design great?

Whether you realize it or not, the design you put forth is a direct representation of you and your company. We take great care in how we present ourselves in our dress, attitude and the way we articulate, so it makes perfect sense that we put just as much, if not more, effort into the design of goal-driven collateral and communication/marketing pieces.

Herberger theater

Spotlight on the Herberger Theater Center...
As Arizonans, we are fortunate to have numerous non-profit organizations that contribute to the greater good of the community in various ways. One such organization that truly stands out in the cultural forum is the Herberger Theater Center. So naturally, we figured we'd jump on the "good deeds" bandwagon and help out in any way we could to help the Herberger help others. That's a hearty helping of goodness. Not to mention, Greg Marks serves on the Board of Directors as the marketing and technology guru.

blog

Did You Know?
More and more people are diving full-force into the blogosphere, as it is becoming more accessible and most definitely more commonplace for the average Joe. Blogs give everyday folks the opportunity to talk about even the most random of events -- perhaps reminiscing about the juicy steak they had at Durant's last week, or the piece of lint they found on the ground that resembled the Virgin Mary. On the flip side, companies can utilize blogs as a resource to communicate to the public in a fast, efficient and effortless way.

The bottom line is, more and more people are breaking through the technological barrier and plugging into this new platform. In fact, according to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, ongoing research suggests that 6 percent of the U.S. adult population has created blogs -- translating to one out of every 20 people. Another 16 percent of U.S. adults are blog readers.

Clearly, the controversy is not whether or not people are catching on to the blog wave, but rather, what constitutes a blog and can it be categorized in any definite terms? That is the question tackled by Michael Conniff, of the Annenberg Center for Communication at USC, in an article titled, "Just what is a blog, anyway?"

The blogging world is permeating both our professional and personal lives, so whether or not you are yourself an active blogger, at the very least you need to stay abreast of new developments to keep up with the pace of an increasingly interactive marketplace. Click here to read the full article.

Katharina Darby

Graphic Designer

You may see a trend forming here, but this column is important to us because our company IS our people, and we're a pretty fun bunch. (At least our parents have told us so, and that's good enough for us.) Well, you'll see. Just read on.

This month we profiled Katharina Darby, one of our highly talented graphic designers, or as she's known around here, "Kat, the highly talented artsy-fartsy chick." A California native, she moved to Arizona in February 2005 with her husband, Bryan, cat named Portia and her Pomeranian named Potter the Great.
