FINDINGSI was reading a magazine the other day and noticed that OLAY has a new logo. Not sure when the new logo was introduced.
GRAPHIC DESIGN New poster series by the talented Mr. Jeter. “These posters promote and celebrate sex, and in being funny and raucous, they also give a more positive association with the whole experience.”
FINDINGS Just went to L.A. over the weekend and got a chance to finally check out Opening Ceremony. I definitely recommend everyone go to check it out just to experience the retail space. The store is “a sprawling space of hallways and separate rooms, the shop’s inspiration stems from the experience of driving the L.A. freeways. Also featured is a new concept of boutique shopping: Branded shop-in-shop’s within Opening Ceremony L.A.’s second-floor “Mini-Mall.” Individual brands have created their own atmosphere and individual retail environments.”
GRAPHIC DESIGN Check out the strong portfolio of this young rising star. He’s only 21 years old and has worked with Michael Beirut, published a book, and started a non-profit organization. Makes me want to work harder!
