The Best of 2010

According to Creativity, these are the top viewed and shared campaigns from this year. And guess what? #1 is the campaign created by the team coming to Casa Bonita in February - join us, won't you, for an evening of mirth, merriment, and inspiration!

Here's the link to register for the "Old Spice Guys" event.

Facebook vs. Twitter

Very interesting.

Business Card Design Inspiration

Much awesomeness here.

There are a couple cards in the list from Rethink in Canada. We had a judge from that shop for the ADCD Annual Show a couple years back.

ripcord Holiday Card - sometimes it pays to post

Denver agency, ripcord, has developed a Holiday card that crosses different media and leads to a wealth of sharing.

Recipients of the card are able to scan it with their QR reader, or simply head to the ripcord site for a link to the ripcord Facebook page, where they are invited to share a favorite holiday memory, gift, recipe or whatever. One lucky post will be rewarded with a $100 Visa Gift Card, just for participating.

Could you be the one? Follow the links and share some good times!

Tonight :: 11th Annual Print Sale and Party at Matter

11TH PRINT SALE AND PARTY AT MATTER
This Friday, December 10th at 8pm

MATTER Graphic Design - 2134 Market St, Denver, CO 80205

MATTER swings the doors open for the annual PrintSale and Party. New Products, prints, and a small ocean of mojitos. Major shit. Nothing smells better than ink, truth and typography. Denver's Fav DJs will kick it and HOT WHITE will play at MIDNIGHT. Catered by FoodieCall, Dessert by The Shoppe. Black Friday is overrated just like Justin Bieber; Save your money and shop local if you shop at all.

Pantone Speaks, We Listen.

How "HoneySuckle Pink" was chosen to be everywhere.

Target - New Holiday Songs

New holiday soundtrack from Target. Get the album here.

Student Show Correction!

CSU will be accepting entries until Dec. 10th, instead of Dec. 3rd. We repeat, more time to turn your work in! :)

One Club - Best in Digital Ads from the Last Decade

The top 10 groundbreakers are here, along with interviews and back stories from the creative teams.
DIGITAL DECADE

Brave and Depraved

New for Orangina.

Digital Death

For World AIDS Day (today) celebrities are "killing" their Twitter and Facebook accounts in order to raise money for real lives affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India. Stunning idea really.
BUY LIFE

Come one come all! The Art Directors Club of Denver is already bursting at the seams and ready to take on a whole new group of designers for the 7th Annual Paper Fashion Show.  Keep your eyes open for the Call for Entries, end of December - beginning of January.


All proceeds from the event will be donated to Downtown Aurora Visual Arts (DAVA)

DAVA has actively involved thousands of young people in free arts education since 1994, working toward a vision of community arts that includes youth in community cultural development. DAVA supports urban youth by providing free on-site art programs, creative opportunities, and art-based job training, as well as intergenerational outreach through Family Arts and Portable Art school programs.


Xpedx, once again has graciously offered to donate the paper supply to this year's paper fashion as well.  If you or your company are interested in donating to this amazing event, please email info@adcd.com

FAC @ Eye Candy was a rollicking good time

Thanks to Augie and the rest of the Eye Candy folks for graciously opening their shop to all the interested (and interesting) creative types who came down last Friday. We were treated to plenty of food and libations, giveaways and cool art. I love this Club!

Friday Afternoon Creative

Meet Eye Candy Graphics and Augart Design. They are a team of talented designers, printers, artists and fabricators, specialize in large format output and design with an innovative edge.

Their clients are set apart by designs, graphics and signage which range from crisp, clean and formal to zany, funky and mind-blowing (if that's your style). They have a very personal approach to problem-solving, and offer amazing customer service. They also are opening up their facility to ADCD and AIGA's Friday Afternoon Creative on November 19th.

So come. Stop by. And enjoy some delicious digital stylings, oh there will be real food and drinks too. Along with a raffle for tickets to the Art Directors Club of Denver's 7th Annual Paper Fashion Show, a showcase of wearable art. (Have to be present to win!)
