True Success Coaching is all that!

We recently had a chance to catch up with one of our clients, True Success Coaching (www.true-success.com) to find out what they have been up to. Coach Keith Ferrin has been working with one of Microsoft's teams to help prepare for a key speech to be given at one of their yearly meetings. They say that the top fear in the United States is public speaking, #1 in front of death! Death... ? I think we need to get our priorities straight. Keith's proven experience in public speaking and coaching will definitely come as an asset to the team with their upcoming event. I'm sure with a little help, they will be able to survive public speaking... whether they are able to overcome death is another story.

The New Creekside website is Live!

This week, the new website for Creekside Covenant Church (www.eCreekside.com) in Redmond, Washington went live. This completes the branding overhaul for all of their church related materials: program, newsletters, banners/signs, invite cards, brochures, and the website. It was a fun process that really allowed us to dig into what makes their church who they are, and work towards expressing that in all of the visuals that we created. The Pacific Northwest is well known for it's coffee (Starbucks, Stumptown and Tullys) as well as Microsoft roots, but living in the Puget Sound region means so much more. Whether you love the mountains, rivers, lakes, trees, fresh produce, or just a more relaxed pace of life that the Northwest has to offer, Creekside adds to this by bringing a unique vision to it's members encapsulated in their message: 'Authentic Life. Abundant Love. Generous Faith.' If you live in the Redmond, WA area, you should really check them out!

Play Ball!

Play Ball! That phrase that's been heard for well over a hundred years now every spring, signals that the new Major League Baseball season is here. Yes, we know that this has absolutely nothing to do with design, but it has everything to do with better spring/summer weather and good times at the park or relaxing in front of the TV with the crack of the bat and the cheers of the crowds. Here in the Northwest, most of us are Mariners fans, and the team is off to a good start already. A win on Monday, and a close loss last night, we're ready to final see the Mariners in the playoffs for the first time in many years. Go Mariners!!! www.seattlemariners.com

UPDATE (April 7): ok... the Mariners are looking rather POOR this year. After spending a fortune on pitching and trading away our future... we still can't pitch apparently. Nor can we consistently offer run support. 2008 is beginning to look a lot like 2007.
