I joined Rick on a trip to Portland, Maine to visit one of our clients — White Rock Distilleries. The drive was long, but so worth it! We stopped at a few stores from Cabelas to the original L.L. Bean. It was a wonderful experience for any outdoor enthusiast such as myself. I purchased a really cool deer sign and a “Maine made” wind chime as a reminder. We did a lot of walking in Portland and the people were so nice. I loved all of the local designers who are showcased in town. Portland is also a very animal friendly city;  it is not unusual to see dog bowls in front of stores or even a dog behind the checkout counter — another sign that Portland is home to good folks. We even stopped at Kennebunkport on our way home and saw the Bush Compound and the Terminator’s home. This trip really broadened my horizons as a designer and got me out to see and experience new things that I will never forget. I am grateful to have had this opportunity to go visit Maine through 168 and  hope to get back soon to visit and sightsee more… Still on my to do list: eat a Maine lobster while sitting on a moose! to be con’t… PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS.

168 Design is pleased to announce that it will be joining forces with Copy Secure, one of the Delaware valley’s leading legal support firms.  Please click on the logos below for the full press release.

The 168 design team recently recieved the final printed version of the Pennington School Magazine, Spring 2009 Edition, which we have designed in its entirety. We are really proud of this piece, as it reflects a solid collaboration between design and illustration.  The amazing photography contributed by the staff and students also enriched the content of the magazine, and brought the current community of students into perspective. The total magazine weighs in at 76 pages! (Kirk definitely had his work cut out for him).  

Below are some pages that I hand-picked from this large project:
