Figure 8 Self Promos
We love an excuse to design meaningful gifts, throw a party, or be a part of the local Portland creative community. Communicating our expertise and aesthetic to clients, collaborators, and friends has taken a number of shapes over the years, and we’ve even garnered awards and accolades for it.
PORTLAND DESIGN WEEK
When we opened our studio doors for Portland Design Week, we threw a party complete with custom-designed etched pint glasses, coasters, and playing cards. All for the purpose of enjoying local craft beverages, of course. Our promotional materials for the event were featured in HOW magazine’s “Promotion & Marketing Design Awards” annual, recognizing outstanding promotion design work.
WEMAKE DESIGN COMPETITION
We were one of over 60 local artists/studios to participate in WeMake’s fundraiser event for Portland arts education programs and earned a “Best in Show” for our Girl Power-themed enamel pins.
“IT’S A WRAP” HOLIDAY PROMO
Ever the merry makers, we partnered with Premier Press to create some stylish holiday cheer for design studios, agencies, and in-house creative departments all over the Portland metro area. Our double-sided designs were intended to surprise and delight even the most discerning of grinches, as well as showcase Premier Press’s stellar production capabilities.
A LITTLE HOLIDAY SPARKLE
To celebrate the holiday season, we turned our iconic 8-ball into a festive snow globe. Hot foil stamping brought the shimmer and shine.
8 DAYS A WEEK
Each year our clients, collaborators, and friends look forward to receiving our unique calendar rendition. Though it has come in a variety of shapes and sizes, one of our favorites is the 8 Days a Week planner, made especially for those who feel there just isn’t enough time in the day…or the week, to do all the things. So, we added an extra day to all 52 weeks of the year. You’re welcome.
