Ever wonder what foods are in season? We’ve worked together with the BC Dairy Foundation to create a guide to help you figure it all out. It also contained recipes and a contest to win a Kitchen Aid Mixer. The brochure was inserted in newspapers across the Lower Mainland.

If you didn’t get to pick up one of these in season guides, be sure to check it out online at www.cookingwithcream.com or download a copy here.

A nice little flash back. Great use of grids and colour.

A collection of vintage ads. Times sure have changed.

Letterheads… you know, that piece of paper people use to represent themselves, or their company via snail mail or fax. Sure, not too many people actually use them in 2011, (atleast in actual print format), but I do think they’re making a comeback, along with letter writing, but that’s a whole other topic of interest that needs to be discussed in the near future.

This wonderful little gem of a website shows off letterheads from the 1900’s, right through to the 80’s and into the 2000’s. It’s a great source of inspiration if you feel like your letterhead designs are in need of a refresh.

Ever wonder what Marylin Monroes Letterhead looked like? Or Dr. Suess?

Pantone annouced the colour of the year this morning. With much anticipation, every designer was trying to guess what it would be, on facebook and twitter. While I wasn’t too surprised with the choice, I was thinking it would be more of a rich red instead of being on the pink side of things. For now I honestly can’t stand the colour, but maybe it’ll start to grow on me as the year moves along.

Cowie and Fox recently created a High School and College targeted Milk Campaign called Milk Slam. For 2010/2011 we went for a simple and clean graphic. Eye catching neon colours and use of pop culture icons are sure to be a hit with the kids these days.

Over the weekend, Semperviva Yoga installed the new window graphics we designed for their City location on West Broadway. They are large, in-charge, bright and fun.

There has already been some great feedback on them, through their facebook wall.

A few months ago we talked about some branding we did for a home decor company called Örling & Wu.

At Örling and Wu you will find decorative fabrics and objects from Europe and around the world. The branding strategy was to reflect a fresh mix of contemporary, vintage and classic European styles.

You’ll be happy to know that you can now head down to Gastown at 28 Water Street and check out their newly opened store.
