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 few months ago we posted about some BC Dairy Posters we created for their annual Milk Slam Campaign. The posters have since been featured in the first edition of a Shanghai magazine called Touch.

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.

Last month Cowie and Fox contributed to an art charity event, called Art to Boot. We had to “art up” a pair of Blundstone boots and they’d go up for auction, money raised went to I Heart Van Art. It was a collaborative effort with our Creative Director, David Manzl and Senior Graphic Designer Nicole Phillips.
