Everyday that I come to work is a surprise. I feel really lucky to be here. Not only because I am learning a lot from Christopher and Tim, but because MINE™ has amazing clients. Since I’ve been here MINE™ has worked on projects for a trampoline gym that will open this summer, an education movement called Private Schools with Public Purpose, Coalition of Essential Schools’ education conference, Levi’s and Opening Ceremony, The Stern Grove Festival, The Good Design Book, The Energy Project, C+, Verizon Wireless, Wells Fargo, The Nature Conservancy, The Haiti Poster Project, and the Stanford d.School. I am amazed by the breadth of clients and how awesome everyone is. I feel like I am going to get spoiled and think that this is the way every design office is run.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming
Hello! We are back! Sorry about the blog hiatus, but it was out of our hands. Our server in Utah was having MAJOR hiccups. We couldn’t even receive email this week.
I promised you pictures of the party we went to last Friday. I took a bunch, but they are pictures of a lot of people you don’t know. So I will post pictures of our work and one photo found on the internet where you can see the MINE™ gang represent! You can see Tim, Emily and the back half of my head. I’m the one to whom they are speaking.
Check out this gun show.
That’s right. I got my workout at work today.The intern job description should include, “Must be able to lift 50lbs.” I reorganized all of our overflow work samples and came up with a chronological labeling system. Doing a mindless task and listening to the Rolling Stones Pandora station was actually kind of enjoyable though.
It’s been an all around good week at MINE™. Yesterday Christopher and I presented our logo to the client, and it went well! They were pleased with their options, and the client even chose the logo we like. We have a little bit of finessing to do, but we’ll most likely turn in final art early next week. From what I hear, this was the fastest logo ever designed and approved at MINE™. I really enjoyed doing this project. First and foremost, I love story telling. Figuring out an identity is part of the story that an organization uses to present itself to the world. But also, I got to collaborate with Christopher and learned a lot from the experience.
The fun doesn’t end today. Tim, Emily (Tim’s girlfriend and former MINE™ intern), yours truly, and guests will be attending the Levi’s Cords by Opening Ceremony launch party. We’ll be in high form tonight, checkin’ checkin’ our fresh.
Super Secret Revealed
I know all of you have been at the edge of your seats waiting for the big reveal! Well the day has come. For the past few weeks MINE™ has been working with CITIZEN:Citizen on a campaign introducing Levi’s Cords by couture brand Opening Ceremony. We feel privileged to be listed among design luminaries such as Jennifer Morla and Stefan Sagmeister who have done work for Levi’s.
