Buzz
I am constantly reminded of how much Charleston is more like a small town than a city of 100,000. It seems like everyone knows everyone here, or at least maybe one degree of separation away. It happened again recently when I glanced at the byline of an article I was laying out for the fall issue of Charleston Style & Design Magazine. The writer Christy Heady, sounded awfully familiar. When I read her bio, I realized we had both worked on another project together… indirectly. Her as co-author on New York (ex) Mayor Ed Koch’s recent book Buzz and myself as it’s cover designer, contracting through Manhattan publisher Amacom Books. Small world. Where have I heard that one before?
Curious Yellow
Just finished the labeling for Curious Yellow, a super premium lemmoncello liqueur that will be bottled and distributed locally here in Charleston. The proprietor is a local artist and his artwork was incorporated into the final design.
Let’s Do Lunch… U Buy
I heard from a Mass College of Art buddy of mine yesterday about his unique approach to networking at Boston’s 49th Annual Hatch Awards Monday night. I’ve got to hand it to Craig. He landed a killer job right out of school working for ad legend Steve Cosmopulos at Cosmopulos, Crowley, Daly. Craig eventually launched his own shop, Grant Associates Advertising & Design, and enjoyed a long successful run. A year into this recession, smaller creative shops like his have been particularly hard hit. As a result, Craig has become somewhat of a networking zealot. Based upon the write-ups he received in the Boston Jobs blog and his local town’s newspaper , it may just pay off. You can read the latest here.
