PleaseDressMe

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

PleaseDressMe is a classic example of scratching ones own itch. AJ, Gary, and Joe love finding great new tees, but finding said tees wasn’t the easiest thing in the world. Rather than sifting through multiple websites they figured why not just go to one website that makes searching t-shirts easy? Once they came to that conclusion, Joe went right to coding and after a few calculated keystrokes he brought in Chris to make it pretty.

Pony & Clyde

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Two designers created the photo series about the two thugs, Carlos Pononie and Ede Clyde ( aka Pony & Clyde) for an art auction. The money was used to help unpriviledged children in Namibia. So, very Robin-Hood-Like, Pony & Clyde could do something good and meaningful by being protagonists of a photo series, which was sold for 500 Euro to help enhancing the learning conditions at a primary school in Gobabis, Namibia.
