Here's what happened this week at the world's hottest design and branding firm:

Giuli went on a quest to find a glass slipper. She doesn't have a Cinderella fetish or anything - we needed a hard to find prop for a photo shoot. David suggested she look at a stripper supply store. No idea how he knows that strippers have glass slippers. Unrelated, she also got to tour a couple area farms, while she scouted locations for an upcoming video shoot.

David's working on a project for 30 Seconds to Mars, where he's creating something very special for their uber loyal fan club. The record just went gold (that doesn't happen much in the music biz anymore), and we'd like to think it's all due to the awesome website design. But I guess the band had something to do with it too.

Leigh finished a beautious and fun invite for a cool party in San Francisco. Bling is the thing. She's also digging into concepts for an amazing print design project for a paper company. We're hoping we can pull off an awesome photo shoot at the paper mill in some remote town in Wisconsin.

Justus is editing a video for use at a trade show, and he completed a re-design for a print ad campaign to run in DM News.

I went to a cocktail party at a ski resort we do some work for - Mohawk Mountain (no, we didn't do their website ;P)- and saw their marketing guru in a dress. (Note the creative placement of her nametag.) You have no idea how momentus an occasion this is. I didn't really believe that Jen owned anything without polar fleece in it - but she rocked the party in great black cocktail dress. Thought you'd like to know.

I was interviewed in two unrelated articles for the Dallas Business Journal. You need to be a subscriber to read them online :( , so friends in Texas - please send me a scan or hard copy!

Giuli's bobble head arrived!! (They're seen above deep in conversation.) We'll be shooting the statuette on Monday, and then it's only days before Giuli graces the main page on our firm's site.
