Scan n’ Sweat
We’ve been having so much fun creating collateral materials for Bikram Yoga East Edmonton, we decided to take it a step further. The company needed something to quickly and efficiently monitor client traffic. The solution? Scannable key tags. They’re small and practical, and, as we’ve discovered, fun to create.

We’ve got words
What do ad geeks love more than a great copy-driven poster? The opportunity to create one.

Check out the posters we designed for Cover to Cover Used Book Market.

The Brick Home 2.0
Starburst has been producing The Brick Home magazine for the past three years, and we decided it was time to leverage the content online. We wanted to try a new sales approach that combined the “ooohs” and “ahhhhs” of magazine style with the instant convenience of the web. Email seemed like a natural progression—it’s quick and accessible.
