Historically speaking, the concept of “on your honor” was not unheard of. It was likely that you would have credits at your local grocer, be able to leave your luggage for a minute at the airport and potentially even be able to go to school without going through a metal detector or fall victim to a random locker search during the day.
Over the course of the last decade, we have transformed as a nation into a somewhat neurotic, untrusting place (with of course very good reason from the tragedy of 911 and other such occasions). But here, out in the woods of Glenn Arm, Maryland is a perfect little oasis of trust.

As dawn was touched with a glow of light we were out and about this morning, revving up for a great photoshoot for Flanigan’s 2010 Calendar. These limited edition items are always a hit and in the 125th Anniversary year, Flanigan is going to really tell a wonderful story in this piece. One of local clients, P. Flanigan & Sons is a horizontal construction business, boasting about 99% recycle-ability or re-usability in most of their projects. We have worked with Flanigan for 3 years on their branding, strategy and of course design presence in the marketplace. In addition, we have assisted them with their greening plan and assisting with marketing to that message. Check out the website to learn more about the great Flanigan company!

Years ago, my parents ran a small design and marketing firm out of Ohio. Their largest client was Kimberly Clark. If nothing less than experts, my parents were huge paper advocates; my mother is now a professional papermaker having studied from California to Japan with any master that would teach her and my father is a carpenter and cameos as children’s story book writer; beginning his stories only with paper with his first book entitled, “The Little Nut” based on an acorn who grew into a tree. For years as a child I remember the experience of paper and how it surrounded my life… and know I realize how important it really is.
As an adult with an profession as an environmentalist and a designer, my interests have been identified as somewhat of an oxymoron: Paper has a reputation for being bad for the environment and designers waste paper like it is going out of style. Well, paper is going out of style. CONTINUE READING
