After a much needed and wonderful holiday break, it is great to be back in the office for the first workday of 2011. This year is already looking like an exciting year as we will be releasing our first iphone/ipad application and will be making a much bigger push into the web/interactive design world. We have also created some regular blog series to keep the blog populated through the year. We wish you all a very happy new year and hope that 2011 turns out to be an excellent year for you. We look forward to working with you, meeting you, seeing you at an AIGA event or just communicating with you digitally.

We are excited to be attending AIGA Nashville’s Think Tank again this year. Think Tank is a single day design conference that is put on each year by the Nashville Chapter. This will be our fourth year attending and our second year as part of the organizing committee. This is always a great event. If you have not signed up yet, registration will open tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM. This year’s speaker’s include Sean Adams, Jessica Hische and Jina Bolton. We look forward to seeing everyone at the event.

In an effort to get the student groups more involved, our local AIGA chapter in Nashville decided to do an event to kick off the school year. Ryan Nole, who runs Kangaroo Press and I have been wanting to screen print a poster together for some time so this seemed to be the perfect opportunity.

It has been a number of years since I have been rollerskating. Aside from countlessly falling down, I remembered being fascinated by the lights. Therefore, I attempted to recreated this experience in the form of a two color poster.

If you haven’t had a chance to work on a project with Kangaroo Press, then I highly recommend that you do. The shop is full of tee shirt presses, an automatic screen printer for posters, letterpress equipment and finishing tools. Here are some pictures of the process.

More photos after the jump.
