Vivitiv. Issue Oriented Design.



New Name. New Look. Renewed Focus. As of April 1, 2006, we officially changed our name to Vivitiv. After 15 years as Artomat Design, we figured it was time for a change. After much deliberation we created the Vivitiv name to more closely reflect who we are and what we do. Loosely based on the Latin Vividus, meaning full of life, we hope that the new name and logo will evoke the notions of vivid, vision, active, informative, etc.

Over the years our most gratifying and successful collaborations have been in the areas of technology, housing, education, the environment, public policy and the arts. The new name reflects our renewed focus on issue oriented design, and helping organizations in those and other fields to inform, entertain and inspire.

Drawmark.com


We recently created a new logo and website for Drawmark.com, a new site for the illustration of Mark Kaufman. Drawmark.com features a Flash animated opening on the value of illustration and a portfolio of editorial illustrations, cartoons, new works, bio and client list. An e-commerce feature and blog page will come online soon. In the meantime, you can purchase some buttons designed by Mark Kaufman at www.prickie.com and look for my page. Massive thanks to Brian Beardsley at Studio B Media for help with the site.
