I Am Not A Sewer

Detail from a new display that promotes water pollution prevention for Puget Sound Starts Here and The City of Bellevue. The portable display is part of a larger campaign of new educational projects on water quality. I am legend. I am stormdrain.

New Year/New Advert

Here’s our latest print ad due out later this month in Marketing Magazine. Have a safe and happy New Year!

Alternate Ending

Here’s an alternate version of the graphic from our recent year end/holiday email blast. We couldn’t quite make up our minds about which one to use. This seems like a good a place as any to let it see the light of day. Cheers to all.

Design Taxi Interview

This is a bit of old tosh, but Mark Kaufman's interview for Design Taxi, the global creative network can still be seen online. Find out about Mark's illustration and more than you really care to know here.

Smart Mouth iD

Vivitiv is happy to announce the rebranding effort for Smart Mouth, strategic writing and brand consultants. We partnered with the fine folks at Smart Mouth on a new identity, business papers, print advertising and a new web site holding page. Think Smart Mouth!

Big Book of Green Design

We are pleased to announce that we have several entries in the forthcoming BIG BOOK OF GREEN DESIGN coming out in August 2009 from HarperCollins Publishers. Our work was cited for our collaborations with the City of Bellevue, WA. Projects to be in the book include a booklet and traveling display on reducing our carbon footprint, a series of posters on stormwater runoff, and a print advertising campaign for the City’s food waste to compost program. The image above of a Vivitiv self-promotion was also cited. It was a giveaway tote bag made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. Eight out of 10 plastic bottles end up in the landfill–a real drinking problem. We have a few left over, please write us if you would like one.

Vivitiv Peer Reviewed

We are pleased to announce that a brochure campaign we created for Drawmark was selected for inclusion into the 2009 Seattle Show, where work in advertising, design, illustration, digital and broadcast media is judged by a top panel of creatives from outside the Seattle market.

Vivitiv is Dropping Science

We have attended several of the Technology Alliance’s Science and Technology Discovery Series lectures over the past few months and recommend them highly for anyone curious about science and technology issues, but more generally we recommend them because they are fun, interesting and inspiring. What better way to spend a morning before heading off to work than to spend it with the researchers, academics, venture capitalists on the cutting edge of innovation in Washington State and beyond. It’s really future now stuff in the fields of robotics, stem cell research, search technology, and sustainability issues. There are lectures in Seattle and in Spokane, so check out the Technology Alliance web site for upcoming lecture schedule.

Full disclosure and brazen plug, the TA is a long time Vivitiv client and the image above shows some of the promotional communications that we have designed for both the Seattle and Spokane Discovery Series lectures.
