Summer '10 bags

One theme for this summers recyclable bags is nautical blue. The color says nautical, but we're looking at mixing it up with graphic patterns for a contemporary feel. Clean and simple!

Summer Bag

It's hard to think of summer when it's 9 degrees outside, but in retail-land we're thinking beach bags! Our summer recyclable bag is a fun & sophisticated mix of an Asian-inspired wave and a graphic pattern.

Spring '10 Reusable Bags

Color color color! The Spring reusable bags were so much fun to work on. My favorite upcoming trend is Springs nod to whimsy, called "Retro Naiivete". How fun is that? I want to do my whole house in Retro Naiivete, just so I can say it over and over again.

The holidays seem so far away, but in retail-land we're in full-Christmas swing! Here are some initial layouts for our holidays sign package this year. We're hanging all our hats on candy this year, transforming the front of the store into a confection-inspired candy emporium. Inspiration is taken from Dylans Candy Bar, Candyland, and FAO Schwartz. How can I not be cheerful working with this color palette?
