YP Summit Program

YP Summit Materials

Next Generation Consulting is a market research firm committed to engaging young people for companies, governments and organizations. Organizing conferences are a key component to their service offering. The YP Summit is a venue for young professional organizations to come together and share ideas of how to attract and retain young people. This year the event takes place in Cocoa Beach, Florida. As the headquarters for our national space program, utilizing space exploration photos seemed pretty clear.

REJECTED: Green Printing Poster

This Green Printing Poster Concept was created for Quad/Graphics in an effort to (a) rally the industry to the environmental cause and (b) to a much lesser degree promote Quad's long history of corporate responsibility . Ultimately, this was rejected when the specs of the project evolved and required a great deal of copy on the front. 

A good friend with a great photography blog, Kevin Miyazaki mentioned how great this forum is for posting work that would otherwise languish on some hard drive. So, why not. Welcome to Island of Misfit Designs.

Ocean Explorium at New Bedford Seaport Identity

Earlier this year, LP/w helped the Ocean Explorium at New Bedford Seaport develop their brand. The identity created emphasizes the Explorium's mission to be more than a destination for marine life observation but a bonafide scientific research and education center. Along with the logomark, LP/w created style guides, membership, marketing and events material. Signage and exhibit designs to come.

LP/w Hearts Celery

Celery Design Collaborative called LP/w up to help on this Corporate Social Responsibility Report for Cone. The design for the brochure supported their (and LP/w's) philosophy that business and social responsibility are inextricable.

Sea Monster Exhibit at the Oceanario de Lisboa

cosestudi, a Boston-based architectural and exhibit design firm, asked LP/w to help out with the Monstros Marinhos (Sea Monster) exhibit for the Oceanario de Lisboa. As cosestudi explains, "As opposed to most typical exhibits of prehistoric creatures, cosestudi elected to develop the 'Sea Monster' theme in Lisbon primarily from an anthropocentric perspective. The intent of this exhibit was to reinforce the notion that humankind's knowledge of the natural world is always evolving and that major advances in scientific theory can be instigated by a few curious and creative individuals."

Novation Architectural Products Brand Update

Novation Architectural Products, a Minneapolis-based company, representing innovative, ecological manufactures of architectural and interior products has launched a new identity with the help of LP/w Design Studios. The challenge was to communicated that Novations had solutions for an entire interior space rather than only flooring or only surface products. 

Eno Wines Packaging

Another year marks another set of wine labels for the Berkeley-based winery - Eno Wines. We wanted the first posting to be about the client that's been with us from the ver beginning. LP/w Design Studios has collaborated with Eno for the past 8 years developing a brand identity that reflects the wineries careful attention to producing the best product. This image is a proof of concept for this year's family theme. Each wine is a character. Every family has one. 

Stay tuned to see how the family grows.
