<p><strong>Here's one of our concepts</strong> that we're working on&nbsp;for a full-line packaging project. The hand-done printing process along with the clean design will certainly help differentiate Molly Muriel from the rest. Partly backed by a grant from the amazing <a href="http://www.mercycorpsnw.org" target="_blank">Mercy Corps NW</a>, the new packaging will help position this Portland company for continued success and future growth.</p>
<p>More to come for Molly Muriel soon.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://relevantstudios.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16303886.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>New Communications Director Joins our Team</title><category>Articles &amp; News</category><category>Our Team</category><dc:creator>Relevant Studios</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 16 May 2012 16:20:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://relevantstudios.com/blog/2012/5/16/new-communications-director-joins-our-team.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">926367:11356242:16304007</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://relevantstudios.com/storage/rs.news.header.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1337224899788" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>Just a little plug here. This is Jedd loving his Zenni glasses. Jedd (who is on Sabatical in Jamaica for Peace Corps) bought a pair of Zenni's before he left and loves them.</p>

<p>We miss you Jedd!!! We wish we could clone you (like we did in Photoshop). ;-)</p>
<p>...And no, we were not just goofing around here. We were scouting locations for an upcoming photo-shoot for Zenni Optical. More to come on that soon...</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://relevantstudios.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-16304455.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Baseballism Kickstarter Reward Designs</title><category>Content Development</category><category>Design, Print, &amp; Packaging</category><category>For Retail &amp; Restaurants</category><category>Merchandise</category><category>Portland</category><category>Retail</category><category>T-Shirts</category><dc:creator>Relevant Studios</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2012 21:32:48 +0000</pubDate><link>http://relevantstudios.com/blog/2012/2/16/baseballism-kickstarter-reward-designs.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">926367:11356242:15065131</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Here are some reward examples that we created for <strong>Baseballism's</strong> <a href="http://kck.st/xLWfbS" target="_blank">Kickstarter Project</a>.&nbsp;<br />So far Baseballism is off to a great start with a week completed and 31% of the project funded.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>We just finished creating a high-end hand-crafted wooden sign</strong> for L'Etoile, the Portland-based French Immersion School in Johns Landing. The sign was built with Cedar and hand painted using the <a href="http://relevantstudios.com/letoile-french-school/">brand assets</a> we designed for the School's identity.</p>
