Dan

Dan is a quiet, self-described "basic guy" who silently covets misprinted t-shirts and shish kabobs. Despite his native Ohio proclivity for landlubber sports, he is an adept surfer and conquered the notorious waves at Mavricks in Northern California. He has been, on two separate occasions, robbed of $100 and a pizza. His favorite high school transgression - drawing comics and Ninja Turtles in class - eventually grew into a portfolio that gained him acceptance at the prestigious Art Institute of Pittsburgh where he learned his uncommonly lovely design skills. On weird days, he wears all white. He likes sandwiches. Sometimes he wears all white while eating sandwiches. Cowabunga, dude!

This is the Place

Our studio is open and airy with plenty of space to think up new ideas. There's even a loft with sofas and pillows where we brainstorm and sometimes share one of Kory's homemade cakes with our clients. Stick-on mustaches optional.

Desktop Friday

The brainpower is palpable when the whole studio stops for Desktop Fridays: A random topic, an hour in Photoshop, and the earnest desire to utterly outdo each other. Who will crack under the pressure? Who will resort to interpretive dance for lack of Photoshop skills?

Sneek an HD peek inside our little world at FORM.

Formation #3: A political activist's wife experiences hardships during the Bolshevik Revolution.

The Low Down

What's The Low Down?

If FORM were a person, this would be a little peek into its brain. Cool things. Random thoughts. Even the silly and stupid stuff. Only without all the icky gooey bits.
