Spur Featured in Design Magazine
We were recently interviewed by an editor of XFUNS magazine, a creative and design magazine based in Taipei, Taiwan. The magazine's aim is to introduce designers from all fields to the international community. Our 8-page feature, written in English and Chinese, included illustration and design work we've created for PrestoBingo, Theatre Project, Turnaround's domestic violence hotline and various editorial pieces.
Building Overhaul Adds Energy Efficiency
It's hard to believe that we've been in our current location for almost 10 years. When we purchased the building in 1999, we renovated most of the entire 10,000 square foot structure, but the garage remained largely untouched. This year, we added a new, energy efficient foam roof, which allowed us to remove the decades old insulation in the garage and leave exposed beams - all while decreasing our energy usage by more than 25% so far! Next up in the renovation process are larger windows, new lighting and a fresh color for the exterior.
Spur Announces New Client
Serbin Communications, publishers of The Directory of Illustration, recently selected Spur to design their 26th directory, due to be released in January 2009. In addition to the directory, Spur designed a number of print collateral and online pieces. The first print brochure featured illustrator Mark Burckhardt on the cover (below) and included interiors by Red Nose Studio, Daniel Krall and Harry Campbell.
