UP Design teamed up with McCarter and English to produce their first ever Pro-Bono Report.
The team at McCarter shared our vision of creating a contemporary and emotional piece. The result was a report that gained great attention for the firm.

As a follow up to the identity we developed for Emergent Order- UP Design was asked to create the company web site. John Papola is great to work with, we love to partner with other creatives that challenge us to raise the creative bar.

UP Design would like to THANK all teaming up to help the ongoing efforts to aid PAWS in helping homeless animals in the community. A special THANK YOU  you to Seedco, McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP, Lisa McNamara, LLC and Party Photo!

” We recently ran into our friend Suzanne from Comfort Food Kitchen- UP Design worked with her to create a brand for her new company. We would like to congratulate Suzanne on the success she has been experiencing getting her baked goods into five retail stores.”

This past holiday season, as a promotion for our clients, we designed a set of coasters that featured drink recipes for the holiday festivities. We followed up after New Year’s with an email featuring hangover recipes.

The response was great from our clients, and this past Friday, May 20th, the sentiments were shared by the Art Directors Club of NJ.

Pictured below is designer Dave Yurkanin with the award, and some shots of the coasters.

Last night, we attended the Hatch Show, an AIGA event at the Brooklyn Winery. Had a great time, below are some highlights.

Over the past few weeks, UP Design has been engaged in a branding project with Emergent Order, a new production company from a few of the industry’s finest, who gained attention with this. Below is a little behind the scenes of the UP process, and a little tease of the final outcome.

We started out exploring multiple mediums, from paint to pixels. Some of our favorites still exist within this first round, which we had a lot of fun with.

After reviewing the first round, we pinpointed the direction of focusing on the EO. The second round resulted in a strong departure from the first.

After much deliberation, we landed on the final choice. Be sure to check back for the final product.

Every once and a while, as designers, our heart gets a little broken. We fall in love with something we’ve created, but the client doesn’t share the same feelings. This is something comes with the design territory, but why should we let these great pieces go to waste?

Every Friday, we’ll be sharing an example of one such work… and this week is no exception.

Yesterday we installed the long awaited rebrand signage at NJU’s Bloomfield and Saddlebrook locations. Video Below.

Over the past few months, we have been in the process of moving from our old studio on Church Street to our newly renovated studio on S. Fullerton Ave in Montclair. UP Design has a new home, right around the corner from our old one.
