UP’s Coasters Take Top Prize

Dave — Thu, 26 May 2011 15:48:30 +0000

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.

Emergent Order

Dave — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 19:13:15 +0000

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.

Off the Floor Friday: Infographics

Dave — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 19:53:10 +0000

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.
