For their sixth annually holiday movie event, Richter7 rented a theater at the Gateway for a special screening of The Golden Compass. Invitations were sent and RSVPs collected through a special website, themed to match the movie. Those involved in the project were: Matt Maxwell, Associate Creative Director; Karen Walsh, Project Manager; Nate Smith, Interactive Designer; Katie Cavicchio, Copywriter; Marcia Winn, Account Manager; Tom Rodgers, J.O.A.T.; and Jamie Whittier, Voiceovers.

I recently had an opportunity to work with the guys at Design Farm on a holiday e-card game for O.C. Tanner. Here’s what we came up with (mind the walruses).

One of my favorite agencies in LA did a nice little number with Paul Rand. Thought you’d all enjoy.

Struck designs interactive viral site for Alltel

Wednesday, 8 August 2007 @ 10:32

Struck launched a large, viral, interactive website as part of a new ad campaign for Alltel entitled “The Man Cave.”

They describe the site and the campaign on their site with the following:

Down with Alltel! Perhaps not surprisingly for the country’s fifth-largest national wireless service provider, Alltel is not shy about taking on its competitors directly. The sales guys (personifications of their top four competitors) have assembled in their beloved ManCave, where they are conspiring against Chad, the good-looking, well-mannered, all-around-do-goodery guy that represents Alltel.

The Man Cave rooms include a “man-brary,” with an assortment of books and magazines, game of darts and hidden entrance to a phone lab, where the sales guys dissect Alltel gear. Its kitchen contains a refrigerator with movable word poetry and a bikini-clad poster girl, Candy Graham, who comes to life, while the “man-lounge” is a den with a telescope to spy on Chad in a nearby Alltel store.

The Web site alone contains more than 80 videos and 50 links, some of which let visitors unlock content like exclusive discounts on certain purchases made on Alltel’s main Web site. The den also has an interactive bulletin board where Web site visitors can post their names and comments.

David Habben contributed to the project, adding his amazing illustrations to a set of game cards. He also pointed out some press that Struck got about the campaign from the New York Times.

Presenters and ideas needed for summer gatherings

Our presenter for our June gathering is not going to be able to make it. This leaves us with an empty calendar. What topics would like to have presentations on? what places you would like to visit? what local artist that you are interested in meeting?

February gathering: Renee Lee on Photography

Tuesday, 26 February 2008 @ 13:29

Don’t forget that our February gathering is tomorrow night, Wednesday, 27 February. I am excited to announce that Renee Lee will be presenting on photography. Renee runs the Salt Lake Photo Club and will come to talk her work and tips and tricks.

As usual, we meet at seven o’clock at Retrospect Studios downtown (230 South 500 West #245, second floor, around corner). The building is on the West side of the street and says ARTSPACE across the front. Park in the lot just South of the Artspace lot to avoid getting towed (in the un-numbered spaces).

Please spread the word. We are excited to see you there!
