The no frills approach to burgers.

Japananese McDonald's is launching a generic restaurant concept called "Quarter Pounder".

Super generic packaging, minimalist decor, and only two-items on the  menu. Yes, the "Quarter Pounder Restaurant" may appear to be some cool elitist hot spot but hang on a sec... apparently the McDonalds' marketing machine is in high gear promoting the concept. The "Quarter Pounder Big Secret" campaign utilizes viral online marketing, street teams, and other bizarre stuff that only the Japanese can explain.
Big Secret? Yeah, we only sell Quarter Pounders!!! Ha ha... so funny!

Converse has the coolest website.


Okay, it's pretty obvious that I love the shoes... but the website really blew me away. Lots of cool features -- lots of great new product. Check out the "you might also like this" feature too.
Here's my design for a sick pair of shoes that would be right at home around the venu design office.

Spike Lee in da house!

This is in the Venu Offices in El Segundo, California. Check out these original poster comps from Nike Design circa 1990-ish.

This is the coolest poster ever...

Fresh and Easy Gets Fresh Ads

The Fresh and Easy Outdoor Advertising Campaign informs shoppers of the great values and super awesome products at Fresh and Easy. Thanks to the wunder kids at Deutsch LA -- this ad campaign really hits it on the head. Now if we could only figure out a way to eliminate all of those stupid Lap-Band billboards...

Don Froth & Hunter at the Kogi Truck

This is Julian and Hunter hanging at the Kogi Korean BBQ truck on Abbott Kinney in Venice. Julian is now up in San Francisco doing big time design for Levi's. Hunter will be up in SF in the fall to attend Academy of Art. Looks like we'll be spending some time up there too.
