A friend sent these to me and they feature European product bags. I love how these are made to just be fun, attention-getting, but also used for cause-marketing. To whomever created these – great concept!

Omni Communications Group is proud to be celebrating its eighteenth anniversary this week. Established on July 5, 1992 at the Springfield home of one of its three founding partners, the marketing, advertising and public relations firm expanded quickly by providing all-inclusive service to clients. Marketing demands evolved, clientele increased, and new employees with expertise in innovative systems joined the team. Operations relocated, first to an office on South Fifth Street, and in 1997 to Omni’s current location at Two South Old State Capitol Plaza, adjacent to the stately and historic Old State Capitol Building.
Today, Omni Communications Group has demonstrated experience and expertise in many industries, including business to business, manufacturing, associations, not-for-profits, health care, retail, financial and technology. Its broad array of marketing services includes strategic marketing plans, market research, branding development, design, advertising, custom website development, media planning and placement, event promotions and public relations.
Congratulations to all at Omni and keep up the great work!

As designers, we often think that our inspirations are unique. However, as this video proves, even we are susceptible to effective advertising. Designers can sometimes be hyper-sensitive to their surroundings, always looking for visual information they can use. But as we see in Derren Brown‘s experiment, simply being in a space or experiencing a product can subliminally influence us in the same way we try to to visually influence consumers. Weird.

Stumbled upon this latest find today, thought I’d share this fascinating new book…
Influence and Inspiration, From the Original Trailblazers to the New Groundbreakers
“The immense body of work produced by graphic designers around the world is astoundingly varied, rich and widely celebrated. Yet in publications, conferences and other public realms, women designers tend to be outnumbered by their male counterparts whose appearances, work and achievements are constantly in the spotlight. Luckily, it’s a reversing trend. While this book does not attempt to relieve the imbalance, it does bring full attention to the wonderful work, careers and contributions of women designers, writers, teachers and entrepreneurs around the world.”

Some Early Opinions
This book about women in design turns out to be a great book about design, period, except with fresher, more surprising work, and less bombastic interviews. Highly recommended to 100% of the population.

This modern matriarchy has given birth to practically every important visual and conceptual form of design expression. I remain humbled and indebted to these many courageous visionaries.
