I’m very excited to announce that we have expanded our capabilities to include print, digital, and…pumpkins? Only joking — I can’t say there’s a ton of demand for painted pumpkins. Internally, there definitely ?????? demand for a themed team event, hence ?????? ??????????-???????? ?????????????? ???????????????? ??????????. Here’s what I learned: ??. ?????????????????? ???? ?????????? ?? ???????????????? ????????????, ?????? ?????? ?????? ??????????????. While I expected our designers to knock it out of the park (and they delivered, as always), I didn’t know the rest of the team had such impressive artistic skills up their sleeves, too. ??. Going by the surprising lack of chatting and snacking, ?????? ?????????????????? ???????? ??????????’?? ???????? ???????????? ???????? ???? ?????????? ???? ?????? ????????????????, even if they're just for fun. We’re by no means a taciturn bunch, but we know how to lock in. ??. We’re big fans of seasonal celebrations. Okay, this is the opposite of breaking news, but it’s worth bringing up. Why? With November right around the corner, ?????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? ???????? ???? ?????????? ?????????????????????? ???????? ??????????????’?? ?????????????? ??????????. We’d love to support your efforts, whether you’re looking for print, digital, or even pumpkins. From ???????????????? ?????????? — and ???????????????? ???????? ????????????????

???????????????????????? ??????: ???????????????? ?????? ???????????? ???????? ?????? ????-????-???? ???????? I’m guessing your inbox is looking a bit fuller than it was a few weeks ago, isn’t it? "Summer mode" was nice while it lasted, but it's definitely over for this calendar year. As things pick up, here’s a productivity tip the Leibowitz team has been making use of. As graphic designers, avoiding eye strain is especially key in our line of work. We aren't claiming to hold a monopoly over it, though. Would anyone argue with a quick way to have fewer headaches? Our take is that a short break is a small price to pay for keeping ourselves primed to do our best work. Speaking of "best work," you can take a look at some of our case studies on our website (check them out here: https://lnkd.in/eHdd-py9). We’ve also got some exciting new projects in the works, with fresh case studies coming soon. In the meantime, we’ll be sticking to the 20-20-20 rule ourselves, and we encourage you to give it a try, too. Worst case scenario: you’ll have lost less than a minute of your time. Best case: you'll be a bit sharper throughout the day. You might even save a bit on your yearly Advil spending, too. #Branding #GraphicDesign #ProductivityTips #WorkSmart

?? ???????????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???????? Spring is in the air, inspiration is all around, and it has the Leibowitz team thinking—the principles we follow (https://lnkd.in/gReEHF4U) inform more than just a good brand. Case in point: here are ?? ???????????????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????????? ?? ?????????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????? → ??. “???????? ?????? ??????????????! ??????’?? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ?????? ???? ???? ?? ???????? ?????? ?????????? ??????'???? ????????.” — ?????????? ??????????, ?????????????? ?????????????? → Your brand’s visual identity and core messaging are like a collection of flowers. When creating branded materials, you need to select, arrange, and sometimes (slightly) modify your brand elements to fit the specific context. For example, your brand narrative is important, but you shouldn’t be cramming the whole thing on a 300x250 digital ad. ??. “?????? ???????? ??????????????. ???? ??????????????'?? ???? ???? ????????????????????????.” — ???????? ????????, ???????????????? ???????????????? → Content is key, but so is the vehicle that delivers it. A unique paper weight, texture, or finish can elevate your content, and more importantly, grab and hold your audience’s attention. ??. “??????????, ???????????????? ?????????????? ???????????? ???????? ?????????????????????? ?????????????? ????????’???? ???????????????? ???? ???????? ???????????????? ???????? ?????? ??????.” — ???????? ????????, ?????????????? ???????????????????? → The elements of your brand can be aspirational, but ultimately, they should reflect your company authentically. The colors, design, and language you use come together to establish a personality, and your brand is most successful when it reflects the real spirit of your organization. ??. “???????? ?????? ???????????? ????????! ?????????????? ?????????? ???? ?????????????? ???????? ?????????????? ????????????, ?????? ?????????? ?????????????? ???????? ??????????????????.” — ???????????? ??????????, ?????????????? ?????????????? → Your brand should be as appealing as a rose, but enduring like a snake plant. The key is to create a brand that is evergreen, yet flexible enough to accommodate growth and change, both inside and outside your company. ??. “?????? ?????????????????? ?????? ???????????? ?????? ?????????? ?????????? ??????.” — ?????????? ????????????, ?????????????????? → Regular maintenance of your brand and website ensure they stay fresh in the long run—just like flowers. Changes to your company, its competitive landscape, and tech capabilities can impact the effectiveness of your brand and materials. Good results stay good where attention is concentrated. #branding #design #brandingtips

Leave Leap Day in the past—we've got a better alternative, anyhow: Happy "Leib" Day! What does Leap Day even stand for, anyway? Making birthdays weird for ~0.07% of the global population? We can do better than that—and we did! We came up with Leib Day, the (not-yet) national holiday which celebrates how creativity, expertise and hard work can bring ingenious solutions to life. If that's something you can get behind (likely), celebrate Leib Day with the one (1) Leap Day tradition worth hanging onto: The Leap Day Cocktail** Cheers! ** To make The Leap Day Cocktail, add 2 oz gin, 1/2 oz each of sweet vermouth and Grand Marnier, and 1/4 ounce lemon juice to an ice-filled shaker. Ironically, stir—don't shake—to combine and serve in a coupe glass with a twist of lemon. (via The Spruce Eats)?

At Leibowitz, we're proud of the partnership with brandor? as we rebranded this 3rd generation family business with expertise in branded merchandise. Thank you for the opportunity Delano R. Bartolomei, Jason Waskey, James Waskey and Stephanie Shaiken!

Pencil and paper go digital for our holiday card builder After sketching out the designs, our designers needed to recreate their pixel art as vector drawings to ensure their functionality as flat images and 3D renderings (and crisp look, regardless of screen size). Manual redrawing is an exercise in patience, but the process sure is satisfying to watch. Visit the card builder here →?(https://lnkd.in/g4m2znGV)?to see the designs in action!

A holiday card builder–with a twist! (You can check it out here →?https://lnkd.in/g4m2znGV) For our holiday card builder, we created characters based on the most important aspects of our branding and design process. Say hello to The Researcher, The Dreamer, The Designer, and The Craftsman. Despite their distinct looks, the character designs contain interchangeable elements, allowing users to twist, mix, and match their own custom character.
