…passed away last weekend, but not before making an immense impact on the company he worked for, the creative industry he revolutionized, and me, when I was struggling to find my career and my path in life.
I sit here today with the full knowledge and appreciation that most of what I know as a designer and all that I aspire to be as a professional, I owe directly to Lou Dorfsman and my amazing and privileged years working near him in the design department at CBS.
I’ll never forget the first time he said hello to me.

This week Onyx had a play date with her BFF, Jackson. As you can see by the toy parts in the background, they had a great time. Jackson, who is much older and wiser, is very patient with Onyx’s rambunctious and demanding nature. Watching these two play is a great reminder that it’s important to have FUN!
Those guys in London must think we’re great because now we’re in their newest book: Signs and Symbols, Communicating with Pattern.This time, Mark Hampshire and Keith Stephenson look at “functional signs and symbols that convey information, taking in musical notation, wayfinding icons, sign language and health and safety”. Whoa. On page 196 you’ll find our work for the National Folk Festival, and on page 243 you’ll find the system of icons we created for Mini-Clik. We are thrilled and flattered to be included in another excellent industry reference book: now, about that tax-deductible trip to London…
We’re very excited about the History campaign we’ve been working on for Richmond Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau. When the time came to apply this campaign to the front of a Segway, well, let’s just say we gladly rose to the challenge.
Brandon is excited, too!
Thanks for reading – we appreciate your time.
As J H I’s official Toy Demolition Specialist, Onyx is an efficiency expert and particularly enjoys removing the squeaker. This cute little hedgehog sent by Aunt Danielle lasted about 10 minutes…
Onyx feels very strongly about animal rights and recently purchased this T-shirt online. If you would like to buy one just like it, visit www.all-lifeobama.com. Note: it’s organic cotton! If you or your dog don’t want to wear the message, your car can: it’s also available as a bumpersticker.
We just completed a brand new website for our friends at Lewis Media Partners. We work closely with them on a variety of projects but this time they became our client! They are a very friendly and professional team and it was a pleasure creating this fresh new site for them. Check them out at www.LewisMediaPartners.com!
RichmondInsideOut.com is a great website we designed for the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau to help promote our lovely city. It’s a place where locals can share their insider insights on the best places to go, best places to eat and best things about living, working and hanging out in RVA. So check it out and more importantly, post, post, post!
When we first met JS Technologies they were using a drowning man to promote their legal collections software. An interesting image, perhaps, but not in line with how they wanted to be perceived in the marketplace, which was getting more and more competitive. After conducting a series of internal interviews as well as discussions with clients and prospects to determine their true and compelling points of difference, JS Technologies has been transformed to JST (which is how the industry already refers to them, kind of like Fed Ex) with a clear and meaningful brand position based on simplicity and ease of use. Armed with a snappy new ad campaign and an elegant new website, www.jstsimple.com, JST is poised to take over the collections law world!
We also celebrated the launch of the new site with some appropriately blue JSTinis (Christen’s idea)!
Everyone here at J H I is so excited for our client EcoLogic, Richmond’s go-to resource for beautiful, eco-friendly home remodeling products and services, as they are having their “Green Opening” celebration this weekend, October 5 & 6!

In addition, you can bring your unwanted and unused electronics to EcoLogic to e-cycle them for you!
