Ritz Carlton Rewards

A few examples of our work on the Ritz Carlton Rewards Program for Team One.

The assignment was to develop a visual language for the Ritz Carlton Rewards program that was relevant to the brand. It comprised of membership rewards package that included basic and elite membership brochures, membership cards, welcome letters to prospective members, and a style guide.



While a majority of the images were pulled from the Ritz Carlton International Library, we did get to spend a few days at Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel on a shoot with the amazing photographer Laura Doss.

Team One creative directors: Tim Meraz and Phil Glist.

Logo Exploration : 7th & Fig

A naming and identity assignment for thinktopia. The assignment was to research and design looks for a rebranding of the the downtown LA location 7th and Figueroa. A small sample of our thinking:

Design: Information Graphics, Agromin Charts

Interpreting a process graphically is challenging, but we like to think of it as fun.

Here are two versions of a a graphically illustrative chart we did for a pitch to Agromin, a company that processes waste into healthy soil products. Because of companies like Agromin, your green waste materials could end up right back in your own yard, or those of landscapers and farmers, instead of needlessly filling landfills.

Art School Field Trip to the LA Art Show


Yesterday, Tom went to the annual LA Art Show, a huge showing of hundreds of different artists' work from all over the Los Angeles area.






Not only did Tom get to see some great stuff, he picked up some wisdom along the way:

1. If you have really good art you get to be interviewed by women in really short skirts



2. Art is, above all, subjective.




3. The more adjectives you have in your descriptions, the more people will like your art!



4. It's fun to go to art shows!
