Did you know that Indiana is a huge producer of bio-fuel? Fall 2009, students chose states, or maybe they chose us, and from there we did a lot of research in order to create a state logo, variable license plates with a theme and a poster for our state’s State Fair. Green, or ecology minded [...]

However, upon research, I discovered that the SW logo holds historical value. How can you touch that? More research uncovered the earth friendly line [...]

Since I’m on the subject of eco-friendly products, I thought I’d share two of my favorite cleaning products, and speak of their label design. It took years for me to try the Mrs. Meyers product line.
