ZAAZ

ZAAZZAAZ has a lot of (dare we say it) pizaaz. They provide platform-based web solutions that range from consumer brands to interfaces for all sorts of business utilities. Where they really shine is in their custom-made interfaces for everything from traffic analysis to Washington Mutual Bank. Where would we all be without ZAAZ? Using boring, old-fashioned ATMs, that's where.... Read more

WSDIA WeShouldDoItAll

WSDIA WeShouldDoItAllTaking their name in part from a quote by a famous science fiction writer, WSDIA (We Should Do It All) is a Brooklyn, New York-based graphic, interactive, and architecture multi-disciplinary design studio. Sticking with that simple theme of diversity, WSDIA designs, develops and mediates interactive, print, motion and architecture projects for clients in a wide array of professions - such as the arts, architecture, advertising, fashion, and media. Truly one to watch, their work has very crisp, and futuristic egde - from the typography choices to the themes and clients, each project rings out with a clean, bright and youthful appeal. Therefore, it's no surprise that WSDIA was recently named to The Art Director’s Club, 'Young Guns 5' for 2006. The future is certainly bright for this talented collective and company who are ready to take on whatever comes their way.... Read more

Vectorform

VectorformComing at design from the technical side of development is certainly an invaluable segment of the design market. And while many firms profess to merge design and technology, Vectorform is a true interactive media and application development firm who actually build and promote the tools that define their client’s business. At Vectorform, their philosophy is simple: they define and maintain the harmony between technology and design. But don't just take our word for it... the results speak for themseves in their impressive case studies - which unlike anything you'd expect from a traditional "back-end" company - play like full multimedia presentations....

Ultra 16

Ultra 16Ultra 16 is an interactive multimedia company with offices in NYC and San Francisco. Their strategy is: "Communicate, Relate, Succeed," and underneath each of those headings one can find a specific plan. Their rules are so well honed, they've painted them on the walls in their hallways. At least that's what the pictures on their site suggest. Then again, they're surely proficient in Photoshop, so they could be pulling one over on us.... Read more

Tonic Group

With capabilities extending across print and digital media, this boutique has all the advantages of a full-service studio. An extensive A-Z client list. Dig the section on their site called "Version City," a souped-up funky forum for the Tonic Group's creative design experiments. Very cool.... Read more

TNOP

TNOP's website is vertically challenged, so get ready to crane your neck as you peruse their selection of designs and illustrations. It's actually a pretty effective way to grab our attention. Although the work here is strong, their client base is not -- or maybe we're just missing something from this perspective.... Read more

Texture Media

Texture MediaIt's a little tricky wading through the "look what we can do!" fluff and thick sales pitching of t|m but once inside the 'case studies' show a thorough understanding of identity and all it entails. Direct mail, CD-ROM, interactive communications and broadcast ads compliment the online presence of clients. The graphic design elements are a bit weak but the communication bases are well covered.... Read more

tenmetal design

The smooth interface and chic layout make tenmetal a sturdy soldier in the all's-fair-in-love-and-war-like business of advertising. With classic German efficency, the mix of photo-graphic collage is perfect for the straight shooting presentation. The overuse of drab hues is perhaps the single misfire in tenmetal’s otherwise fully-loaded chambers.... Read more

Stay Honest

The easy going folks at Stay Honest cover it all. They've got their print ads and web sites, which are all fine and good, but what is really exciting are their short films and commercials, commissioned by the likes of Diesel, Nike, the band "The Gorillaz," and more. What happens when graphic design sensibilities are transposed into short works of cinema? Try downloading a few, and we think you'll agree that the results are awesome. Honest.... Read more

Segura Interactive

Joined at the hip to Chicago's Segura Inc. design label, this is where you'd turn if you want those very accomplished Segura folks to cook you up a website. They don't seem to have as much going on here as the graphic design firm does -- it appears that little has been added to the site since 2002. Still, that client list is worthy of envy.... Read more

Segura Interactive

Segura Inc.

Based out of the windy city, Segura seems at first look to be quite serious and all business. Indeed, their site is austere and corporate manner, and their client list is really, really, really long. Let's see...Fox River Paper...Beefeater Gin...Ram Golf...But wait -- what's this? CD designs for the likes of Christina Aguilera, Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins and Willie Nelson? WooHOO! Playboy Magazine, Gatorade, Nintendo? Ahhhh. We get the picture now. Business in the front, party in the back. Segura Inc does graphic design and advertising, and if you're in the market for a web site, head for their sister company, Segura Interactive.... Read more
