As promised here are some pics from Marination’s opening day. They are doing extremely well and people are talking, can’t stress it enough…go to the site, find out where they are gonna be and go support a great local business.
Little taste of the work we did for them:
Unique cars. Rad skateboarders. Awesome photoshoot. Way to go Nike.
The 11th Annual Seattle Show turned out to be quite the event. This small, design awards show was first organized in 1997 with the mission to highlight a lot of local talent and client work towards national recognition. Every year, more than 750 entries are judged and given awards based on design medium, individual skills, community involvement and the infamous ‘best of show’. While we at LeftRight can’t say we’ve received any of these awards (busy, busy), we are proud to say we’re part of a talented pool of designers, agencies and students all crossing paths in a collaborative manner to help combat the perils of ugliness.
Our friends at Creature have created ‘Reverse Memorials’ celebrating local youths’ achievement for local non-profit, The Service Board (sound familiar?). Instead of these memorials mourning a death, these reverse memorials celebrated the new and better lives these kids now have. Great job on getting a Gold, Creature.
University of Washington senior Francis Luu was tasked to rebrand the Port of Seattle, and was given a silver award for student work. A long time friend and colleague of LeftRight, we want to say we’re proud of you, Franko. You’ll always have a spot waiting for you at LR.

At one time or another, designers and photographers alike encounter ‘creative block’ – similar to a copywriters ‘writers’ block’ we’ve all experienced the night before a midterm is due. There are more than enough things to do to get the creative juices flowing. Some of us like to doodle, cook a meal, visit an art gallery, go for a walk on the beach on a hot and sunny day to stare at beautiful… landscapes. However, when stuck behind a computer, there are endless resources to visit in order to get that creative spark.
I recently stumbled upon IdeaFixa – an online-only magazine that features desigers, artists and photographers from across the globe. It’s a Brazilian-based online magazine, so most of the web content appears in portuguese. You can either translate the page to read their daily blog posts, or install a plugin that automatically translates web content in another language.
Clicking on Veja todas as Edições, or ‘view all editions’ or ‘archive’ will take you to all the past issues. Choose your issue. Get inspired. Enjoy.
This is the homie, Canh. He’s got the eye. He takes photos.
LeftRight first made in-depth contact with Canh earlier this Summer on a trip to Portland with local non-profit organization and LeftRight familia, The Service Board. We got a chance to check out some photos he took, and since then, he’s been getting busy.
Nowadays, anybody can buy a camera and call themselves a “professional photographer,” but something still holds true to having the “photographers’ eye” and that natural talent – and Canh’s got it.
We’re excited to work with this kid. For more info on Canh, visit his MySpace page, or to see the rest of his photos, visit his Flickr Photo Page.
Aussie lifestyle brand Insight has awesome stuff. They also have one hell of an ad campaign running. This is really is the most innovative stuff going on in the surf/skate/snow industry right now. I mean really, check this:
