Small Owl Studio is big on creative, small on hassle. Our goal is to provide you what you need to make your business look good. image-id:83 image-id:82 image-id:81 image-id:80 image-id:78 image-id:77 My employers wanted a stand out marketing package that included our portfolio, but did so in a creative way. A creative way to show creative, basically. I thought of the concept to send out lunch boxes, with the portfolio samples printed on cards, stacked and wrapped in plastic wrap like a sandwich. The cover card was a photo of a sandwich. The service 'menu' showed what we have to offer. We also included a tin of M&Ms printed with the Taka logo. The concept was called "A taste of what we do," and included a personal letter and inset business cards from the managing partners. All items fit perfectly in the box, and I constructed and inserted a riser, allowing me to inset the tin box so it did not slide around. I bound the service menu with a rivet.]]> image-id:76 My employers wanted a stand out marketing package that included our portfolio, but did so in a creative way.

This was a self-promotional piece illustrated for their Christmas Gift. The illustrations were created to target two different audiences. The "Naughty" image was sent to the edgier clientele, and the "Nice" image was sent to the conservative. This illustration was also featured by Brian Hoff in his design blog.]]> image-id:75 Another award winning piece (AMA Spectrum Award for Self-Promotion) that I created for the Taka Group.

The client has ordered several runs of this piece, and it also won the AMA Spectrum Award for best Brochure, 2010. The goal was to reach high school students from out of state, and the client preferred a soft sell. I was enlisted to source the best places, events, restaurants, and stores in town to feature in the brochure as benefits to living in the city of Phoenix. I also researched the recreation aspects of the city and state, so that these potential students would not be able to wait to go to school at Grand Canyon University, instead of their local college. This piece was designed to have integrity, and speak to high school students in a fun but informational way. We utilized testimonials to lend authenticity to the voice of the brochure. I loved how I was given creative freedom and I took full advantage of that by adding unique creative touches and content to make the piece memorable. Some of these included a tear-out poster, creating a historical back story of their mascot and illustration playing upon Da Vinci's vitruvian man, and on the inside back cover, digitally created an image of a bathroom stall wall with graffiti (with writings that pertained to GCU, of course!).]]> image-id:74 This brochure was a huge undertaking, and it was also extremely successful.
