With apologies to our many vegan friends, the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board has put together a great web site for the Cheese & Burger Society.
In addition to mouth-watering photographs, the site also features a RETRO ROLODEX navigation system. The site's narrator is Seinfeld's own David Puddy (Patrick Warburton). This is a really fun site to view on a Friday afternoon, but only after your stomach is sufficiently full. Enjoy.

This project flew through our studio incredibly fast. I guess you could call it a reactive project. Very fun and the finished product looks great. I can appreciate it, right now!

A few years ago, a brave young creative director/producer from the Showtime Network, Stephanie Sassola, hired Eymer Design to develop a brand identity and some video lead-ins for a cartoon channel that Showtime was developing.
In that particular year, several of our own promotional graphics along with several paying projects showed up Print Magazine's Design Annual. Stephanie took a chance on our young firm, and not only hired us to develop the two-dimensional graphics, but she also allowed us to develop the animated introductory pieces, lead-ins and connectors (I am not sure whether these are really the correct technical terms – but they sound pretty good).
I had an unbelievably great time working with NYC's, Broadway Video in the development of the animated pieces. Unfortunately, before 'Kids Komedy' could see the light of day, it was killed-off due to some corporate re-jiggering and/or restructuring.
The final Kids Komedy logo is posted above – along with one of the surviving 'rough cuts' from the intro.
Stephanie, thanks for taking a chance with us. It was a project that we will never forget!

Yesterday, the designer within me, stole $1.99 out of my pocket and wasted it on an iPhone App. The design of DIACARTA is absolutely beautiful and a true graphic gift for a visual thinker.
Unfortunately, the interface is not compatible with iCal – which by the way, manages both my professional and business lives.
DIACARTA, please restore my faith in everything beautiful and figure out a way to connect. For now, I will have to leave the receiver off the hook.

A really good friend of mine, who on a regular basis, tools around Key West in her orange VW Van, sent me this link. Wawa's Hoagiefest 2010.
Picture a site built around The Yellow Submarine and cheap submarine sandwiches. Enjoy the ride and have a good trip!

For the past year and a half, Olivetti (yes, named after the famous Italian typewriter) has been the official mascot of EYMER DESIGN Laboratories + Think Tank. A high-spirited, energetic, and too often mischievous German Shorthaired Pointer – Olivetti has taken us on many misadventures and near disasters. By now, FedEx and UPS drivers know not to leave unattended packages by our front door. One too many packages has ended up in the front yard, chewed to pieces with the contents strewn hither and yon!
It has been nearly a week of regular play and Olivetti has yet to tear it apart! The ABO Gear website sells the toy for $15. We paid $9.99 at Whole Foods.
That's the mascot report from EYMER DESIGN!
