Raleigh Wide Open 5 is coming up this weekend in Raleigh, NC. This year as part of the downtown festivities, MAXIMUS CIRCUS is making its debut! Gamil Design was hired by the Raleigh Convention Center to brand, promote and produce the circus full of our local talent. Acrobats, hoopers, as well as fire spinners will all have their place in this circus of MAXIMUS magnitude!
We spend a lot of time on this blog showing our readers what other great designers are doing. From time to time we think it’s necessary to show what we do. As you can tell, we’re not an ordinary design firm. We launch inventive products, we create events, we do new types of websites with cool brand identities. A lot of this comes from our enthusiasm to use a genuine grass-roots approach that is as dedicated to our community as it is to great design. Overall we believe our efforts come together in a way that make the unfamiliar familiar and that our efforts are both from the people that it’s for. When is our work for the community? When is it for our selves? When is it for our clients? For us it’s hard to get that separation. That’s what makes our work “sticky.”
The Visual Art Exchange produced the video for the competition, and if SPARKcon wins they will receive a $5,000 award to use in the 2010 SPARKcon festivities.
SPARKcon
SPARKcon is a “creative potluck” of SPARKs or creative themes such as art, music, film, fashion, etc. Each SPARK is put together by individuals who are deeply embedded in that specific local scene. SPARKcon is a program of Visual Art Exchange, a Raleigh non-profit whose mission is to support emerging artists and connect the community to the arts.
SPARKcon is a showcase of creativity, talent and ideas of “The Creative Hub of the South,” the North Carolina Triangle region.
Gamil + SPARKcon
Gamil has been one of the driving forces in SPARKcon since its beginning in 2006. We have worked with the organizational, marketing, & branding efforts of the festival. We will be posting more about Gamil’s 2010 efforts soon.
What Matters Innovation Award
The What Matters Innovation Award is presented by the Triangle Community Foundation. This year’s What Matters Innovation Award will go to a cutting-edge organization using innovation to address our region’s growth and diversity. More about the Award.
You are at Gamil (as opposed to Gmail). We are a graphic and product design firm in Raleigh, NC, and we've been around since 1995.
A few years ago, we noticed a remarkable amount of new traffic. After doing a bit of research, we realized lots and lots of Gmail users were getting ahead of themselves when typing and ending up visiting us instead of their email account. So we started a blog to say "Hi!"
Feel free to stick around for a while — and return as often as you like!
