Tug and the Tooth launches

TUG_w_Book_Front

Losing a tooth is one of the most significant milestones in a young child’s life.  It’s the first time one is old enough to notice physical change which can bring a flood of emotion ranging from excitement to worry.

We at Replace had the opportunity to pair with Heidi Whitaker to create a product and website called Tug and the Tooth. You can check out Tug’s website here.

Nokomis Shoes Steps Up

The boot has finally dropped, Nokomis Shoes has released both their new Replace designed look and website! Let me just say, this website is no loafer, but rather has a leg up when it comes to responsiveness. Ok… I think we’ve exhausted our shoe-related puns for the time being. In the meantime, while we think up more, check out their new site here!

Big thanks to Nokomis Shoes for allowing us to work on this project and being such great clients. A big thank you as well to Room 34 for lovingly cobbling together the development. Sorry, couldn’t resist one more.

Ch-ch-ch-Changin’ (at See Change)

Lemons

The design world is constantly changing, coming up with new ways to innovate. Just look at how typesetting has evolved with the introduction of the Adobe creative-suite! Our fearless leader Jeff Johnson was asked to discuss this very thing with Adobe at the most recent See Change Conference.

With the ever expanding influence of 3D printers and 3D programs (Photoshop CC, for example), designers are finding brand new tools at their fingertips. Replace has used this technology (with the help of Adobe and Makerbot) to create a prototype for our amazing clients at JonnyPops. With just the cost of the plastic we were able to manufacture the shape and design of their newest proposed flavor, Lemon Butter Merengue. It’s the future… and we’re livin’ it. I’ll let Jeff explain it all himself here!

 

Cheers to the Big Ego

CREATE The Community Meal brand identity on press today!

Create_Collateral

Over the last few months Replace has been working on a brand identity for CREATE The Community Meal from Public Art Saint Paul by artist Seitu Jones. and today, it became reality. Postcards, business cards, and other promotional materials are all on press and the website is live. The brand identity is a reflection of the many cultures woven together in the rich and diverse St. Paul community. It also alludes to the ripple effect submitting and sharing stories and a meal can have on building and strengthening our community. Get ready to see the brand work all over St. Paul from now through September 14, when 2,000 people will gather at a ½ mile long table in the middle of Saint Paul’s Victoria Street for a civic dinner table conversation about Food Access, Food Justice, and Healthy Eating. Learn more about the project as well as all the other amazing projects Public Art Saint Paul supports here. Next up we’re going to tackle a full Public Art Saint Paul rebrand complete with new website by our friends at Room 34.
