 CAN WE GET A
"MAIS OUI" Y'ALL?
Great Acadian Awakening
website is officially "awake"!
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Our first billingual site (and certainly not the last to be sure) is up and running for the 2011 Acadian gathering Grand Rèveil Acadien. Lots of neat stuff is planned for this 14 day celebration with locales all accross southern Louisiana.

 WHAT CAN WE SAY? WE'RE FANS.
Gill Landry's new website is almost as mysterious as he is...almost.
Friday, August 28, 2010
Jillian had a heck of a time talking the man in black into a mostly white website, but what would the darkness be without the light? Pretty deep, huh? Highlighting Gill's stellar photography was our aim with this design, giving us all that sinking feeling that we haven't really done enough awesome traveling, and that we should really get around to doing that...sometime.

 BECAUSE NOBODY LOVES CLIFTON CHENIER MORE THAN COREY LEDET...
...except maybe Herman Fuselier
Wednesday, August 18, 2010
We've got an exclusive sneak peek of the cover art for Corey Ledet's latest Zydeco opus! The rest of the artwork will be up soon, but we couldn't wait to share this little gem (we're talking about Corey!) with the worldwide web. Knowing Corey's affinity for traditional blues and Zydeco, we definitely wanted to capture the essence of the Clifton Chenier-era Zydeco LP covers with this project. If you're like us and you can't wait to hear this record, it will definitely be pressed and ready for sale at this year's Festivals Acadiens, so be sure to pick one up!

WHILE THE WORLD WORKS "FOR" THE WEEKEND, WE WORK "ON" IT
At least sometimes...OK, Bram does it all the time...
 Saturday, August 14, 2010
We're pleased to announce the launch of four great new WORKagencies websites. All of these folks are doing really neat things! We love them!
The Hub City Farmer's Market promotes local food and farmers and offers organic produce, eggs, chicken, tilapia and lots of other homemade goodies. They also feature local craft artists on the third weekend of each month.
Wood Elements is actually our father's wood-turning business based in Nashville, TN. He almost exclusively uses sustainable American hardwoods to meticulously craft his original designs for kitchen and garden implements, among with many other fine (and useful!) items. Visit him on Etsy.com to shower gifts on your friends and loved ones.
Joie de Vivre is a mixed-use workforce housing development still in the planning and funding stages. It is set to go up almost right across the street from our homes and office location in downtown Lafayette. The project promises lots of green space, walkability and transportation options for residents without vehicles, retail space (including a grocery store!) and green building features. Most importantly, it will provide affordable housing to artist and musician-types (cultural gems!) and the diverse urban workforce that drives the downtown economy.
The Acadiana Outreach Center is another neighbor of ours in downtown Lafayette. They provide basic human services to under-served citizens, as well as treatment for addiction. They feed families and provide gifts for children during the holidays. They have created art therapy and other social enterprise projects which enrich the community and the lives of those they serve.

 AFTER 4 YEARS OF EARTHTONES, BLACKPOT GETS A MAKEOVER
It's about time...
Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Jillian is back at it again, pulling it all together with the gang of formerly boyish Cajun gypsy swingers, the Red Stick Ramblers. This year, we're celebrating with a brand new website, which we feels captures the quirky cuteness of the whole ordeal, or at least the quirky cuteness of Jillian's brain. People seem to like it, anyway.
The always amazing South Louisiana Black Pot Festival & Cook-Off nears once again this October for a weekend of Cajun elbow rubbing the likes of which you've never seen. Mingle with Cajun celeberties whilst sampling piping hot gumbos and the loudest spiciest cracklin's you've ever tasted. Dance with your loved ones (or strangers) on the smooth springy wooden dance floor and howl at the moon from your campsite when the music is done. If that doesn't sound like a good time, we don't know what does. |
 NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS?
It's a newfangled concept that's sweeping downtown Lafayette!
Monday, August 9, 2010
Jillian has joined a small army of neighborhood "do-gooders" working to bring back the age-old concept of helping folks out. And who better to lend a hand to than the people you're surrounded by every day? TownFolk is a brand new non-profit resident neighborhood group that's working on some seriously awesome community projects. Organic community garden anyone? Naturally, WORKagencies provided branding and web design services just to let people know we were serious about it. Click here to learn more about this cool thing that's happening! |
 GREAT ACADIAN AWAKENING
Local cultural event takes a fresh approach: Making the old new again by appealing to a younger crowd.
Monday, June 14, 2010
We were super excited to be chosen to create a brand and all of the things that go with it for The Great Acadian Awakening, a one-time (but maybe more than one-time) event coming up in Lafayette in the Fall of 2011. The goal is to create a vision and aesthetic that appeals to both older and younger generations of french-speaking folks, without forgetting the traditional culture they're carrying on. A website is in the works, as well as merchandise and other collateral materials. |
 COME ON IF YOU'RE COMIN'
DC's Blue Rhythm Boys pose awkwardly (our fault) in what appears to be a faraway land stuck in time, and stuck to an LP jacket.
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
This one's so hot it's still AT the presses, but it will be available to all the cool kids starting July 1. This monstrously awkward collage originally had a plastic palm tree in the background, but the client wondered if people might think it was a "beachy" record. Good point. We churched it up instead with the sacred southern staple, the live oak. What can I say? It's a poor man's sequoia. Mer.
We designed this one at 12x12, just in case the boys win the lottery and decide to press some vinyl. We'd be so delighted, you'd think WE had just won the lottery. Click here to view the project. |
