Solar-Powered Print Ads

Here's an example of a solar-powered ad. In the magazine, it's just a black-and-white sketch. But held up to sunlight, it blossoms into full color—and added text appears, completing the "interactive" pitch. Check out here.

Logos, Past & Future

Following the trends in logo design is always a cultural peek into the times we have and will live in so this article I came across on the website WHUDAT carries that theme out with lots of current well know companies.

Here comes the sun.

We recently completed the website design for Soltech, a North County San Diego based company which designs and distributes solar energy systems, modules and related components.
This startup company services the residential, commercial and utility market sectors with premium and customized solar solutions and its seasoned group of PV industry professionals are committed to building the industry's most efficient solar energy systems.
Soltech is out the gate running with an exclusive relationship with a major solar products manufacturer to build joint venture assembly and manufacturing plants now and for the future.

Decals are cool.

As kids when we traveled on vacation as a family we would adorn the back windows with decals from wherever we might had just visited. 
"From stickers on guitar cases to emblems of placed visited. Gene Gable contemplates what these adhesive graphics say about our aspirations. In this installment: Gene ponders non-transferable graphics, or how to dress up your Oldsmobile Cruiser."

Every picture tells a story.

We recently completed the design and production of a custom promotional packet for one of Hollywood's most successful TV and Radio voice-over announcers - Bill Ratner. 

Bill is joining the growing popularity of the ancient tradition of live storyelling. Bill is a seven-time winner of The Moth Storytelling Slams and has told traditional and personal stories at the National Storytelling Conference and numerous nationwide festivals.

Using our "look & feel" from the recently completed website, the presentation materials includes a custom pocket folder, which carries an informational brochure, custom DVD and CD, letterhead and business card. The packet will be used to highlight Ratner's storytelling and voice-over classes, and it will be sent to festival directors and educational institutions for performance and workshop inquiries. 

Bill Ratner says, "I've done lots of major projects with Nexus, and working with them is the most creative time of my work-year. I can't say enough good things about their talent, creativity, through-put, follow-up and support."

Check out Bill's storytelling here .

World Record 80 gigabyte photo! Gotta see it.

This is an 80-gigapixel panoramic photo, made from 7886 individual images. This panorama was shot from the top of the Centre Point building in central London, in the summer of 2010. We hope that the varied sights and energy of London have been captured here in a way never done before, so that you can experience one of the world's great cities - wherever you may be right now.  See it here.

I Love New York.
