a good portfolio™
After meeting so many concept artists, product designers, and illustrators who wanted absolutely nothing to do with the interwebs, we realized we could help. Being mostly students, they just didn't have the funds to commission a custom portfolio, but still very seriously needed one. We set forth a web application, to give these artists a professional portfolio, on a student's budget.
You can also check out the older version of A Good Portfolio. It was our first attempt, and though we ended up simplifying the idea a ton, but we still like the first design, so we're keeping it around.

tiny designers, big ideas
We read so many useful blogs, and after having talked about it for a while, we agreed we should have our own.
We wanted to make a place to share what we learn about business, design, and awesome stuff, and we wanted it to be personal. Our portfolio is a great example of one way we think: simple, concise, balanced. But our blog can show our more fun, intimate, and goofy side.
Check it out, we're sure you'll find something you like.

thegoodsideof.us
Our senior year of college, we had an opportunity – we could do whatever we wanted for thesis. We wanted to do something that made a difference, something that was bigger than ourselves, and might actually help people.
Thing is, some of the most moving things we'd ever experienced weren't that big a deal. When we found a stranger that did something nice, it changed the whole day, and more importantly, our whole perspective. We did some research, and found we weren't alone. We not only wanted to hear about these things, we wanted to make them happen.
One handmade website, one amazing event, and one senior show later, we realized we'd found a fantastic ideal, a fantastic team, and a foundation for the company you see before you today.

sunset cinema
Created as a spec branding exercise, we took Sunset Cinema, the outdoor walk-in movie theater company, and invented a system that fits their unique position in the movie theater market. We gave them a custom logotype (including a custom modified typeface), an identity booklet, business cards, letterheads, multiple advertisements, and food packaging. Sick.

the groop book
While working at The_Groop, we were given the task of inventing a book that shows prospective clients what they've done, and how well they've done it. We wanted a new way for them to represent their work in a way that makes it look really really awesome, instead of just screenshots with drop shadows. At first, they were weirded out by the idea of using photos of websites, but once they saw our photos, they were all like, "Nice!"

birdbath bakery
Birdbath bakery is an eco-friendly, super-delicious bakery located in East Village, NYC, with a sister shop in Brentwood, LA. As a pro-bono project, we gave them a new branding, with a logo, photography, and a website. As a thank you, they gave us some magnificent pastries. They were probably the tastiest pastries we'd ever met. Those were some fantastic pastries.

where's the milk at?
Find the cheapest groceries in your area. But, wait, there's more! By referencing what other people buy in your area, you can get recommendations on where to get the stuff you like cheaper, and which stores will save you the most money.
Built as part of the 2008 Rails Rumble, this sucker was designed and constructed inside 48 hours. The design ranked #5 out of 200+ entries. And of course, the project was more than design (can you believe this thing works?) – all the programming was coded by Chad, Mike, and Joe, some robots from the ever-impressive thought bot team.

westchester senior center
Ahh, the beginning. We met each other in college, see, and Information Design was the first class we all had together. The whole class worked on a single project: senior citizens have become almost an invisible class of people in modern society. Treated like children or cast aside, not unlovingly, but as if they were no longer useful. Ridiculous!
Together, we met people from the Westchester Senior Center, interviewed, played, and worked together, building a book and a collection of posters to bring a little light to the wonderful human beings we'd met.
