We’ve been busy these past few months. We’ve completed several projects, started a whole load more, and have found time in between to do some personal and pro bono work. Not to mention launching our blog!
Greener
We’ve been concerned with sustainable design for a long time. Maryam, the studio eco-freak, has been cataloging, organizing and discovering new ways to offer earth-friendly design to our clients. While this is great and we’re happy that it’s a service we can offer, we thought it’d be useful to share some of this insight with the greater design world.
The new Greener section of ripe (which can be found here or by clicking “Greener” on the ripe homepage) lists tips for making your studio and/or design greener, and links to various green resources we find helpful or informative. We hope you’ll check it out and let us know what you think. It’s a work in progress, so please check back now and then.
Art of Peace
Backed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Art of Peace Foundation strives to foster peaceful discourse between China and Tibet. They’re in the process of releasing a CD titled Songs for Tibet – The Art of Peace which will be available for purchase on iTunes on August 5th, and at Amazon.com and other retailers on August 12th.
ripe was offered the opportunity to create the Foundation’s branding package, website and the artwork for their upcoming CD. We were happy to accept, and are more than pleased with the results. Check out their website, and stay tuned for more information regarding the CD release.
Blog
Last but not least, we recently decided to launch a blog… and here it is! We’ll be posting here now and then with information regarding new work we’ve completed and are happy with, upcoming projects, interesting techniques we’ve discovered, etc.
It’s been a busy summer so far, and it shows no signs of letting up. But at least being so busy keeps us out of trouble.
