Thinkhouse is on a cloud with the Wavedrum

31_korg_wavedrum_adsKorg USA recently came to our house and asked us to design a national print ad campaign for their new electronic drum, The Wavedrum. After pulling in Awards at NAMM for “Best In Show” and 2 prestigious 2010 Musikmesse International Press Awards, this is one HOT product.

That made it easy for us to utilize world class drummers having fun with the Wavedrum.  Musicians used descriptive words like “expression”, “feel”, “playability” and “sensitivity” to describe the Wavedrum, so the word cloud concept fit perfectly.

If you like banging out some rhythms even if it’s on pots and pans, you must try this – it’s totally addicting; a lot like designing for one of our favorite clients!

We Love Rubber!

RubberRadio_blog_080509I love anything completely covered in rubber … especially when it plays music.

The Tykho Radio – This simple and modern radio does one thing and one thing great … play FM and AM stations! Old school, baby! Zen like, this simple design and functional radio is covered completely in rubber. Perfect for when you have to get a good grip to whip it across the room in frustration when the client asks for the forty third revision.

Get your here!

My future office…viva la Tonke!

tonke_blog_080509Campers are usually ugly, but not the Tonke Camper from Holland. An eco-friendly camper, that’s handcrafted with polished mahogany fittings, teak wood floors, porcelain sinks and fully chrome faucets.

Even better, after you’re done with your trip you can detach the camper unit off the van chassis to serve as a stand alone office (or room for the mother-in-law).  I can see it now, cruising down highway 66, blogging from my Tonke office via wifi while cranking Freebird and feeling … free as a bird!  Well, maybe i wouldn’t exactly crank Freebird.

Notes, doodles, list & more…

FiledNotes_blog_080509“Inspired by the vanishing sub-genre of agricultural memo books, ornate pocket ledgers and the simple, unassuming beauty of a well-crafted grocery list; FIELD NOTES offers, “An honest memo book, worth fillin’ up with GOOD INFORMATION.”

I love these little note books! And they have these great pencils with little green erasers.
