This was by far one of our funnest projects yet!
Melissa is an incredible photographer who came
up with a great concept- Model for a Day.

Since teens are her target audience, we needed
something cool, and something that would also
appeal to parents too- promoting building self
esteem and confidence for their child.

We chose a mini-menu because it wouldn't take
up much counter space at local businesses, and
it could easily fit in a purse, or even a back
pocket. Plus, it is just plain fun! We used bright
colors, heart details and an appealing block style
layout to compliment the logo she currently had.
"To Be, Rather than to Seem." We love this motto, not to mention that it is the NC State motto. All too often Advertising
companies get caught up in the "sex sells" and "if it bleeds it leads" of it all.

We choose to keep it real, take the high road- the more enlightened path. We believe that if you really know your target
audience, you can find the common ground that really appeals to them…blending real passions and common needs to reach
that common goal. It’s about a targeted image- an educated approach. It’s something that you sell or provide because they
have a need. And more importantly, something clients can be proud to support for years to come- not just as the trends change.

Perhaps the most effective thing in business…and in life, is to make it simple and keep it real.
And don’t forget to add some passion.
