Updating your design: A spectacular summer success story

The press is in love with reporting horrible things. I’ve even written about many issues that have been affecting my clients but have always tried to see the silver lining. Reports on the economy, oil spills, war, taxes, and human heads found on a plane do wonders to keep us from being optimistic about what’s [...]

Rush to the imbroglio en masse: Avoid design at your own risk

I’m quickly approaching the 15 year mark working in this evolving world of design, advertising, marketing or whatever-you-may-want-to-call-the-new-mash-up-of-things. I absolutely love what I do, which is really only helping businesses (aka people) introduce themselves to the world. I’ll develop an identity to a veterinary clinic that will serve the local community. I’ll create a website [...]

Dropping Bombs – Trust & Purposeful Design

If there's ever money to be made, people will try to game the system. One of the most asked questions I hear from new clients is how to get traffic to their new site.

That's why everyone is trying to game the system. And that's why everyone is wrong.

Just launched Shake Hands with the Devil, in theaters September. The feature film Shake Hands with the Devil, based on Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire’s award-winning book, is directed by Roger Spottiswoode, and stars the highly-esteemed actor Roy Dupuis as Dallaire.

Wasting time on the twittery socially networked bloggy book.

Everyone is talking about how the next big thing for your business is getting yourself on the next big webby 2.0 social network. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, bla diddy bla bla bla. Don’t get me wrong – social networking & blogging sites are immensely valuable tools. In many cases, they have replaced how companies already [...]

“Departures” wins Academy Award for Best Foreign Film

Congrats to "Departures" for winning the Academy Award® for Best Foreign Film. J Wright Design was proud to work on the site for this movie and can't wait to see what comes next. "Departures" is a delightful and sensitive excursion into the heartland of Japan and an astonishingly beautiful look at a sacred part of Japan's cultural heritage. Going to be a big day today!
