Welcome to Tellwell’s weekly Plog (photo-blog)!
Happy Plog Day! A very full week indeed, let’s see what these Tellwellians got into! 🎉 🍀
This week’s writer
Time to design 🎨
Let’s take a look at some recent design team wins!
Recently, the design team had a few brand expansions, creating a system with additional textures, colors, fonts – you name it, they did it! First up, let’s highlight InterBel – one of our Montana-based Story Makers. We brought in several new elements, including textured mountain scapes, new website icons, and an array of colors and text styles.
Another recent brand expansion was for Enlightened Beauty – a beauty salon & spa that prioritizes inclusivity and creating a safe space for all in our community. Leaning into the colorful side of their business, we were able to bring in those colors throughout their branding, creating fun icons, eye-catching gradients, and bringing a cohesiveness to their brand as a whole. Being able to work and experiment with colors, shapes, and textures is always a fun way to brighten up a brand!
And the Oscar goes to . . . 🏆
Another year, another Oscar ballot winner! The competition was close with the top three participants all within 2 points of each other, but there can only be one winner. This year, Senior Design Strategist Sandie came away with the win! With 21 out of 24 selections correct, she won big – taking home the traveling Oscar award and a brand new Oscar award winning KPop Demon Hunter notebook. Congrats Sandie!
An unbirthday celebration 🎊
We also celebrated Project Manager Megan’s birthday this week! Even though she was out of office for her official birthday, we made sure she was still celebrated in the office. We shared chocolate chunk cookies and gathered around the kitchen island for some quality time! We appreciate all you do for us, happy happy birthday Megan!
Making films & watching them too 🎥
The film team had a healthy mix of creating films and watching them, too!
Midweek, we headed back over to Minnesota State Moorhead for another exciting video project. We talked with several students and faculty about an exciting opportunity that’s coming this fall. We bounced around campus to showcase different locations and we were blessed with a beautiful day to do so!
We also had our Q1 Ed-Venture (Education Adventure) where we attended the Fargo Film Festival! We watched the short documentary portion of the festival, seeing five unique documentaries. After we finished, we grabbed dinner and had deeper conversations about each. This also gave us time to analyze our own work and how we saw similarities, differences, and even things we want to try!
After dinner, we went back to the theater to watch the feature documentary for the evening: The Librarians by Kim A. Snyder. This was an eye-opening film and a great watch. This showing was followed by a Q&A with the director which gave additional insight into the process of creating the film and additional ways to support the cause!
That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming March 27th!
