White, of course!

That's great, but... Do you like boys or girls?

We are lovable people and love everyone, but not in a hippie kind of way.

That's great, but... What is your favorite kind of donut?

Ryan prefers a raised, custard filled, chocolate topped donut. With coffee, please.

Lucas prefers just the coffee. In a 24oz mug, if you must.

That's great, but... What's the deal with your studio's name?

Good question, but we only answer this question if it is asked in person. If you really want to know you will have to invite us to dinner.

That's great, but... Will you teach us your magic?

Depends. What's in it for us? We like beers and money. Actually we would love to give back to the educational community. But be prepared, we don't believe in the 'show and tell' style lectures, mainly because too many people have bored the hell out of us when we were students. We have a list of people that we refuse to share a drink with until they apologize.

Just kidding. But seriously, please contact us if you're willing to make us an offer we can't refuse.

That's great, but... Mary Ann or Ginger?

Surprisingly we both prefer the Skipper :)

That's great, but... What is your typical day like?

We spend a lot of time on ichat and way too much time on phone calls and writing emails. It always surprises us that we are able to get any real work completed throughout the day.

That's great, but... Will you hire me?

It's pretty unlikely. Not that your work isn't amazing, your use of color and type is the best we have ever seen. It's just that we are really small and elitist. Don't be sad, we love when you send us your stuff, and we do collaborate on unpaid projects such as our zinebook, MORNING. So totally keep sending us your stuff.

That's great, but... Can I be your intern?

Maybe. Do you like to do hard work for no pay? Are you unafraid of a low ceiling basement where you will pull a squeegee several hundred times? If so, you could very well be lucky enough to be graced with our presence.

That's great, but... Do you like goats?

Hell Yeah we like the black ones.

That's all we wrote... Back to start

we want to make the world a better place where everyone can live healthful and enjoyable lives.

we are advocates, movers, and shakers; seeking justice and equality for those who have been exploited and disadvantaged.

we like little people. (not little in size, but little in scale.) we recognize that often the smallest voices are the most important.

we have done work for local bands, non-profits, and helped out friends with personal projects. good design doesn't need to be expensive - but it does need to be intelligent.

raw//love

it would be an oxymoron declare our humility, but we can say that we value this quality greatly.

we also love simple and elegant solutions to visual problems, and always search for the clearest yet deepest; most rich yet most elegant; modest and simple solution to the design problems we are faced with each day.

Morning the simplest zine morning.synth.tc

we care about trees. and resources. and energy. and we strive to keep that in mind with every project we begin.

it is the nature of print design that consumables are used, but we strive to use processes which are as nice to our non-human friends as possible.

relation//eco

we work to create design that is cross-cultural and beyond the boundaries of language.

we are intrigued by the amazing sophistication and detail included in simple international airport signage. replacing written language with universally recognized symbols is an amazing accomplishment.

we are observers. sponges. we are amazed by the peculiarities of our world, it's social systems, and culture.

we believe that good conversation only occurs if you listen, and if you are attentive you will learn things that you could never expect.
