Full Frontal. Graphic, Too.
Cool is subjective - in my opinion a cool T is based on brand relevance, it depends on where it comes from and where it’s going. A bad T is a design that exploits current predictable pop culture art / design trends. I think a brand should represent its own original vision.

Shape What's to Come
I don’t know about you, but I think that being a woman, or a girl or a chick or whatever you prefer to call yourself – is pretty awesome.That’s not to say life isn’t full of challenges, but women in their twenties or “Millennials,” as the researchers like to call them, literally and figuratively have the world at their fingertips.

A Little Help
Sam and Mary have lived in Braddock, Penn., for years. Right now, they live with Princess, their dachshund, in the same house that Mary’s grandmother called home decades ago.Sam and Mary are now both in their mid-60s. Sam works from 6 p.m. to midnight most nights. And without his help, Mary has a hard time getting around, especially moving up and down the stairs in their house to let Princess out to do her business.Without a fenced-in yard, Princess can’t go outside unless Sam is there to watch her.Sam and Mary needed a little help.

Bullying. Bad – No Matter What.
What was it – five teens committing suicide in the past few weeks as a result of bullying? And those were just the ones that we heard about.These tragedies occurred because the bullies believed their targets – the victims – to be gay. But no matter what you think about a person’s sexual orientation, you have to agree that bullying is bad.

An Award-Winning Levi’s®...Condom?
A Levi’s® customer or employee in South Africa is about 10 times more likely to be infected by HIV than their counterparts in most parts of Asia, Europe and the Americas.That’s a sobering fact.And it’s one of the reasons Levi Strauss South Africa worked with us at Matchboxology to launch Red for Life, a highly influential – sometimes controversial – communications campaign to drive HIV awareness. And save lives.Red for Life featured celebrities, musical artists and Levi’s®-branded condoms. As the pictures below illustrate, the campaign continues to make an impact, even five years after its launch.Why?

What's in Store? A Lot, Really.
The folks at the Levi’s® brand are, understandably, well known for the amazing product in their stores. Makes sense, right?And as they expand in the retail world, they’re also becoming known for the stores themselves.If you’ve had the chance to visit the brand’s flagship in London, you know what I’m talking about. It, too, is amazing. And now, an award winner. Make that awards!

So Happy, I Could Dance!
It’s fun to partner with someone…fun. And funny. Like Ellen Degeneres.
If you saw her talk show yesterday, you probably noticed that Levi’s® Curve ID jeans received plenty of attention. She started the show off in typical fashion – dancing. And wearing her favorite pair of Levi’s® jeans.
And what did she have to say?
