This year’s Symposium in NYC was filled with creativity, inspiration, ideas, and karaoke.
Alan flew in from Los Angeles, while Matt came in all the way from Bordeaux. The Symposium featured a recap of all the work we’ve accomplished in the past 2.5 years (which is crazy to see all together), discussions on our current projects (sign up for our newsletter for updates), future client projects, company expansion and new co-op members, plus (most excitingly) what’s in store for our newest Incubator Project. Here are a few random Incubator ideas that leave you guessing:
+ Homeless sign redesign
+ Sockagawea
+ High school presidential race campaign
+ Yarn bombing the White House (sure to be flagged by the NSA on this one)
For the annual meetup we each created a poster in 30 minutes or less:
Then we donated the posters to the New York Street Art Fund:
The rest of the week we also met with some new clients, ate great food, spoke on typography, got to take a behind-the-scenes tour of MoMa’s design department from our friend August Heffner, and checked out General Assembly’s new digs in Union Square, courtesy of Mimi Chun.
Overall, a completely successful, wonderful Symposium that made me very proud to be working with such a talented and lovely crew and humbled me in the ever-growing canvas of NYC… we’ve already started discussing location for next year (St. Petersburg anyone?). Thank you to all that were involved or sent love from around the world.
It was fantastic to have all of you in town… OLH keeps inspiring a new breed of creatives to venture beyond the walls of agencies and into the wild yonder of something new, scary, and rewarding.
Thanks guys,
