Some Things Just Go Together

This is the only time of year you can get away with combining a drinking game and a children's game under the guise of good times. So have a Happy Holiday and cheers.

Consciously Social

AllFacebook.com recognized AND 1's Facebook page as one of the most explosive pages on the social network this week. All Facebook may consider itself the unofficial Facebook resource, but we consider it officially awesome for appreciating our hard work.

That's a Wrap!

Frank helped Friends of Trees take their message on the road with a custom car wrap. Now they can Plant it Portland, Plant it Vancouver, and Plant it everywhere in-between.

Philosophically Faster

When a technology goes beyond materials it becomes something more. The ME8 Sovereign Mid features And1's L2G (Low to the Ground) Philosophy. When you reduce the distance between your foot and the floor, you can react quicker, cut faster, and let instincts takes over.

Train like a Baller

We upped our game to show the training side of the And1 Downtime. Kamp Grizzly killed the graphics while UFC Fighter Nate “Rock” Quarry showed Lamar, our baller, how quick feet go beyond the court.

Goodness, Wellness, and Flying Cats

Frank teamed up with our local friends Flying Cat Coffee Co. and Sol Pops to spread love and wellness at the hippest hangout this side of the river. We created a fun door hanger that lets local neighbors go on in and enjoy 2 for 1 Organic Drip Coffee and Sol Pops organic fruit popsicles. The Flying Cat is the only place in SE you can pick up a Sol Pop. We always knew this cat was cool.

Strength in Numbers

Coming up with an idea is just the beginning. Moving forward requires a strong team that offers support through the entire process. The Outdoor Industries Women’s Coalition is a non-profit association that helps women involved in outdoor industries become successful through networking, mentoring, and educational programs.

Frank Creative’s founder, Sue Parker, was asked to be part of a dynamic group of panelists that discussed making business decisions and upward management at a recent OIWC event.

The panel brought real-world insights to the social and environmental issues that local women will face in the outdoor industry. The discussions ranged from individual accountability effecting group success to creating a better work environment through positive actions.

Masala NW

By blending the natural ingredients of Oregon, Masala NW brings a unique take to traditional Indian cooking. Our new website weaves the visual aesthetics of the two cultures into an expression of Masala itself – a blend of the culture and cuisine.


In India, elephants symbolize power, patience, wisdom, success, prosperity, and benevolence. To the Northwest, salmon symbolize wisdom, growth, power, and venerability. Together they create a new creature native to the Northwest, the Salephant. Check it out at www.masalanw.com!

Friends of Trees Gets Friendlier

With the neighborhood planting season right around the corner, Friends of Trees was looking for a fresh, new way to talk about trees. So we brought the fun. We engaged local illustrator Amy Ruppel to create some great art for our campaign. She’s one of a handful of local artists gaining national recognition and putting Portland on the map. Now she’s using her friendly characters to put smiles on trees.

So come on, Plant it Portland! Let’s all discover the good things that grow on trees!

Be Lo-Qi

Frank teamed up with Kamp Grizzly to create this 45-second spot for And1's new off-court collection.

And1's Steve Blake is a Laker

That's right, our athlete literally changes the look of an entire franchise. Let's see you do that LeBron.

AND1.COM Gets a New Grill

Frank Creative gave And1.com a face lift and a new platform to add and display its products online. Dynamic homepage CTAs suck you in while sleek product pages make you drool. It's just another step towards awesomeness for the re-emerging shoe brand.

SLP Service becomes The Hello Foundation

SLP Service needed a fresh website to stand out among its competition. We threw in a new name and a story to go along with it. Now The Hello Foundation's website is more than a resource. It's an introduction to the world.

A fully editable CMS allows the folks at The Hello Foundation to add new content daily. There's no limit to the good they can do now. Check 'em out.

Girls Inc.

Frank donated it's time to Girls Inc.'s Power of the Purse charity auction event. We created the event program and helped out with powerpoint presentation in both copy writing and design.

Affinity Property Management

A few spreads from a brochure for Affinity Property Management group. One of my favorite layout projects to work on.
