EPIC Contributions

According to EPIC, For every creative who has the desire to give to a cause, there’s a cause in need of creative.

EPIC, which stands for Engaging Philanthropy Inspiring Creatives, helps creative professionals and nonprofits join forces, making a bigger impact on the world than either could alone. Starting August 3 the next group of Art Directors, Designers, Photographers and Copywriters will gather once a week for 2 months to design various print and web materials for one of three nonprofit organizations.

Amongst the 3 rally teams, McGuffin Brendan Shanley will be participating on one as a designer.

Not Just Bright Ideas

Last week we took it upon ourselves to get handy and remove some of the unsightly boxed florescent lights in our kitchen and replace them with these lovely hanging coned lights. A partial afternoon including a trip to the local Ace Hardware, tools, electrical currents, energy efficient light bulbs and a couple cold ones from Goose Island made for a wonderful learning experience. Luckily no one was electrocuted during this installation. We could not be happier with our new lighting that gives the room much more character and also a much better view of our awesome high wood ceilings.


Love the space you work in.

Getting Fresh with AIGA

On Wednesday, April 9, 2008 AIGA Chicago held their annual Fresh Talent event.

Fresh Talent 2008 highlights the work of three young Chicago-based female designers: Sue Daly, Dawn Hancock and Alisa Wolfson. The discussion centers on the city we call home as the three designers publicly reflect on their work and place within Chicago’s design history. Rick Valicenti of Thirst moderates, and asks each designer to begin their presentation by identifying a designer or designers who have come before them and with whose spirit theirs best aligns.

The presenters had much to share about how they came to be where they are now. With over 150 in attendance, many were inspired and set off to continue conversations afterwards. In attendance, as a volunteer for the event, was McGuffin Brendan Shanley.
