Wednesday words of wisdom by Harlan Hambright

This is a Saul Steinberg cartoon from the late 1940s. The fellow was a genius. I used to study his cartoons in the New Yorker when I was but a youth, This vignette serves as an example of how a modest illustration can communicate complex ideas with simple techniques. In art (and advertising), the idea or message is the point. Getting that concept across to the audience is always the assignment. Calling Steinberg's work "cartoons" may seem to demean the importance of his art, but he was an efficient communicator of very subtle concepts and observations. His work should be considered by folks in the visual communication business.

Friday Foto: A Transferred Tradition

I've been blogging since 2004 and almost since then have been publishing weekly a 'Friday Foto'. Things got busy and it died down, but now it's coming back... Are you ready?

Today's photo is fresh out of the camera. Shot just this morning, right behind the old Spankies Marshide off of 17. This a is a single image, with only minor lighting adjustments made. I love old docks.

Stay tuned next week for the another addition of the Friday Foto.

Not Just Design!

h2o creative group is SO much more than just a design studio, marketing/advertising agency or photography and web group. We pride ourselves in having several valuable resources IN-HOUSE to aid in creating unique solutions for our clients. Case in point:

Our client Peachtree Pest Control, the southeast's leader in termite and pest management, asked us how they could set their service and sales staff apart from the rest of the industry. How can Peachtree be placed on the cutting edge? We put our wet heads together here and came up with a winning solution; a mobile app for their service and sales reps to carry on calls.

h2o completely custom built and designed the app in-house. We then installed it, along with a complete custom user interface, on eight android-powered Samsung tablets.

The app gives the service reps valuable information on detailed technical procedures and home construction types, as well as serves as an aid in pitching various services to clients.

Want to take your business to the next level? Mobile Apps can be truly amazing for your business. They can be used within your company as a tool (as Peachtree is doing) or for your customers, in an attempt to better their experience. We can build apps that do all sorts of things! Update your clients with news/offers, integrate forms, gather useful feedback; the possibilities are truly limitless.
