Greenrock: Bring Your Own Bag and Bottle Campaign

Proverb designed a "Bring Your Own Bag and Bottle" campaign to promote sustainable living in Bermuda. High impact, low budget products extended the campaign beyond traditional media and transformed consumers into ambassadors of the charity's mission. The promotion conveyed the environmental implications of waste and overuse, and gave consumers and retailers a chance to take positive steps.

Myers + Chang

Informed by temples and noodles, the logo for this pan-Asian diner fuses disparate influences to form a funky Chinese diner, a novel concept. The Myers + Chang ads appeal to a young and price sensitive demographic, conveying the restaurant's irreverent attitude and aesthetic. The signage implements inexpensive materials in inventive ways, using cut vinyl in an unexpected and impactful fashion.

Amusing Ourselves To Death, Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business By Neil Postman

Amusing Ourselves To Death, Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business By Neil Postman:

Here are some interesting quotes from this book to chew on today….

“Our languages are our media. Our media are our metaphors. Our metaphors create the content of our culture.”

“For although culture is a creation of speech, it is recreated anew by every medium of communication… Each medium, like language itself, makes possible a unique mode of discourse by providing a new orientation for thought, for expression, for sensibility.”

“The clearest way to see through a culture is to attend to its tools for conversation.”
