CES Las Vegas 2012

If you have had the pleasure of attending CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas, then you understand why it is such a big deal.  As stated on CES’s website (http://www.cesweb.org), “With more than four decades of success, the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) reaches across global markets, connects the industry, and enables CE innovations to grow and thrive.”  With exhibitors such as IBM, LG, Sony, Microsoft, Audi, and Ford, this show is the ultimate in electronics innovation, and attracts attendees from all over the world.

40to1’s owner, Chad Antos, had the opportunity to join the crowd of spectators, and visited 40to1 clients: Wrapsol (http://www.wrapsol.com/) and Sonos (http://www.sonos.com/).  Take a look at some of the snapshots that Chad caught, just click on the image to view larger:

A Photo Can Say a Thousand Words

Engaging designs are produced from a perfect formula of creativity, inspiration, and independent resources.  An important resource is a reliable photographer since one of the most important elements in graphic communication is photography that exudes a specific idea or reaction, and most importantly, interprets and produces your creative direction.

For the last 2 months we have been building a strong and vibrant campaign for our client Legacy Sports International, concentrating on their new 2012 Catalog design which centers around an active way of showcasing their product. Our goal for this job was to create a raw yet striking look at gun products, and we knew in order to achieve this look we had to hire Jeff Dow Photography.  Our art direction strayed from the typical presentation of hunting and mountain scenes, and instead broke the mold by using urban backdrops, timeworn architecture, and Nevada’s own desert terrain.

Below is just of taste of what 40to1 Creative and Jeff Dow Photography produced, just click on each image to view larger:

Creating a Legacy

We at 40to1 Creative have been awarded the opportunity to branch out into a new marketing demographic, the hunter.  Having a home base in the Reno/Sparks area has given us a creative advantage in the hunting community; being surrounded by desert, mountains and valleys that spur sheep, bird, and deer hunting has created and maintained this popular sport.  40to1 has worked with hunting clients in the past, most notably Chad Belding and his Banded Nation, and let’s not forget his prevalent shows, The Fowl Life and Dead Dog Walkin’.

So you can imagine when we were given the prospect to work with Legacy Sports.  A Reno-based gun distributing company doing business on an international level is a client we are thrilled to work with.  Legacy Sports sells quality guns such as Howa Rifles, Escort Shotgun, Puma Rifles, Vernoa, Citadel, and Nikko Stirling- to name a few.  Visit their website at http://www.legacysports.com for more product information.

We will keep our followers updated when the new Legacy Sports branding campaign is completed.

We Truly Enjoy Our Clients

David Wise

40to1 Creative has had the pleasure or working with a variety of clients, ranging from transportation companies and TV show personalities, to national retailers and local government agencies.  We at 40to1 Creative believe that a diverse set of clients keeps the juices flowing, the inspiration cloud floating, and our creative passion pumping- needless to say, we like to create amazing things.  This brings us to our latest client: David Wise, Freestyle Superpipe Skier.

David Wise is a local guy making a big deal nationwide.  And we were excited when Wise asked us to design a website to promote himself to his sponsors and fans.  40to1 is no stranger to dynamic design, and that’s exactly what we centered David’s “brand” around.   A combination of David’s light-hearted character, his rad tricks in the pipe, and his vibrant approach are reflected in his website, and custom Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages.   It wasn’t hard since Wise is pretty dynamic himself.  David could be coming off an ESPN highlight the weekend before, and then enter the office with the most humble, respectful, and grateful attitudes.  Among David’s long list of accomplishments and podium appearances, he recently made the U.S. Freeskiing Halfpipe Team for the 2014 Sochi Olympics- Congrats David!
