Mapping Creativity
I’ve always loved maps. Anytime a book has a map I spend hours pouring over it, imagining the world that is represented from that idealized bird’s eye view, seeing relationships between places that enhance and deepen my understanding of the story being told. When I travel I always study maps of the place I’m visiting […]
A Better Way Diagram
As a visual content production company, we produce a lot of great work, but we don’t talk about it enough. Much of our work is created in a vacuum and after a project is done and delivered, I hate to admit this, but it’s often out of sight, out of mind. That’s going to change. […]
Kaki King at the Ferst Center for the Arts
We are never short on ideas for “cool” projects to work on. Whether those ideas can actually pay the bills is another matter though.

Masterack Photo Library Shoot
The day started with a massive car crash on I-20 heading east from Atlanta to Social Circle, GA. Luckily we were not part of the crash, but when something like this happens, it’s easy to feel like it’s a bad omen for the day. Once we arrived at the Masterack manufacturing plant, all worries were […]

The Case of the Russian Book Trailer
When I first started at Mixed Bag Media I had just spent over 15 years in the world of animation and motion graphics (“Broadcast Design,” as it was known in the 90s and early 2000s). The world of documentary-style promo production was new to me, and while it was exciting to learn about a new […]
Earth Day at 50: Everything’s Different – Nothing’s Changed
