Have you ever wondered how you can turn 200+ costumed extras into a million strong dynamic living background? Well, Saatchi & Saatchi in L.A. hired Mr. Hide of the The Sweet Shop to bring us this sweet human-scape. Click here for the original commercial.
As many of you know, (via twitter ) we’ve been collaborating with the amazingly talented photographer Jeremy Cowart on his next re-branding effort. We can’t show you anything yet, but we hope to help Cowart launch his new look very soon.

Last week we won the Microphone for Youth contest thanks to votes from many of you. I’m told our Freedom Complex tee will be released in three weeks at Hurley.com. Check back for updates on it’s availability.
Thanks to all our friends and fans who voted for us around the world. As of 12:00am PST our design Freedom Complex tee finished in 1st place. Leave us a comment if you voted. We hope to send out a little something when the official word comes through.
At KENEDIK we primarily work on contracts for various apparel companies, but occasionally something comes along where we do something out of the ordinary, i.e. enter a contest.
I’ve entered this tee in the Microphone for Youth contest from Hurley.com and I really need your votes. If my design has the most votes by March 30, I could win $5,000 and have it produced. Another bonus: if new Hurley model, Bar Rafaeli, picks my tee … We could be taking a trip to California in the next few months.
TO VOTE: Click the shirt image above or here to take you to the tee. Next, click the signup link at right. After signing up, click near the Hurley logo at the top for the Microphone for Youth link, find my design again (Freedom Complex by Kenedik), and Vote 5 (Five ensures the most chance this tee will get made). As soon as you vote it will cycle through to other tees (so don’t keep clicking 5 or you’ll accidentally vote for the others as well). If you want to preview other tees in the competition, click skip without voting or go back to the thumbnail view by clicking the Microphone for Youth graphic at top.
Vote for KENEDIK and tell your friends to vote! We need all the help we can get. We’re working on a fun gift if we win, so leave us a comment here or at the Microphone for Youth site that you voted. Thanks !!!
While developing apparel for the Fall/Winter 2008 Burton line we found that graphic created for the Pass tee had potential to be used for much more than just the t-shirt. Below are some examples of the various ways the Pass design was adapted for use as the main garment label in all of the winter jackets and sweaters for the 2008-09 line. You’ll also see how the Mission graphic was adapted into a patch. Enjoy!
Here’s a look at one of our tees in use. This is the Don’t Forget tee for Jetty Clothing. Special thanks to John Desimas for making the lipslide look so good in our tee.
One of Jetty’s mantras is to just have fun. I designed this tee back in 2007 to reintroduce today’s skate/surf groms to one the ways people used to remember things back in the day before email, iphones and facebook. Don’t forget to have fun in whatever you do. -KENEDIK
Today I was honored to be one of the guest speakers at the AIGA Re:Solutions event at the Orlando Museum of Art along with Debbie Millman, Dan Rubin, Wright Massey, and Orlando photographer John Deeb.
It was great to hear about Debbie’s design resolutions which included research, honesty and preparation.
Wright shared some of his extensive experience building brands over the years from the Disney stores, Starbucks and his own firm, Brand Architecture.
Dan Rubin shared with the audience how they don’t have to be scared to design for the web and his love for typography (insider note: it really wasn’t Gotham you were showing … It was Myriad).
I was able to show part of my art and design journey designing magazines, books, apparel and the explorations of KENEDIK and Cameraluv. I was hopefully able to pass on my enthusiasm for what I get to do everyday, I’m very blessed.
John Deeb shared some intimate details about his break into the photography business. He also did a demo explaining lenses and the different photographic terms so that designers could have more competency in their interactions with photographers.
Thanks to all those who attended. Your attentiveness and willingness to laugh at our jokes made it a pretty great way to spend a Saturday. Thanks to the Orlando AIGA board (Sarah, Jeff, Kim, Bern, Daisy, Kelly, Zuley, Cliff and more) for putting on the event. I also want to thank the Senior design crew from Ringling who made the drive up to O-town to support one of their own.
AIGA Orlando is hosting a day conference on January 24th, 2009 at the Orlando Museum of Art from 8:30am - 4pm. I’m honored to be one of the guest speakers of this great event with other speakers like the amazing Debbie Millman, Dan Rubin, Wright Massey, and Orlando photographer John Deeb. Its a day that we get to challenge people to discard perceptions about small budgets, tight deadlines, and how to stop shortcutting the design process and start pushing ourselves even further. You won’t want to miss this!
