Annual Report 2008
“To design is much more than simply to assemble, to order, or even to edit;
it is to add value and meaning, to illuminate, to simplify, to clarify,
to modify, to dignify, to dramatize, to persuade, and even amuse.”
FREELANCE creative director
celebrating 30 years of creative excellence.
creative consultant in concept and strategy.
Former creative director.
20 years experience in the business of printing.
12 years experience in information architecture.
retail packaging expert.
BASEBALL COACH and dad.
gene’s last name is The russian-language word
meaning colorful or painted.
Who am I?
For over thirty years, I’ve been asking the same question of myself – with
no answers. Well...maybe an answer here and there. Like...I love to design –
for any one or any company or any organization – accomplishing projects
properly and having a lot of fun along the way. And...I’ll always take you
with me (even if you decide to kick and scream).
I also listen (just imagine!). And dialogue. And pride myself on the ability
to impart intangible or abstract concepts in a manner which is easily
accessible by your intended audiences.
I also love to write. What did Mark Twain say about words? Oh yeah, “The
difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference
between lightning and lightning bug.” So clever...and so right.
So, what’s my position on creativity? It resides in the eloquent quote on the
cover, by Paul Rand, and it says it all: design (and content) must add value
and meaning.
Now, if you don’t know who Paul Rand was, or why I’m quoting him, the
next time you see the UPS, ABC or IBM brands, you’ll know. Mr. Rand was
a Professor of Design at Yale, an author, loved graphic design like no other,
and got the best three-letter clients in the business. R.I.P.
But – I’ve always had great clients, too – even though only a small portion of
those clients are represented in this 2008 Annual Report. I am grateful to
them, and all the clients I’ve ever guided and served, for allowing me to
open doors to new viewpoints and new ideas.
What have I done?!

Is your brand out-of-shape? Our all-in-one, brand-revitalization product
contains all the essential & micro nutrients to give your brand the renewal
“shot in the arm” it needs.
But why do you need it?
Because – I know you’ve been looking at your tired old brand (for how long
now?) and hoping no one has noticed, right?
Because – at an ever-more-alarming rate, consumers are becoming sophis-
ticated in what appeals to them, whether a company, product or service.
There’s a very good chance you’re not fooling anyone – except yourself.
Ask these questions – Does your brand lack:
8 Consistency and therefore strength?
(consistency defines a company’s character and personality)
8 Formalized messaging?
(direly important in marketing and therefore sales)
8 Alignment between look and feel?
(when someone says “I think...”, what they’re really saying to you
is “I feel.......Are you listening?” )
8 Freshness?
(“not new” always reflects on products and services)
Gene is an expert at creating new brands, uplifting out-of-shape brands,
expanding existing brands into new territory, and moving brands forward.
It’s time to “pump it up,” “stretch it out” and give your brand the deep-
tissue massage it needs – and have fun doing it!
