828:design teamed up with Daniels Graphics to help Adobe InDesign users understand the ins and outs of file preparation for print. Chris led the course along with John Hart and Tim Bryant of Daniels Graphics. Keep your eyes open for other free seminars offered by Daniels.
In an ongoing effort to give back to the community of design education, 828 hosted design students from both Western Carolina University and AB Tech Community College for studio tours and portfolio reviews.
828 is proud to sponsor Hatchfest 2010 by bringing the the film Art & Copy to the Fine Arts Theatre during the four day festival (April 15-18). Art & Copy is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry.
In support of design education, 828 hosted students from AB Tech College for a studio tour and talk. For them, it was a real-life look at the inner workings of a design studio. For us, it was a reminder of why we love what we do.
For the sixth year in a row, 828 has produced the Annual Report for NOAA’s Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP). This edition was special in that it’s the 10th Anniversary of the program. CDMP is responsible for archiving national (and some international) climate related data that dates as far back as the 1700’s. This is both a print report as well as a DVD presentation. We partnered with Bonesteel Films of Asheville, NC to produce the video.
Jim and Tom recently attended the Lessons in Leadership event in Asheville. Speakers George Fleming and Chip Madera had the full house pumped up.
We’ve recently had work published in the Big Book of Green Design. Our logo and stationery system for Winter Green, of Asheville, NC can be found on page 152.
Winter Green is a non-profit organization focused on sustainable food production during the winter months. The organization helps set up and maintain (and teach about) hoop-house food production for local schools, individuals, and various other groups.

In the interest of bringing awareness to the subject of sustainability in the field of graphic design, 828 has joined The Designers Accord. The Designers Accord is a global coalition of designers, educators, and business leaders, working together to create positive environmental and social impact. By adopting the philosophies and guidelines of The Designers Accord, we intend to keep on open dialogue with our clients about environmental and social impact as well as sustainable alternatives. We’re also working hard to reduce our own carbon footprint and educate ourselves on new technologies and materials as they become available.
