Get A Move On...

From November 17 to December 31 visitors can wanted through this enchanted forest and enjoy a model train display, wind-up toys and other vintage holiday favorites. Visit the Museum's website for more information.

Broadway Breast Banners
Too much alliteration?
Probably.
It's October, believe it or not. That makes it Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the second year in a row, Trampoline is proud to design breast cancer awareness banners to hang on Broadway in Saratoga Springs. The Saratoga Imaging Center, a Trampoline client, is committed to spreading the word about potentially life-saving scans and simple tests that can aid in early detection.
If you're concerned about breast cancer, talk to your doctor. If you're over 40, have an annual mammogram. If you're in the Spa City this October, look up.

A Budding Exhibit
This spring, the Berkshire Museum plays host to a different type of artist: the Floral Arranger. These skilled artisans from floral shops throughout the Berkshires will festoon the Museum with clusters, bouquets and garlands of beautiful flowers. Below is the mark for the event, designed by Raeanne—who knows a good arrangement when she sees one.

Still The Sagamore
The Sagamore Resort in Bolton Landing is the place to spend the holidays.
Across the snow-dusted bridge holiday memories and magic await:
* The delicate clink of glass, a toast to the years ahead.
* A roaring fire that warms, while fragrant evergreens romance the air.
* Hot mulled cider by candlelight or toddies and music in the cozy environs of Mr. Brown’s Pub.
* The eastern sun, dancing on the crisp, Adirondack snow, gently stirs you from your winter slumber.
* The morning’s first coffee awaits in the Veranda.
The majesty of the Adirondack mountains and the incomparable beauty of Lake George, beckon.
Snowflakes swirl in a wintery dance, the bellman calls a cheerful goodnight, and the door opens, welcoming you to the tradition of days gone by, and the magnificence of The Sagamore at the holidays.

A Jump from the Tramp
Sandra Hutchinson: mother, columnist, camper, worrier, and writer—is about to publish a book. Trampoline has had the good fortune to work with the Chronicle, the paper for which Sandy writes, in the past. We got the nod to design the cover for Jumping Off Cliffs and Other Short Essays, due out before the 2007 holiday season. Here, you'll find a sneak peak at the artwork. Hutch: thanks for taking the leap—can't wait to read it.

EVERY GOOD THING to RUST
Not to sound like the braggart three barstools away who annoys the hell out of you, but...
We know a film maker.
Yep, mmm-hmm.
No, serious. He's a friend.
He's actually married to a woman that works here.
How cool is that? John Yost, the RIT educated (go Tigers) film phenom is putting the finishing touches on a feature length movie.
EVERY GOOD THING TO RUST is, as described on the website: a dark, eerie portrait of social meltdown, that questions the loyalties of friendship and challenges any illusions of safety and order.
Sean was lucky enough to snag a DVD for a director's-cut preview in late summer and thinks John is one talented guy.
He's also lucky—John married a true designer. Raeanne has put a beautiful face on the film, and launched a simple, stark website. This project was in the works long before she came to Trampoline, and we can't take credit for any of the work, but we certainly have an appreciation for the kind of creativity and drive needed to pull off a project like this one.
That said, we're pleased to host the film's premiere in the unfinished, exposed-brick, so-raw-it's-cool space behind our office here at 196 Glen.

WAYFINDING SIGNAGE >>
Just a quick post to show off the latest project for a client up north: the Saranac Lake Library. Back in 2004, Trampoline worked with the library on the design of a permanent exhibit. The creative focused on the work of Charles W. Dickert, an Adirondacker who helped furnish the original great camps with all types of rustic accoutrements. Mostly items invloving antlers or hide or glass eyes. Or all three.
This time the project was wayfinding. No one wants to get lost in the Adirondacks—least of all in a library. Check out the directionals below. We're especially fond of the lumberjack-in-the-elevator icon, and the hiker decending a staircase icon.

Derek: The Design King
Nice invite dude. Anytime you can work a crown into the design—you win!
This particular request for attendance went out to Hedge Fund Managers, Self Made Millionaires and Philanthropically Inclined Partiers in Manhattan. The benefit will take place on the 5th Floor of Saks 5th Avenue sometime in October (no we're not saying when). The proceeds from the event—featuring an alice + olivia designer showcase, custom shirt fittings, chocolate tastings, and Bobbi Brown consultations—will go to benefit the Double H Ranch in Luzerne, a longtime Trampoline client.
We were told that this was an easy sell, since this particular circle of wealthy twenty-and-thirtysomethings are looking for ways to help their favorite Hole-In-The-Wall camp upstate. Which was great for us to hear, as the ranch is a marvelous place.
