Millenniata. Timeless branding for a lifetime storage solution.

Write once, Read Forever Millenniata approached V2Works to help create a brand around a revolutionary storage solution they created. The product is a disc-based storage solution that archives files in a new way, creating discs that can be frozen, soaked and baked and still retain their data. V2Works created a brand around the concept of etching in stone, since their product boasts a 1,000 year life-span and because their product actually etches into the disc.

New Year, New Projects

Every year for the past few years, I've tackled new projects come the new year. I guess you could call them resolutions, but I don't really care for the word resolution, because to me it sounds like a chore, whereas a project sounds like something fun and interesting to do. This year my project is based on photography; it's something I love, but I haven't been taking photos as much lately in my off time and it's something I miss. So, together with a group of other people, we've all committed to taking 7 photos every week for the entire year, otherwise known to us as 7/52. Hopefully by the end of this year I'll have learned something new and reinvigorated my love of photography, as well as have some [...]

It's been cold here in Seattle, and we've had some of the biggest frost I've ever seen in the last week or so. I went out early Saturday morning to take a few shots in the early morning light.

Case Study: Marten River Lodge

Case Situated in one of the most picturesque wilderness areas in Northern Ontario, Marten River Lodge was a well-kept secret for much of their 88-year history. Opened to the public in 1925, they had maintained their rustic appeal with full hunting and fishing accommodations, but were finding it difficult to strike the balance between family resort and sportsman’s paradise. When V2Works was brought in, we identified the key challenges they faced, and established a game plan for an updated identity, new website, refreshed property photography, and engaging marketing collateral. Strategy The first step towards the new Marten River was capturing exciting new photography of the expansive beauty of the property, which V2Works did by traveling 3,000 miles to the wilds [...]
