Next Korner’s next Monday, November 3

On the eve of Election Day 2008 we’ll be hanging out at Stumbling Monk. Business as usual for Designers Korner, which DK hosts with friends on first Mondays at our favorite Belgian bar. We’ll even do an exit poll.

What is Designers Korner?
Sometimes it’s a bunch of us. Sometimes it’s small. The point is to get […]

Jazzy Moving Pictures

The Earshot Jazz Festival is on right now, but there’s something coming up at the Northwest Film Forum that I thought would be worth a look.

‘Jazz Animation from the Hubley Studio’ will happen Saturday, November 1 and Sunday November 2 at 5pm. In the past, Design Kompany’s written about jazz and writing, so it’s […]

DK designs a web site for insurance, financial service company

Recently I caught up with one of our most exciting clients, Garima Gupta of Gupta Insurance & Financial Services.
Nice to learn how the brand identity we created for GIFS last year is working out. People are starting to identify with the logo, and things are going well.

‘Walk:’

A lot of people marvel when we tell them we don’t have a car.
Feet are useful, but so is public transportation.
And speaking of public transportation, two local nonprofits—Allied Arts and Seattle Architecture Foundation—will host a seminar next Monday called “Moving Seattle Forward: A Transportation Vision.”

Here’s who’s coming:

City of Seattle hosts open house Tuesday on future of Pike/Pine

Since the spring, city staff and arts organizations as well as local commercial artists like us at DK have been convening to talk about whether the arts and real estate development in Capitol Hill […]
