They don't show dirt and they are striking from a distance. For my concept, I was inspired by the idea of Scottish Clans; which is kinda how it feels to be a biker, part of a prideful community ... a family, really. So I created a "plaid" made out of bike chains. Part punk rock/part braveheart. In girls and boys colors.  <img src="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/cargo_jersey.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="900" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/cargo_jersey_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/jersey_girl.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="308" width_o="899" height_o="414" src_o="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/jersey_girl_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/jersey_boy.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="308" width_o="899" height_o="414" src_o="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/jersey_boy_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/jersey_crest.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="351" width_o="900" height_o="472" src_o="http://payload1.cargocollective.com/1/4/131726/2324540/jersey_crest_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://www.kellymunson.com/Blu-Dot-Advertising http://www.kellymunson.com/following/kellymunson.com/Blu-Dot-Advertising Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:28:57 +0000 Kelly Munson 2197497 Modern furniture advertising is a sea of clean lines, stark minimalism and let's admit it, photo shoots that would have any art buyer blushing. But Blu Dot isn't like most modern furniture manufacturers. They have a sense of humor and a Midwestern humility that called for a different kind of campaign. Using royalty-free stock images, we created an advertising campaign sure to stand out in the pages of Dwell. Clever headlines and almost ironic backgrounds are a nod to the company's "don't take itself to seriously" mission.

There, I designed and printed posters for art shows and personal projects. Recently I moved my business to Highpoint Center for Printmaking where I am part of a cooperative of working printmakers.

We returned with an idea to create a new line of papers based on every designer's heros, Ray and Charles Eames. We worked with Neenah's manufacturing team to create papers inspired by the Eames interests; architecture, furniture, and painting. All the colors and textures for the line were inspired by a visit to the Eames' home in California. We designed swatchbooks, advertising and sample books to demonstrate the paper's usability.

Inspired by a YouTube video in which a woman performs Prince's Dirty Mind in exchange for a chair, we wanted to see how far people would go in exchange for their favorite piece of Blu Dot furniture. We created a forum for offbeat, gross and some mind-blowing trades people were offering up in trade. What resulted was the ultimate time suck, with people spending nearly 9 minutes per site visit. See all the wacky trades here.

They asked mono to create a campaign that would encourage people to visit the store. Having always been interested in the practice of "curb mining" we concepted a project that engaged New Yorkers and the country alike. We affixed GPS units to 10 Real Good Chairs and placed them on the streets of NYC. We watched as one by one, the chairs were taken to new homes. We followed along and made a film about the new owners. Watch the film here.
