Bing Design has hit the ground running. Despite the year of 2009 being so turbulent, we still provided excellent service, produced top quality print and electronic work for our clients, and created a refreshed identity for ourselves. We have put together some of our featured work for the Hermes awards coming up in February, and we invite our followers to view our portfolio showcasing many of the elements of marketing.

Not only do we look back, but we are looking forward! We have been keeping our eye on trends for the year, but the best way to predict the future, is to create it.

So, we are approaching 2010 proactively! Diving into the latest new media, engaging followers in the many channels of social networks, and collaborating with our clients to communicate trends and best practices that we feel can integrate in their respective industries. All this and still providing time for our Bingers to stay as flexible as yoga masters.

Looking back at the processes and marketing materials we have designed to take shape, we expect to have a good run with many of our valued partners and clients in the coming year.

Cheers to you 2010, we are bringing original ideas and adding value to them!

In support of a local creative project, I’m copying parts of a recent email here. Help spread the word…

The Xenia Mural Society, a component of Greene Giving, is issuing a Call to Artists for original and creative designs for a mural with the general theme of “Trails” to be placed on a building in Xenia. For this mural, “Trails” can be interpreted loosely to include anything historical or currently relative to the Xenia area from buffalo trails to Native American trails, Pioneer trails, early roadways, railroads, hiking, or bicycling or any combination of these.

The honorarium for the winning artist’s design for the “Trails” mural will be $500 and the design will become the property of the Xenia Mural Society.  The final mural will be completed by a muralist working in conjunction with the winning artist and the Society. If the selected artist has the ability and desire to complete the actual mural he or she will be encouraged to submit a proposal for the entire project. Given current economic conditions, the Society is working to have a “brush ready” project prepared in order to facilitate creation of a mural or murals as soon as funding permits.

The deadline for submission of up to three detailed sketches per artist is July 1, 2009. Finalists will be asked to submit a full color rendering on suitable material, no smaller than 24″ in width, which must be received by August 15. An application form should be submitted with each set of sketches (available at www.XeniaMurals.org). Final competing designs will be displayed for public comment at Xenia’s Rail & Arts Fest on August 22. The winning submission will be announced at Xenia’s Old Fashioned Days, September 19.

Several possible sites may be viewed online at www.XeniaMurals.org. There are currently two buildings whose owners have agreed to discuss hosting a mural. Building 1: Montgomery Insurance and Investments, located at 114 S. Detroit St., has a side wall space of approximately 75X25′. Building 2: Express Yourself Coffeehouse and Art Gallery, located at 78 E. Main St., has a side wall space of approximately 75X14′. All or part of the wall surfaces may be incorporated into the rendering.
