A Cigar, Sweet Music & You




Less talk, more work.

This was done for Design Mark for the 17th Street Cigar Company in Bakersfield back in 2006.

Sweet Sweet Icons



Sweet Street Desserts is venturing into the world of the consumer and as such, is ramping up their brand to appeal to the delicate sensibilities of the rabid American shopper.

Here at Marlin, working with senior copywriter, Judith Garson, we put together the above 7-panel consumer brochure to be included in every outbound online order from the amazing Sweet Street confections factory in Reading, Pennsylvania.

The idea was to take a series of Sweet Street’s products and create photo-realistic icons reflecting the essence of the dessert.

I'll put up the complete series of images in a future post.

Up top are my favorite solutions to the problem. Below are sample pages for a Field Guide the network publishes to express the voice, tone and manner of the channel.
