issue-oriented design
Working with our client ECG Management Consultants, Vivitiv has devised several information graphics charting the complicated world of Medicare Penalty and Incentive Rules. Here are a couple of these graphics created to assist Medicare providers in understanding a complex trove of data points which could impact their decision making in years to come.
We recently developed a Frequently Asked Questions brochure for the City of Bellevue, including the BIGGEST question of all; Is it OK to put this thing in there?
Vivitiv just completed work on Changing Tack, Extending Corporate Leadership on Sustainable Development. This is the final report from The Regeneration Roadmap project, a global collaborative and multi-faceted initiative by GlobeScan and SustainAbility, which aims to provide a roadmap for achieving sustainable development within the next generation, focusing in particular on ways the private sector can improve sustainability strategy, increase credibility and deliver results at greater speed and scale.
A live webcast of the results of 18 months of research, interviews and a series of global salons was held this morning, and further information on the ongoing project, and the downloadable final report can be found at the The Regeneration Roadmap web site.

We do a lot of work on the environmental front, recycling, water quality, storm water mitigation, reducing your carbon footprint…this week we are putting some of that into practice. We’ve been going through our sample closet and have been paring down our vast collection of printed samples, sketches, presentation boards, tear sheets and project files of all sorts, and we have filled up an entire recycling bin. We’re not even halfway finished with our sample purge. We have been lugging around work from the past 30 years, work for all sorts of clients and industries, from financial services firms to entertainment companies to public policy organizations. Some of our samples have outlived the enterprises themselves, if you wanted a brochure from E.F. Hutton, a film festival program or thumbnails of a World Trade Center poster you’re out of luck. We hope that all of this design work will recycled into something useful and informative. And we’ll keep on creating work both online and off, with an eye to sustainability and a little less hoarding.
We just heard that today, February 7, is the birthday of Ronald Reagan and Zsa Zsa Gabor. Which for some inexplicable reason made us think of these birthday cards we designed. Royalty of a sort.
We received this lovely note of thanks after we spoke to the Design Professional Practices class at Cornish College of the Arts. It was our pleasure! A hearty thank you right back to Wendy Quesinberry and the students for having us!
We were reminded yesterday that our work with the City of Bellevue Utility Department on their campaign to reduce carbon emissions won an Education and Outreach award from the Environmental Protection Agency. We forgot to post about this a while back, but better late than never we always say.
It’s not often we get to use ornate typefaces. Face it, there just aren’t that many opportunities where the use is appropriate. But when commissioned to design collateral for the Volunteer Park Conservatory Centennial this year, we knew a Victorian-style crest would add to their messaging. And type that was favored by sign painters in the early 1900s would be perfect for this mark.
The Conservatory, located in Olmstead designed Volunteer Park, was actually constructed from a kit by Hitchings Company of New York. (An ad for a residential greenhouse by Hitchings can be seen here.) The Conservatory was completed in 1912 and consists of 5 houses: The Cactus House, The Bromeliad House, The Palm House, The Fern House and The Seasonal House which changes, of course, seasonally.
What’s that you say? You haven’t been there recently? Here’s your opportunity to see the Haunted Conservatory lit up for a Halloween evening event, October 31, 5-8 pm. Winners of a pumpkin carving contest will be on display along with a fortune teller, cider and treats for all. It’s one of Ciscoe’s picks. While you’re there, support the Conservatory. Purchase a Centennial logo sticker in the gift shop!
The Seattle Times has launched a controversial independent expenditure campaign promoting political causes drawing criticism from journalists and political scientists because it damages the credibility of the newspaper’s reporting and objectivity. Vivitiv saw this issue coming as far back as 2003 in our work with the Committee for a Two Newspaper Town, which at the time was working to keep The Seattle Post-Intelligencer alive. It worked for a while until the P-I ceased print publication and went to an all digital format in 2009. Here are a few of the ads we wrote and designed for the committee which spoke to the need for at least two newspapers in a community to keep each other honest and uphold their sacred trust to inform the public in an objective manner. Opinion and advocacy is fine…on the editorial page where it belongs.
