Savannah Development and Renewal Authority (SDRA) began production in late April on two 30-second commercials focusing on Downtown Savannah. So “no”, those camera crew sightings around the squares and landscape downtown are not for the upcoming Hanna Montana movie - but they are all about the wonderful, personal and sensory experiences of our very own Downtown, and feature among other residents - our very own Stephanie Edwards of American Idol fame. Production continues through May and the commercials will air in June.
We continue to have a wonderful time collaborating with Karl Strauch of the Coastal Marketing Group on this project. Check out our photos to take a sneak peak of the action.

We made it. Five years in business! And what better reason could we have had than to throw a party? On November 19, we had our first Open House / Client Appreciation event to celebrate this milestone. We couldn’t have done it without you – our clients.
We appreciate all the clients that were able to stop by our office. If you missed it, you missed a great time - if we do say so ourselves. We have proof others had fun too - just check out these photos our photographer, Bunny Ware, snapped.
A special thanks to those who helped make our event a memorable one: Zunzi’s – what a great feast. The chicken was a hit! Papillote (French Carry Out To-Go, coming soon to Broughton Street) – the sweets could not have been more delicious or visually tempting. Thanks to our print vendors, Accurate Lithography and Digital Image, for donating raffle items. Lucky winners were Hansen Architects (design services), Cay Insurance (printing), eMarket South (iPod Shuffle) and Papillote (poster print). Bill Smith, guitarist – thanks for the musical tunes; and finally, Eufloria for the floral arrangements.
We are grateful for the love and support our clients and friends have given Clark Creative over the years. We are looking forward to continuing this relationship for many more years to come. Thanks again – and cheers!

Remember Scooby-Doo? How could you not, right? Close your eyes for a minute and picture the Mystery Machine…the glorious van which transported the ghost-hunting team on its shenanigans. Remember the flower power wheels? The free-flowing type? The shag-a-delic color scheme? (in the event you weren’t allowed to watch cartoons as a child, click here)
Well, it seems a lot of people in the design world are remembering these same visuals. Over here at Clark Creative we’ve noticed 70’s & retro-inspired pieces popping up all over the web, direct mail and typefaces.
We recently purchased a House Industries font for a campaign, and the promotional pieces which arrived with the font are groovy examples of this retro epidemic. House is promoting its Street Van font kit, about which they say:
Whether you’re taking a weekend trip to the beach or just out “trollin’ for tuna,” the Street Van’s six “hopped-up” typefaces have the power to leave your competition laggin’ and the looks to leave ‘em gaspin.’
We also stumbled upon the Nike Vintage site, whose opening animation is….that’s right…a van! The site is a gold mine for 70s throwback goodness. You can download wallpapers, iron-on t-shirt art with slogans such as “Hell on Waffles” and Macho Makers, which are actually printable mustaches. Who can resist the Handlebar?
Steam Whistle Brewery out of Ontario utilizes a vintage fleet of vehicles to promote & transport their product. “The Steam Machine,” in particular, was inspired by the aforementioned Mystery Machine.
We’re not quite sure what sparked this van craze. Maybe its an age thing…with many of today’s designers having grown up in that era, they could be pulling from childhood memories. It could also stem from the media, with movies such as Semi Pro in theaters. Whatever put the van pedal to the metal…we can dig it.

Everyone blogs for different reasons, but in the end it all comes down to one philosophy: Sharing.
On the Clark Creative blog we will share our ideas, our process, our passions, our personalities…all so you can get to know us a little better and see first-hand how awesome we are. No, we’re not full of ourselves, we have actually been dubbed “awesome” by the kind people over at MyEmma…we have a medal, so its official:
We’ll share tidbits like how Cari drew inspiration from a charity trip to Guatamala or how Melody cared so much about making a client happy, she created a custom plaid for his packaging!
In the world of creativity, anything is possible and everything matters. This philosophy is what we plan on sharing with you.
Enjoy our blog!
