I had the pleasure of judging design student portfolios for the 2012 AIGA Portfolio One on One Event. It was a great experience, and truly a tough job to sort through all of the great work and select winners for the four different scholarships. I wanted to take a minute to show off the work of Cody Mehlhlorn, recipient of the Clockwork Interactive Scholarship.

This month, we show our ongoing support for the Family Equality Council with our May wallpaper highlighting their Night at the Pier celebration.

April was a busy month at Clockwork. We hosted an ArtCRANK family pre-party, had a visit from some impressive clients, and experienced the usual combination of fun and work on our monthly lab day.

Flow Visualization and The User Experience

Successfully condensing work that typically takes 6 months into 24 hours requires a few things: an engaged not-for-profit, a good process, a focused and collaborative team, and not surprisingly, well-spaced shots of caffeine. Luckily, our team had all four. 

Clockwork offers a new $1,000 Interactive Design Scholarship as part of AIGA Minnesota's Portfolio 1-on-1 Conference. 

This month’s wallpaper is an homage to and call for rain. With barely any winter, and then summer arriving in March, we need it! Meteorologist Paul Huttner says, "Average rainfall won't do this year. A good 4" to 8" of spring rains is what we need..."

Thanks to everyone that joined the Clockwork crew in celebrating our ten-year anniversary, and thanks to our community of clients, friends, and family for making the last ten years so memorable.

A brief recap of the Best Pitch event at the U of M, and some shots of the beautifully handcrafted gift that we received for presenting.

We Minnesotans made it though the winter relatively unscathed: threatening megabilzzards failed to materialize and we hit 45° in February. As disappointing this all was, we're still eager for the upcoming spring season. Bring on the slightly warmer, and probably soaking wet, weeks to come!
