Interrobang Design Collaborative, formed in 1997 by Mark and Lisa Sylvester, is a Richmond-based graphic design studio specializing in branding, packaging, print and internet communications. Among the clients for whom they have provided innovative design are TDK Electronics Corp, Dartmouth College, Summit Wealth Group, and Switchback Brewing Company.

Recently the company made contact with Nova Natural Toys + Crafts of Williston which offered an opportunity for Interrobang that led to an innovation in their approach to working with their clients. Nova already had an in-house design staff but felt the need for more specific expertise. Since last summer, the collaborative team from the toys and craft company and the design company has created a slew of new marketing materials for Nova as well as a re-designed web site. To see many examples of their work for Nova, and other Interrobang clients check out their colorful and very chic website: interrobangdesign.com. Interrobang has recently been contributing time, pro bono, to OneRichmond.

Blast from Our Past...Emigre Magazine

We received an email on January 5th from Rudy VanderLans, the man behind Emigre, the legendary font foundry and magazine. He is working on "Emigre #70: The Look Back Issue.", a 500 page "Best Of" book. He is reprinting [in it's entirety] the interview he did at the Cranbrook Academy of Art with Kathy McCoy and the students [including Lisa and Mark] in 1991. He had to recreate the layouts from scratch because they were originally produced in ReadySetGo! which he can no longer open...

He needed a high-resolution image of Mark's PetLamp poster, which was featured in Emigre No. 19: Starting From Zero.

The imaging was done with video camera and image capture card in a Mac IIfx, and edited using Adobe Photoshop 1.a and Aldus FreeHand. The lamp was designed by fellow Cranbrook classmate John Davison.
