‘Honor the Spark’ at the AIGA St. Louis Design Show

A few months ago, AIGA St. Louis asked local marketing, advertising and design professinals to show them what sparks their work and their creativity. The judges - Lotta Nieminen, Aaron Becker and Allan Peters - have waded through and reviewed submissions to uncover the passion projects and pieces from some of the most creative and innovative minds in St. Louis. And now, it's time to unviel that work with a celebration.

Tomorrow night at COCA, celebrate with peers, meet with the judges and 'honor the spark' at the AIGA St. Louis Design Show 18.

The AIGA St. Louis Design Show is an event that we look forward to every year, and we can't wait to mingle with industry friends and view all of the exhibited work produced from this stellar creative community. Learn more about the event and RSVP on Facebook.

It’s (Another) Boy!

Here's a bit of trivia - All of the children of Atomicdust staff members are boys.

And the trend continues with the birth of John August Dixson. 

Taylor and his wife, Ellen, welcomed their second son on March 2, 2013. Baby John weighed in at 7 lbs, 8 oz, and both baby and mommy are home and healthy. We think he's the spitting image of his father, Taylor! 

Congrats to Taylor, Ellen and big brother Henry!
