Vote Travel’s Amazing Illustrations

Who’s on a roll with Vote Travel?

The U.S. Travel Association continues to trek across the country on their coast-to-coast Vote Travel bus tour. We've recently blogged about our bus wrap design and their successful Twitter strategy, but we also wanted to share a few recent designs we've created.

We work with talented, creative clients every day, but it's worth sharing when a client allows our team to unleash their full creative potential. Below are a few recent examples of our custom design work for Vote Travel.

Here's a sample of one of the designs we created for Vote Travel's website:

Man’s Best Friend: Coworker

NJI Media’s HQ is in the heart of Old Town, VA, a top dog friendly destination. With more than five dog parks, Old Town welcomes dogs with open arms and so does NJI Media.

A man’s best friends should be welcomed at the workplace, and we’ve enforced this policy from the start.

Having a pet with you at work allows you to balance both your personal time and billable time.

Studies have shown the benefits of having a canine friend at the work place.  It reduces stress, increases productivity, and increases the communication level amongst others.

One zettabyte: that's a one, followed by 21 zeros. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. A trillion gigabytes.

This is the amount of data we - all over the internet, all over the world - consumed in 2010. In 2011, that number jumped to 1.8 zettabytes.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Basics

Search Engine Optimization : it sounds both mysterious and unseemly, and from time to time, we run across an SEO practitioner hawking his secret sauce. Promises of top ranking overnight sound too good to be true.

We Imagined Ourselves Better Bowlers. We Were Wrong.

Last week the NJI Media team took a field trip to the bowling alley.

After one game, it was clear that none of us had bowled in a very long time. And after game two, it was confirmed that none of us should quit our day job.

The winning team, Team Comrade, was comprised of Natasha, Josh, Brendan and Derek. Team Plaid and Team Whatevs did not fare so well. To protect the innocent, scores will not be posted online.

Next time we're using bumpers.

Derek, Alex and Ryan line up to bowl. Nobody got a strike.
