Surviving a week of Jim Riswold

One week in. Got off to a slow start here in Portland but things are looking better now that I’m finally out of a hotel and situated at my apartment. Tomorrow, I’ll be spending my day lurking around the Portland landscape. Maybe I’ll finally remember to get a shower curtain…

Jim Riswold on Lord of the Flies

All of us at WK12.7 stayed in late last night to finish up our Lord of the Flies presentations. Here are the 3 reasons that our director, Jim Riswold, had for us in reading the book. Are you a creative working in a team environment? These rules may (do!) apply.

Shayla Hason aka DJ Safi of WK Radio

While on our introductory tour of the Wieden+Kennedy building, us WK12.7ers had the opportunity of meeting Shayla Hason (aka DJ Safi), who helps run WKE Radio. One of our future tasks at WK12 is help create a radio segment. Definitely excited.

"We're here" doormat at Wieden Kennedy Portland. By WK12.7

As an offering to our new home for the next year, we at WK12 decided to create a doormat for the kind folks at Wieden+Kennedy. Class for us hadn’t officially started, but we thought that it would be a good idea for us to get the year kicked off with this crafty not-so-little gesture. 13 mats representing each of us in the group. Butane romance all day long. Not a bad way to let them know that…well…We’re Here! As soon as I get rhythm with the WK12 blog, I’ll be posting all WK12 related work on there first. Stay tuned. The process is shown below.
