College football in the South. Life and death for some, and the epitome of annoying for others. Most of us here at ST8MNT love SEC football. We have three University of Tennessee grads here. In all of our “what happened over the weekend” talk on Monday mornings, besides groaning about the Vols’ lack of offense, […]
As the token writer around here, I don’t have a whole lot to offer you in the way of design advice. I know when things look like crap and my expertise pretty much stops there. What I can tell you about, though, are things that you should read, because that’s what I spend most of […]
Last week Instagram dropped their latest relic: a time-lapse / image-stabilization hybrid. We were immediately amazed at how simple it was … here’s expecting a beautiful Tumblr to show up somewhere in about 36h featuring the new effect. Source: WIRED Download Free App Now
Every designer has their own way of going about their day to day tasks, and they also have their own conditions as to what constitutes constructive design inspiration.

The saddest day of the year so far was a few weeks ago when the season finale of Games of Thrones aired on HBO. I’m going to have to wait 9 months for new episodes. This is entirely too long. That’s as long as it takes a baby human to grow from conception to birth. […]
Lately we’ve cruising on super-f’ing-busy-mode, but we’re taking a little time to share some new finds. I want to take us south-of-the-border and shed some light on some impressive and inspirational design making its way out of Mexico. Sadly, sometimes Mexico goes unnoticed when it comes to thinking of the international design scene. In discussion […]
We recently worked with Fusion Management on a Lady Antebellum show poster that was part of the VIP ticket package. The band was performing a charity event benefitting the Ronald McDonald House in Augusta, GA at the Lady Antebellum Pavilion. The kind folks at Fusion wanted something illustrative — and something that could match the […]
In case you haven’t heard, Nashville’s tech community is booming. With companies like Emma, Lonely Planet, Github and even Google leading the way, Music City is quickly becoming the Silicon Valley of the South. This is great for people like me… a designer who writes code. Web development is creative problem solving at its finest. […]
This year ST8MNT brought three new employees into the fold — we’d like you meet them so you can know how great they are (we’re like a proud mother hen clucking over all these good eggs). It’s a good mix of hires: one account-side star (with mix-tape experience), a designer/developer with natural-born Nashville style, and […]
