The Opening title is the unsung hero of pop culture. Encapsulating the mood of an entire television series with merely music, image, and type. It’s a testament to the power of design that such basic elements collected in a timespan of 30 seconds or less can permeate themselves in the minds of millions. As […]
Yup, I’m definitely not Catholic… so I didn’t really say any Hail Marys… sorry… but hey, it rhymes. There’s also some Pope stuff in the mix, so it’s relevant. Dude, I’ve been working for eight years. Five of them at the good ole ST8MNT BRAND AGENCY. AKA the best place in Nashville to work. Forget […]
Niice.co is an increasingly popular web application that allows users to search for design inspiration, sourced through popular design websites and blogs. (It’s also a place where one goes to look at cool stuff and say, ‘niiiiiiice!’ Pun limit—met.) For us at ST8MNT, it is used to find design inspiration, keep up with trends and […]
We had the pleasure of working with Shane Womack from Cheer! Daily on the creation of his Cheer! brand and the premiere edition of Cheer! Magazine. This was our first full magazine design, which differed from other projects in the 100+ page design category as those have been graphic-heavy coffee table books, and not 96 […]

During my yearly review in February of 2014, Bethany asked me where I’d like to go for my 5-year sabbatical. I asked her what does this trip entail? She responded with – and I am exaggerating – you can go sit on your ass for two weeks on some remote island and stare at the […]
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 […]
