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. I’d like to share mine, with some thoughts. DSPN Designspiration is the closest thing to the next thing while not yet being the next thing. The next […]

After my initial 3 months at ST8MNT it is safe to say that I love my job…how often do you hear that?! I have wanted to work at ST8MNT for about 2 years now; my initial reason for wanting to work here was as a result of my love for their flawless creativity. Don’t get […]

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.

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 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 […]

Hello. I’m Zach, and I’m pretty new at St8mnt. I’ve been here for about a month doing design and web development. It’s been fantastic so far! I’m very grateful for the people I get to spend my days with. We work really hard here, but try to have a lot of fun. I’ve been here […]

This year it seems as though the holidays are approaching us at a speed unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before. The ST8MNT calendar is filling up with Christmas parties quicker than our mailbox is filling up with holiday cards (which is quick). If that’s not stressful enough, we have resolved to buy actual presents this […]

Since about 2006, the motion graphics scene has seen an anachronism in emperor’s clothes: The Explainer Video. What began as rock drawing pictographs on paleo cave walls has become the bread and butter of any young motion designer. It seems everyone has been trying to corral the genre giving names such as: Animated Business Card […]
