FRW Studios

A damn fine design studio

[frwstudios]

It’s so fun to see the evolution of initial idea into a finished product! Sometimes things turn out just how you envisioned (like our holiday card!), other times they go in new and unexpected directions. Either way, it’s important to trust the creative process. 🎄🍾🎅🏻🥂 #graphicdesign #creative #marketing #orangecounty #socal #smallbusiness #creativeagency #frwstudios #damnfinedesign https://www.instagram.com/p/BriY33plJxS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ok0w1kyv0wwn

FRW's partner @lancewhite attended the ribbon cutting for @flippeddoughnuts in @danapointcity this afternoon. We had a great turnout to celebrate having such a great business here in town! Our mayor, Richard Viczorek, representatives from @senatorpatbates office and @billbroughca, Dana Point council members and board members from the @danapointchamber were on hand too! Get down there and enjoy their amazing #doughnuts and #friedchicken! #DanaPoint #DanaPointChamber #OrangeCounty #ambassador #awesomedoughnuts #donuts #SmallBusiness #RibbonCutting #Flippeddoughnuts #PCH #FRWStudios #damnfinedesign (at Flipped Doughnuts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boutwj8A65n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7hlmkcpxdf4

Happy #newmusicfriday !! At FRW, we LOVE music, like really love music. Music sets a mood, a tone, takes you back to a time or place. It gets you through workouts and breakups and everything in between. It fuels our creativity on a daily basis and for that we are thankful. Today is a great day with new album releases from some of our long-time favorites @catpowerofficial and @cursivetheband .  These are both gorgeous new albums, each so different, to usher us into the weekend, and the fall! And if you didn’t get to listen to Chan’s live performance with her band on @kcrw, I highly recommend you check it out, she played some of @korowotny’s personal favorites from way back. Cheers fellow music lovers and #TGIF! . . . . . @dominorecordco #wanderer #vitriola #cursive #dominorecords #indiemusic #music #indie #indieartist #independentartist @beerfoodmusic #graphicdesign #design #creative #creatives #designers #inspiration #smallbusiness #husbandandwifeteam #danapoint #socal #socaldesign #socalcreatives #damnfinedesign #startyourownbusiness #entrepreneurs (at FRW Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/BokFZf3g2y8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w40iybrejcq6

We believe in individuals. If we were all alike life would be boring as f@#k. Nothing like going through another box of business cards and needing to reorder. #graphicdesign #businesscards #businesscardsdesign #mooprint #mooprinting #roundcornerbusinesscard #roundcorner #oneovertwo #uncoated #recycledpaper #orangecounty #danapoint #yourcreativedepartment #print #logo #frwstudios #danapointchamber #danapointchamberofcommerce #DamnFineDesign (at FRW Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/Boh_OmSg_MF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xl17kod1numm

@byonic from @epiciris speaking to the #wombats #bni group on the importance of online video. Did you know that after watching a video, viewers are 64-84% more likely to buy? #video #adobepremiere #motion #vision #DamnFineDesign #epiciris #frw (at Back Bay Conference Center)

Your Creative Speaks for You - Make Sure it's Good. Damn, good.

Your Creative Speaks for You – Make Sure it’s Good. Damn, good.

Lately, we’ve been rewatching The Office on Netflix. The first three seasons have been great a second time around. Those of you who watched it know that Pam Beasley wanted to be a graphic designer instead of working at the front desk. From the clip below, you can see what you pay for creative is what you get. With FRW Studios you’re…

Do Big Marketing Agencies Make You Feel Small?

Size can matter. A lot. But when it comes to marketing, big agencies can make you feel pretty insignificant. FRW Studios is what the industry likes to call a “boutique” agency. We’re a small company that helps other companies get bigger. Being small means we’re fast. Responsive. And not burdened with expensive overhead. It means we give you the time and attention you need.

Taking the "stock" out of stock photography

Taking the “stock” out of stock photography

A time and place for stock photography Stock photography is an interesting beast. There are some design puritans who consider stock images to be low-brow, the artistic equivalent of fast-food hamburgers: cheap, readily available, and empty of nutritional value. Other designers use them exclusively, finding them to be a cost-efficient way to quickly communicate concepts and emotions. I am a…
