Hello Dear Readers, I’m Bridget Brennan, the newest member of the Carrot crew. I’m extremely excited to become a part of what I believe is a company that has it’s head and heart in the right place. It is exhilarating to work with people who are spearheading social media marketing and are also some the most passionate I have ever encountered. I mean, hello, you can draw on the walls and not feel strange quoting Arrested Development. Although, I still… Continue Reading

What can I say, I’m partial to Rochester Institute of Technology alumni. Perhaps it was my time as a professor there, or maybe the tea-bar at Wegmans, or it could be the raw talent that comes out of the chilly northeast. Whatever the case, when I met Bridget Brennan at RIT’s Career Fair and saw her flawless work, I knew she’d be the perfect fit as the new intern at Carrot Creative. Bridget has that special quirk that Carrot looks… Continue Reading

Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re officially Hollywood big shots. Well, almost. After much anticipation, Carrot Creative has completed our first film site, and what better way to lose our film site virginity than with the cinematic adaptation of Tucker Max’s New York Times bestseller, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell? It all started when Tucker’s right hand man, Ian Claudius, first read about Carrot in Smashing Magazine’s fantastic post, Looking Back On 2008 With Top Web Designers. A quick phone… Continue Reading

I had the pleasure of attending a NextNY event last Wednesday with Carrot Creative’s own Kristin and Maury in Time Square. The Topic – Does Design matter to Startups? The discussion was led by designers Crystal Beasley, Kevin Kearney, Nicole Tecco Reece, Dagny Prieto, and Stefan Lawrence. The meet-up was to help entrepreneurs better understand the role of a design team (often looked at as a wild, type-loving troupe of hippies) in the greater scheme of things while running a business.
So, will bringing on designers really matter, or does having your product or service “work” outweigh how it looks? Here are some insights from the discussion.

TR3 released their latest album “Radiance” in January, and we had the pleasure of assembling the artwork for the band. Tim Reynolds had a pretty clear concept in mind, featuring an abstract photo he took himself while on tour with DMB last summer. It was a ton of fun hanging out with Tim, Mick, Dan & Tour Manager Fluffy (and Marcus Eaton Trio) at a show this past Fall, as we started work on the project, and a pleasure to… Continue Reading

We’ve had the pleasure of working with the Peter G. Peterson Foundation to launch a site dedicated to demystifying the national debt. Owen and Payne, brothers in accounting, take users through the haunting debt figures and explain exactly what it means to each individual American. While this is ridiculously scary, our team here saw the great opportunity in this to use comedy and social media to showcase the current situation and reach out to consumers on a less formal basis….

We just wanted to thank Dave Matthews Band & Redlight Management for asking us to design the download page for the track “Funny The Way It Is,” the first single from their upcoming album “Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King” (available June 2nd). You may have seen Dave and Stefan tweet the link earlier today- look for more Carrot/DMB work next week!

I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of the entire @CarrotCreative, for the positive feedback & numerous features of carrotcreative.com. We really had a blast putting together our site, and it was a great way to test out some ideas and technologies, creatively. We’ve been featured on numerous CSS sites (css WOW, cssimport, CSSclip, CSS Remix , to name a few) for inspiration to others. We’ve also been cited as an example for designing cityscapes (Lee Munroe) and… Continue Reading
