The Sunday, November 25th issue of the New York Times features an article on NY3D, a program created to encourage great design through different events throughout the city. Seed’s Albert Azout, Hyun Kim, and Michael Ventura are among the founding members, as well as on the board of NY3D.

As part of NY3D, professional architects and designers are collaborating with high school students in an effort to renovate school classrooms, halls, and offices. N.Y.E.D. (New York Education and Design) is also working to help raise the $1.5 million necessary to carry out the renovations.

Our creative director Michael Ventura was featured in a Business Week article, regarding Behance Network.

“Unlike public social networks,” says Michael Ventura, Behance member and creative director of New York ad agency Seed Gives life, “This has an organizing principle. It’s strictly for the [artistic] community. That’s an important control to a niche network.”

Behance Network is a site where creative professionals can network, share feedback on current projects, and look for jobs. Many creative professionals utilize sites such as Behance because the members are strictly creative professionals, as opposed to the overwhelming variety of members on other social networking sites such as myspace.com, where it is hard to stand out and be recognized.

The November 6th Issue of the Daily Variety Magazine featured DEWmocracy, a campaign that Seed is involved with at Mountain Dew. DEWmocracy is an interactive website that encourages people to “create the next Mountain Dew” by choosing the flavor, color, name, logo, label, and even the tagline for the next Mountain Dew beverage. This poster is one of many that Seed has designed for the Dewmocracy project, which are now appearing in 12 metropolitan markets around the United States. The entire article can be viewed here.
