Experience the latest creative matter imagined by Rule29. CM 30 features a selection of our work in Africa, our involvement with an organization supporting veterans, and our consistent exploration of story and wonder, just to name a few. Watch some of our innovative video work, read about our most recent promotional work, and interact with some of our latest online and mobile app creations.

Always on the lookout for new ways to communicate the offerings from our studio, we developed our 30th newsletter installment in three formats: the traditional PDF, as an iPad app, and now for CM 30, we are introducing an HD version of the app for all those with Retina display iPads. So download one, download all!

As Fall winds down, grab some hot cider and take a creative tour around the world with us via Creative Matters® 30. Let us know what you think of any and all the versions.

Thanks,

In our world, when anything that references the number 29 comes along, we tend to make a big deal about it. With this being the 29th volume of our Creative Matters newsletter, we decided to provide another way to experience it with our shiny new iPad app. Since our last installment, we have been up to a variety of new promotions, campaigns, mobile apps, books, and much more. What better way to share it all with you than with this new interactive read? If you have an iPad, please download this app for free. We would love your feedback on it and your overall experience using it.

As we all get ready for spring to turn into summer, for our allergies to hopefully die down, and for baseball season to kick into high gear, please take some time to check out the two great ways to interact with Creative Matters®:

We’ve been up to good stuff this sweet, steamy summer and are excited to share the highlights with you in the latest issue of Creative Matters^®, Volume 28. From new branding strategies, print collateral and glossy pages to good karma websites, hot apps and social media boosts, we’re happy to report that variety really is the spice of life.

At the top of our list comes our work with a leading academic institution, where we’ve developed a new branding strategy along with a full suite of shiny new print materials. Speaking of new, we’ve unveiled a few fresh websites for our friends at JOYRIDE and O’Neil Printing. In keeping with the hot summer spirit, we also helped design MarketDelta’s new Heat Mat App, a perfect tool for those interested in gauging the performance of top stocks and funds. We had the honor of creating three new book covers, and even challenged the concept of worthiness with a breathtaking book of photographs from MacDonald Photography. Lucky for us, we also managed to squeeze in a few healthy getaways to recharge and work on a great tan (have you seen Justin lately?).

There’s more to share and you don’t want to miss a look, so get your issue now and enjoy Creative Matters.
