2008 was a historic leap year. Possibly the biggest moment was the election of President Barack Obama, while events such as the summer Olympics in China, Fidel Castro’s resignation, and (how could you forget) the New Kids on the Block reuniting made the year even more unforgettable. The design monkeys at Rule29 busily worked on books, web, social media, video, brands, packaging and some other memorable creative matter. One of our favorite 2008 historic moments was beginning our work for Life In Abundance, which included our inaugural trip to Africa. Since then our work and our perspective on what truly matters has changed, and we discovered if done correctly, creative can help save a life and change the world. Check it all out here.

2006 was an exciting year for Rule29. Lots of cool experiences, opportunities and recognition. From creating Mr. Cato and traveling the country to tell his story, to designing and helping curate the American Red Cross 125th Anniversary Art book, to working with DC Comics in creating the Superman Returns collector’s edition, to hitting up the New York Stock Exchange and witnessing the bell ringing of a big listing for one of our favorite clients, to working with Rand McNally illustrating and redesigning a school atlas, and so much more.
