Whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on

Whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on

And over here at Clever, we don’t like it. Nope. Not at all.

There seems to be an incredible amount of earthquakes lately.

Horrible, destructive earthquakes.

Inevitably, this becomes a major topic of conversation,

“Did you feel it?”

“Where were you?”

“How big was it?”

 

The day after a quake, we all are eager to share our experiences.. but lately our thoughts
have turned not so much to where we were or how big was it.. but more so, what if one of
these quakes actually hit closer to us and the scary realities of an earthquake aftermath were
a bit closer to home. Which, living in California seems extremely probable.

As designers we are prepared.
We go to school.
We build a solid portfolio.
Before we meet with a new client, we do our research.
We cross our t’s and dot our i’s when we create artwork.

However, at Clever we realized we can’t say the same about being prepared for an earthquake or any other type of natural disaster.

So we made a decision.

By May 1st, ALL Clever Creative employees will be prepared for an actual emergency.

We’ve started doing a bit of research and as we suspected, there are so many wonderful and accessible online tools to make this happen!
Our personal favorite is http://72hours.org/build_kit.html

So easy. So simple. So important.

Buttertart writeup on Blackbook

.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on Tuesday 8th December in Happenings 0 comments

Buttertart, a hip bakery in Eagle Rock, (and coincidentally our favorite Canadian treat!) was written up on blackbookmag.com Clever was proud to help launch the Buttertart branding & logo earlier this year

“Andre Guerrero has big plans for coffee and scones. This used to be a funky, erratic neighborhood spot. When it reopens under his direction (with his progeny debuting as managers), it may become a destination. Good coffee will be a focus—obvious choice when Intelligentsia’s L.A. plant is down the street—and Guerrero’s pastry chef will provide seasonal tarts and loaves of bread, as well as the decadent Canadian treats the spot is named after. The small breakfast menu will bring the foodies in droves. Bacon confit. That’s all we need to say.”

Intelligentsia is our new favorite coffee shop on Abbot Kinney Blvd! Each cup of coffee is brewed fresh for individual customers by a (friendly) barista who takes you through the personalized experience.  The interior space is hip, modern, and industrial - and blends with the local architecture + neighborhood. (A nice point of difference from its Morrocan sister store in hipster silverlake)

Clever recommends the ‘La Tortuga’ brew from Honduras.

See Intelligentsia Website for directions and hours.
