Last evening, February 14th, the city of Aberdeen celebrated the most romantic day of the year with one of the most unique film festivals around. The Fischgaard Short Film Project was hosted at the Capitol Theatre in Downtown, featuring an array of incredibly creative and bizarrely fun and funny movies. Congrats to our pals Shaun, Matt and the crew of 49 Hour Films on their win for technical excellent for their film The Foxhole Club, a movie mash-up of Forrest Gump and The Breakfast Club. Full of great on-liners and beautifully shot war regalia, this short is a must see.
They even let us in on the fun. Congrats to Nathen for his win of best poster design voted on by the audience at the event. Here’s a look at the poster. Props to Shaun for the great photography work and thanks to everyone who voted.
Great event everyone! See you next year, hopefully with another awesome poster for your viewing pleasure.

We’ve been hard at work on websites around here. Seeing them set live to the world is always a thrill. Here’s our newest design creation for Carrels Dentistry. The website features a ton of useful information for current and potential patients, an appointment scheduler, and even a kids corner! (Our favorite for sure.) Check it out at www.carrelsdental.com and let us know what you think!

When you’re dealing with matters of Feng Shui, you need a business card that mimics your work. That was exactly the challenge brought to the Production Monkey designers. After a bit of research into the matter, and a short office consultation from Karen, this beauty of a business card was born. The best part – turnaround for design and printing was only about a week.

It’s been a busy few months around the office. Can you tell? Our last blog post was on September 24th. Since then, our main office was painted, the bosses’ birthday was celebrated, and over 1500 miles have been put onto the trusty Honda Civic, a.k.a. The Monkey-Mobile. But the best part about the past few months? We’ve been launching websites! Here’s some info about one that just went live.
We had the opportunity to work with Subway of Aberdeen, Groton, and Huron to create three corporate looking sites that offers the visitor a chance to catch up on the latest local happenings, the ability to place their order online, and even apply for a job. Plus, the sites update the local daily specials automatically and offers the viewer a valuable coupon that changes every few weeks.
Check it out, print off the coupon and use it when you visit any Subway in Aberdeen, Groton, or Huron. Say Production Monkeys sent you.

It’s that time of year again, the season of Autumn has landed in Northeastern South Dakota. And everyone knows nothing goes better with Fall than beer. So our friends at the Aberdeen Downtown Association are hosting the second annual Brews and Blues beer tasting and live music event. They came to us again this year and asked us to take charge of designing the postcard, poster and tickets. The overall design we came up with is playful and old-worldly, with a hint of modern design thrown in. Enjoy!

Talk about quick turnaround. The Aberdeen Area Arts Council approached us recently to create their 2009/2010 Arts Season brochure. The catch- they needed it in-hand in two weeks to send out with a big mailer we were helping to produce. What did that mean for Nathen, the designer of their material? A quick client meeting, a few short lunches, lots of Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon, and one late evening.
We received the brochure request at 4:30 p.m. on a Friday and had the first polished proof to the AAAC by Tuesday morning. Their executive committee gathered and ecstatically approved the new look. By the following Monday, the brochures were in-hand, stuffed in envelopes and mailed Wednesday. A week and a half turn around-that’s what we do.
