Some clients we find at networking events, some find us via an old-fashioned Google search, and some get referred by existing clients. Then there’s the last category - folks we’ve known personally for ages and that's where things can get tricky.
SLANTsgiving Leftovers
Six days after Thanksgiving and you only thought you were done with leftovers. It's that time of year when we share some of our SLANT leftovers of delicious creative work that was shoved in the fridge by the client and never heard from again.
Thanksgiving Leftovers
Leftovers come in two forms: the ‘lumpy, what-the-hell-even-is-this’ kind, or the ‘omg-this-is-just-as-good-maybe-even-better-than-the-original’ kind. SLANT leftovers fall in this second category...
Staying Active To Stay Creative
Utilizing our intelligence and creativity on a daily basis to do great things for our clients can take its toll. To combat brain drain, we’re big believers in getting away from the computer and being active to stay fresh and creative.
Automotive Advertising: What's Old Is New

We stumbled upon an old bookmarked favorite that has cataloged just about every major car ad, dating back to the very early 1900s. Cars have changed...a lot. Advertising them? Not so much.
5 Things You Didn't Know About SLANT
Editor's Note: We asked Neal Karn – SLANT's newest team member – to draft a blog post this week. After a small knife-fight, she finally agreed. We're glad she did...
As a new full-time employee, I'm sort of stunned at the things I've been learning about SLANT these past few weeks. So then I think...if I didn't know about these things, then you probably didn't know about them either. So as my first blog post (and since SLANT totally sucks at the humble brag) I'm going to drop some SLANT facts on you...
Nighthawk's trip to Boston
Editor's Note: We recently sent Chris Edington – one of SLANT's talented graphic designers – to Boston for the 2014 HOW® Design Conference. Then we decided to let him write about his impressions of the trip. We apologize in advance for any injury that may result from reading his musings.
i5k Rejections
It's spring time and we thought we should dig up and air out some designs that never got to see the light of day for this year's i5k.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD...
In keeping with the Halloween spirit, we thought we'd show off some work that was KILLED IN COLD BLOOD, never to see the light of day. (ok, so the work was "politely dismissed" but that doesn't sound very halloweeny). Have fun browsing the land of the dead. MUWAHAHAHA....
Your UI is killing my UX
Unless you live under a rock (or maybe in a commune), you’ve probably heard that Apple just released iOS7. Annnd if you’ve already installed it, you’ve certainly noticed it looks more like a 3 year old’s toy than a modern OS. What you may not realize is that the hideous paint job of iOS7 is actually overshadowing what is a major improvement in user experience. So we thought this would be a good time to explain the difference between UX and UI design.
