eight6 - eight6 is a small deisgn studio in Detroit, founded by Noel Jackson.

We’re a little late to the party, but we were nominated for some logos we designed for Ecoscraps and Planetsave (with the help of Alisa Schadt).

Being a designer today means you probably work with the Web in some way. I’ve always used the Web as my design medium (usually), but many designers don’t (some, not at all)…

Do more with less.

Do you really need a “social media strategy?” Think about it… What does that even mean?

We created Monotone with Automattic, the company behind Wordpress.com. The challenge was to create a photo-blogging theme that was truly unique, for each individual photo. What resulted, was a true chameleon!

Design IS communication, there is no magic bullet, and chaos is our friend.

We just launched a photo-blogging theme for Wordpress.com
