Check out our 'Murder Mystery Winner Theatre' ad that debuted in the ADDY program book on Friday night. So much personality contained in one photo. Yikes! Thanks to Bill Stank for the photographic work, Nichole Smith for the design of the ad and to Sam Bennett of The Historic Benner Mansion in Allentown for use of the location. You guys 'kill it' everyday and I'm proud of each and every one of you. Congrats also to Chris Devine and Matt Stachewicz on their ADDY wins. Well done. #aafwhowonit #addyawards #addys #aafglv @AAF_GLV

Kutztown University and Media Arts Group intern Tyler Matis delivered yet another awesome Go Guide Street cover. With a tip of the cap to Star Trek, Tyler embraced the theme with one of his illustrations. Tomorrow is Tyler's last day and we are going to miss him. Tyler, my advice to you for a long and prosperous design career is to 'Boldy Go' and don't ever be afraid to dream big. Be well my friend.

Today is Dr. Suess's birthday. We certainly didn't want to let the occasion slip past without commemorating it in some way. MAG designer Jess Pacheco stepped up and crushed it big time with her concept and design for this ad that ran in today's paper. Everything about this ad is pure magic. The copy, the artwork, the design. A perfect example of what can happen when a great concept, meets solid design.

I really love how MAG Designer Marco Marinucci's Go Guide Street cover for this week turned out. Nice typography work, complimentary color palette and striking photography. Hits all the right notes.

Are you flocking kidding me? Check out this super cool Illustration and design done by the multi-talented Nichole Smith of The Media Arts Group for this week's Go Guide Street cover.

Lots of people to thank for the latest issue of INDULGE. First and foremost, Mr. Roy Shuler of Cheesecakes by Chester for providing what can only be described as the most indulgent and decadent cheesecake that we've ever tasted. Huge thanks also to PBS/WLVT Studios in Bethlehem for letting us use their awesome kitchen and to Bill Stank of PhotoSynthesis Photography for his photographic stylings as well as MAG designer Sarah Sterner for the graphic design and art direction. Kudos to everyone who helped make it all work. Dig in. https://www.facebook.com/CheesecakesbyChester

MAG designer & Kutztown Intern Tyler Matis concepted, illustrated and designed this week's awesome Go Guide Street cover about virtual reality and the next level of video game design. Nice job, Tyler

Our MLK tribute that published in yesterday's Morning Call. MAG designer Matt Stachewicz did a beautiful job with the design. We intentionally left the date of MLK's death blank because we feel that his message is timeless and his actions, words and deeds will live forever. #MLK #MLKDay2016

We recently got the opportunity to do some design work for The new Bethlehem Steel Football Club which will open their season in the spring of 2016 here in the Lehigh Valley. MAG Designer Sarah Sterner hammered out some solid design work on this full page ad promoting season ticket sales. http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/steelfc

Shaken, not slurred is this week's Go Guide Street cover theme. Nice type work here done by MAG Designer Marco Marinucci who also handled the overall design. Ryan Kneller's Easton Pub Crawl story can be read here. http://www.mcall.com//mc-gostreet-downtown-easton-bar-hopp

I love it when a design just works. This one has it all. Great photo, nice headline, beautiful graphics that bring it all together. MAG designer Niche Smith worked her magic on this week's Go Guide Street cover and I think it's awesome.

The Dec/Jan issue of INDULGE is out. Huge thanks to cover model Maggie Bonge of Sorrelli Jewelers in downtown Allentown. Thanks also to The Colony Meadery located inside The Moravian Bookstore in Bethlehem for providing the liquid refreshment. Matt Blum of Lightly Salted Productions shot the photo and MAG designer Chris Devine designed the cover. Season's Readings
