Woo hoo! https://www.designrush.com/agency/website-design-development/minnesota - [Boardroom Diplomacy](https://lucky-creative.com/boardroom-diplomacy/) - Meetings take up a lot of your work week. Shouldn't we end them at the right moment? - [The end is near.](https://lucky-creative.com/the-end-is-near/) - Having spent several years creating online Flash advertising, I'm well versed in Flash animation. During its hey day it took over the web and could rarely be avoided on a stroll through the internet. Now that HTML5 can use elements and scripts to recreate many of the wonders that Flash once provided Adobe has announced - [Design Value](https://lucky-creative.com/design-value/) - It's hard for small businesses to take the plunge and hire a designer in an age of DIY. Why should you invest in a professional website design when you can assemble one with the Web Builder from GoDaddy? There is certainly a pain threshold that a new business has to cross before they are faced - [Mail Monkey Logo Design](https://lucky-creative.com/mail-monkey-logo-design/) - Sometimes it takes a long look at your collective work to notice themes. I think that the Mail Monkey logo for Aberdean hits a few of my common threads. Punchy colors(orange as a sub-theme), playful animals and block type seem to be my favorites. If you like the monkey, then you will love working - [Stalzy's Logo](https://lucky-creative.com/stalzys/) - It's time for a sandwich. Not just any sandwich, but one that is dripping with attention to detail and classic deli style. I hope that is not literal. Making a 'classic' logo is pretty damn fun since I got to rummage through the internet for historical designs and found some absolute gems. In particular - [Runner's Gate Web Design](https://lucky-creative.com/runners-gate/) - Runner's Gate was a great client to work with and let me run wild with the design details. Humor is difficult to pull off in design because of vastly different opinions on what is funny. RG had a 'why we run' section that I paired with old yearbook photos and we both loved the end - [Beaverdale Bicycles Web Design](https://lucky-creative.com/beaverdale-bicycles-logo-web-design/) - This is another project I worked on at Makin' Hey. I know the beaver on a bike is a little too obvious for a logo design, but it was too fun to draw. Look at what a good time he is having! Just riding free without a care in the world. Isn't it time for - [Let's Dance](https://lucky-creative.com/lets-dance/) - It's almost tradition for a dance party to break out at our house at 5pm on Fridays. It's probably the best way to start a weekend and you can shake out the work week in ten minutes on your way to R&R. The other benefit is that your son can also rock some pretty incredible - [Pantone Prince](https://lucky-creative.com/pantone-prince/) - As a resident of Chaska it is my duty to repost absolutely anything Prince related and I do it with a glimmer of joy in my heart. Prince is up there with the White Stripes as far as branding a personal image and Pantone has taken note. There is now a color called Love Symbol #2 - [XX](https://lucky-creative.com/xx/) - The new logo for IBM iX - the design and consulting division of IBM - is rad. I use that term sparingly but they have truly earned it. I can see it on a new pair of skater sneaks or on an oversized pixel portrait. Maybe I'm smitten because I already love the band The XX, - [Fast Eddie's - Wild Food Pairings](https://lucky-creative.com/fast-eddies-wild-food-pairings/) - Hot dogs + Bacon = Yes. Milk + Orange Juice = Not so much. There are quite a few different food options at Fast Eddie's that could trigger a gag reflex but I'm pretty certain that is what they are aiming to do. - [jammin in 2016](https://lucky-creative.com/jammin-in-2016/) - Feelin good as hell. I make a lot of iTunes playlists through the year and there is one that got me through the firestorm that was 2016. - [Cringeworthy](https://lucky-creative.com/cringeworthy/) - There are a few hot button topics when it comes to dealing with designers. If you have the privilege of working directly with one of these fragile creatures there are a few precautions you should take. For instance, if you ask for anything to be done in Microsoft Word be prepared for a backlash and - [2016 in a Nutshell](https://lucky-creative.com/2016-in-a-nutshell/) - The new year brings about all kinds of reflection and retrospective. 2016 was a different year than most and justly deserved the internet's wrath. I would say this photo is the best way for me to capture how I feel about the year that has passed. Mildly chaotic, childish, plenty of cracks and - of - [Das Boot](https://lucky-creative.com/das-boot/) - What's that boot-shaped thing? It's the outline of Minnesota - the new home of Lucky Creative as of one week from today. As you may already know, the family and I are making our way to Chaska, Minnesota. Located in the southwest corner of the Minneapolis 'burbs, Chaska is "the best small town in Minnesota." - ["That would be freakin awesome"](https://lucky-creative.com/that-would-be-freakin-awesome/) - I don't know that I've seen a video by Iowa Film Makers that I didn't like, but this one is definitely my favorite. It comes in response to this video about how an undefeated Iowa team fits into the college football playoffs. - [We are all alike](https://lucky-creative.com/we-are-all-alike/) - It's funny how much we naturally want to assimilate. Blame your subconscious if you want, but deep down in the back of your mind you want to be just like everybody else. Designers are supposed to innovate and come up with creative solutions but still fulfill that need to be accepted. Which is part of - [Vanilla Aftertaste](https://lucky-creative.com/vanilla-aftertaste/) - One of the biggest obstacles I have found in designing logos is overcoming the theory that everyone and their mother should like a logo. If you are creating a mark for a new streaming music service that targets hipsters do you really want your mom to like the logo as much as you do? The - [Let it Snow](https://lucky-creative.com/let-it-snow/) - Grantland has a great article on the toils and troubles of Kit Harrington in keeping secrets during a digital age. It's not easy being a heartthrob with a massive following who has to pretend his character from Game of Thrones is dead while parading around the same area where filming takes place. It's exhausting, I'm - [Wanna hear a joke?](https://lucky-creative.com/wanna-hear-a-joke/) - College football is awesome, although it was particularly tough to see the Hawkeyes getting crushed in their bowl game this year. It wasn't all that surprising, given that they had an ok record with a cupcake schedule. They were probably a bit overrated, but not as much as the SEC was for an entire season. - [Slummertime](https://lucky-creative.com/slummertime/) - Nothing says summer like a great playlist bumping in the background as you drive across the great Americana with the windows rolled down. Are you tired of listening to the Dazed and Confused Soundtrack while you daydream about the days gone by? I've got the cure for what ails you. Slummertime 2015 Track List: New - [A Simple Request](https://lucky-creative.com/a-simple-request/) - I get some really obscure requests while running the gamut of design. Sometimes they really make me laugh, which is why I must share this request for a simple icon design: An icon with a magnifying glass with people – all races, if possible Would you be upset if I didn't have room for the - [Ramblers](https://lucky-creative.com/ramblers/) - Let's get rambling. There's something about design and travel that go in hand in hand for me. As a designer, you're always looking for fresh solutions or new ideas and the best prescription is travel. Having your eyes opened to a new way of living and seeing the world around you differently is a lesson - [The Perfect Boyfriend](https://lucky-creative.com/the-perfect-boyfriend/) - It looks like someone was watching the movie Her and thought 'there should be an app for that.' Invisible Boyfriend will be your perfect man for $24.99 a month - calls included - and will confirm that our love lives and virtual lives are become more and more intertwined. From their website: "Create your own - [2014 Film Favorites](https://lucky-creative.com/2014-film-favorites/) - I have to admit, since having a second child that my movie watching has hit an all-time low but there were some serious gems in the year that was 2014. Although any time that Wes Anderson releases a new film I probably call it a good year. I'm very excited to watch the Fantastic Mr. - [Getting Swaggy](https://lucky-creative.com/getting-swaggy/) - Advice on how to get the girl from the swaggiest NBA player in the league. Nick Young might actually make me like the Lakers if he keeps this up. - [VAPAS Logo](https://lucky-creative.com/vapas-logo/) - VAPAS is short for the Verona Area Performing Arts Series. I'm sure you already knew that. - [Heck of an Idea Logo](https://lucky-creative.com/heck-of-an-idea/) - [Gambale Consulting Web Design](https://lucky-creative.com/gambale-consulting-web-design/) - What does biotechnological medical device development involve? I don't know. It's a good thing that Gambale Consulting Partners know what they are doing because I don't understand most of it. It's a little difficult to design a hierarchy of a website when you don't understand half of the terms, but the homepage sets the tone ## Pages - [Home](https://lucky-creative.com/) - [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Header” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”contain” background_video_mp4=”https://lucky-creative.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/record_spinning_while_radio_waves_slowly_emanate.mp4″ module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”0vw||0vw||true|false” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 0%|rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 100%” width=”100%” max_width=”2560px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”99px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://lucky-creative.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Lucky-Creative-2.svg” alt=”Lucky Creative logo” title_text=”Lucky Creative” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”|17px|0px|44px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” max_width=”800px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||22px|||” custom_padding=”|11px||17px||” global_colors_info=”{}”] Branding / Digital - [Cookie Policy (US)](https://lucky-creative.com/cookie-policy-us/) - [Privacy Policy](https://lucky-creative.com/privacy-policy/) - [vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” padding_top=”87″ padding_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1501181998103{padding: 2em !important;background-color: #3b494a !important;}”][vc_column width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1503582801936{padding-top: 2em !important;}”][vc_separator type=”small” position=”center” up=”7″ down=”38″][vc_column_text]This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for Lucky Creative.
