Chicago Water Taxi adds to the fleet
Chase @ May 12, 2010 11:14 am
As a designer, one of the biggest thrills is seeing your work out in the real world. No project has been more thrilling for us in that way than the Chicago Water Taxi. The Chicago Water Taxi has become an icon up and down the Chicago River and you would be hard pressed to spend a summer day in Chicago without seeing it.
Today we learned that CWT is adding a third water taxi to it’s fleet of bright yellow vessels. ‘Sunliner’ will be joining ‘Bravo’ and ‘Alpha’ starting at the end of May.
If you haven’t ridden the Chicago Water Taxi yet, give it a shot. For the $2 fare, you can’t beat the unique view of the city, especially on a beautiful Chicago summer day.
See more about the work we did for the Chicago Water Taxi on our site and check back soon because big changes are coming to the CWT Maps and Timetables.
‘Vincent: A Life in Color’ premieres in Chicago
Chase @ May 6, 2010 11:25 am
Tomorrow, Friday, May 7th is the long awaited Chicago premiere of ‘Vincent: A Life in Color‘. Vincent is a project we have been involved with for a long time (May 2006 to be exact) and we are extremely excited to finally see the film in its home town. ‘Vincent | A Life in Color’ will be running at the Gene Siskle Film Center May 7th – May 13th and we highly recommend you check it out.
As a Chicagoan, you may think you’re familiar with Mr. Vincent Falk but after seeing the documentary you will totally fall in love with him. Aside from being entertaining, the documentary is the epitome of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ or in this case ‘don’t judge a man by his fashion’.
A bit about the film:
Vincent P. Falk is Fashion Man. Clad in brightly colored suits; Vincent twirls on Chicago’s many bridges, performing fashion shows for passing tour boats. As he spins his way through the city, tourists and locals alike are left to wonder just who is this strange man. Over the course of one boat season, we follow Vincent and begin to unravel the mystery that surrounds him. We discover that the man behind the fashion, having come through the travails of life, has decided to do what makes him happy. And so, he spins on.
You can see all of the work Studio of the Month has done for the film on the newly updated Vincent project on our site.
