Summer in the City

Hi! My name is Alex and I’m intern­ing at Leibowitz for the sum­mer. Like a lot of my col­leagues, I am a Communications Design major at Syracuse University. I’m from north­ern New Jersey and while I’ve been to the city numer­ous times, it’s my first time liv­ing here. I just got back from a semes­ter abroad in London, so I was […]

Doodle Mania

Most of the design­ing these days is done on com­put­ers  —  a lot of the design­ers in here even sketch elec­tron­i­cally. But that doesn’t mean that all the design soft­ware in the world is any bet­ter than a good old fash­ioned pen or pen­cil sketch on paper. I’ve col­lected some of the var­i­ous “doo­dles” done by the Leibowitz/Sugarspun team […]

This Month: Illustration

Welcome back to Leibowit! As we men­tioned before, we’re chang­ing things up a bit around here. Each month, we’ll be focus­ing on a dif­fer­ent topic that will allow us to explore dif­fer­ent aspects of design, cul­ture and ideas. We’ve assem­bled a team of both design­ers and non-designers to bring you a vari­ety of con­tent. We encour­age you to join […]

Stay Tuned!

We’ve been pretty quiet over here in 2010. As Paul men­tioned over the hol­i­days, we’ve been keep­ing busy with work from exist­ing and new clients and ini­ti­at­ing the great addi­tions to our team (wel­come Kim, Shannon, Mike and Max!). In that same spirit of change, we’re also mak­ing some adjust­ments to the blog and have […]

Tis the Season!

Faithful fol­low­ers may have noticed that we haven’t posted since the death of Gourmet mag­a­zine. No, we’ve not been in a state of pro­longed pub­lic mourn­ing. While we hate to see mag­a­zines whither, we have just been too busy to post. Yes, busy!
The office has been hum­ming with new work, respond­ing to (and win­ning) RFPs, and hiring. […]

What I’ve learned this summer

Today is my last day intern­ing at Leibowitz Communications, so I decided to reflect upon what I’ve learned these past two and a half months. The first thing I learned more about was NYC itself  –  I now know how to get myself around the city and dis­cov­ered some fun things to do, every­thing from bowl­ing to eat­ing to going […]

Art Imitates Life Imitates Art

You may have noticed a few changes in our “Currently Playing” sec­tion of the blog, which has recently played host to sev­eral mash-up bands. What is a mash-up band, you say? Why, let me google that for you.
Why mash-up bands? Why not? For every lad and lass liv­ing in this mod­ern jun­gle over-saturated with media, cul­ture and […]

The IMAA – An Exciting New Venture

It’s All About Education and Communications
I recently received an email from a long-time client intro­duc­ing me to two of his asso­ciates  —  very bright, forward-thinking guys inter­ested in res­ur­rect­ing an improved ver­sion of Remora. Remora is a defunct gath­er­ing of invest­ment advi­sors and asset man­agers who met monthly to dis­cuss how both sides could help each other improve their […]

Expectations

So today is my first day intern­ing at Leibowitz Communications, and I want to reflect about what I expect from this sum­mer intern­ship. The first thing I wanted to get out of this expe­ri­ence was to learn how to get myself around the city, because despite liv­ing near New York City my entire life I’ve rarely come to […]
