We’re excited to launch some new work for Tillamook — introducing the Tillamook Yogurt Yum Factory! We concepted and created an interactive 3D world where playful characters are hard at work, turning natural ingredients into the highest-quality yogurt. Product factoids appear throughout the whimsical world to educate visitors on what goes into making Tillamook yogurt such as high-quality milk and real fruit. So, step inside and see for yourself why Tillamook’s yogurt tastes better and receive a tasty treat at the end of the journey.

Award-winning milk goes into the fresh tasting yogurt.

Here on Granola Mountain, “Pull Me” to add four active cultures to every cup of yogurt.

Yogurt, meet fruit. “Mix Me” to your favorite tune.

Yum!

Today, we are honored to announce the new SesameWorkshop.org, the nonprofit educational organization that revolutionized children’s television programming with Sesame Street. With co-productions seen in over 150 countries, tackling a range of issues including literacy, health and military deployment, Hello designed the site to tell the depth and breadth of the Sesame story, simply. Focusing on form, function and furry monsters, the redesign brings Sesame’s humanitarian work to the forefront of the user’s experience. To learn more and show your support, visit SesameWorkshop.org today!

We launched a new website for one of Los Angeles’ greatest attractions: the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits. The Tar Pits boast asphalt seeps that represent the only consistently-active and urban Ice Age Excavation site in the world. The dig site and its fossils tell the story of life in that exact location, 40,000 years ago.

The website redesign parallels the indoor and outdoor experiences of the museum. Explore the Tar Pits and the excavation process outside but take a closer look inside at the research and exhibitions.

Features of the website include updates of new discoveries as they happen; downloadable scavenger hunts and teacher guides; an interactive map of the campus and suggested itineraries; a chronological overview of the La Brea Tar Pits and surrounding area.

Visitors of the website will also be able to view the latest films by Hello Design, including a video sneak peek into the wonder and discovery that awaits at the the Page Museum.

MoMA is featured in this year’s Communication Arts Advertising Annual. The feature talks about MoMA’s unique approach to digital initiatives and their partnerships in working with select agencies including Hello. We’re honored to work with the MoMA and share an understanding with them on the importance of collaboration and storytelling.

“They understand the power of the story and the content,” says David Lai, of Hello Design. “And they care very much about the end product.”

Friends of Hello at the A+D Museum in Los Angeles recently installed “Eames Words,” an exhibition where the ideas of Charles and Ray Eames triumph their better-known creations.

Part of the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time, the show pays homage to the design duo’s appreciation of humble objects through an “informal assemblage” of quotes, phrases and actual items, like the Jeep.

Much of the inspiration behind the couple’s designs came from the everyday, which is no better represented in Charles’ timeless phrase, “The uncommon beauty of common things.” The Eameses taught us to celebrate life’s simple pleasures and that design only further enhances this philosophy.

One of our favorite parts about moving in to our new space is picking out the furniture. Many of the new pieces are from Herman Miller and it felt like Christmas when all the boxes arrived.

The unboxing begins.

Here are pairs of Eames Aluminum Management Chairs.

Eames Molded Plywood Dining Chairs, perfect for our upstairs lounge.

We love the simplicity of the Setu Side chairs. The instruction manual says, “Sit down.”

The Herman Miller showroom is just down the street, but now we have our own mini showroom at Hello!

We had a lot of fun speaking at CreativeMornings today. Special thanks to everyone who came out and to Jon Setzen for inviting us to speak.

Check out the boxed water cartons.

We took a handful of Tattlys and inked ourselves up after the talk.

We outgrew our former studio and spent the last couple months building and designing a new one. Although a few details are still coming together, here’s a glimpse of our space. Drop by and say hello.

Herman Miller is now the exclusive North American distributor of Magis, leading Italian furniture designer and the makers of Chair_One. Both Herman Miller and Magis have a history of working with top designers around the world and a dedication to sustainable design.

As Herman Miller’s digital agency of record, we launched the Magis products on the Herman Miller site.

Last weekend Hello was invited to PechaKucha night for Little Tokyo Design Week (LTDW) where our CEO/Creative Director, David Lai joined the lineup of 48 speakers as they presented for 2 minutes each with 6 images in 20 seconds revolved around the topic, “future city.”

David’s talk explored a future city with inspiration from childhood imaginings where flying bikes and good robots could exist in an environment that interacts and reacts to our needs.

PechaKucha was a lively event with design + fashion projections outside and live music. We especially enjoyed the shipping containers turned small pop-up galleries in the JANM plaza. Many thanks to Hitoshi Abe, chair of LTDW, who invited us to participate in PechaKucha night.
