Museum Without Walls: Audio, an interactive, multi-platform audio program for Philadelphia’s public art was launched today in Love Park.

“This innovative program invites passersby to stop, look, listen and experience public art in a new light, through professionally produced three-minute interpretive audio segments revealing the untold histories of 35 outdoor sculptures along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Kelly Drive, along the Schuylkill River.

The narratives are told by over 100 authentic voices with personal connections to the artwork. Accessible through multiple platforms, Museum Without Walls™: AUDIO will be available to the public for free on the street by cell phone, audio download, or streaming audio on the official program Web site.”1

AA&J is very pleased to have been involved in the branding and content-managed website for this unique and innovative program.

Crème Yvette is a violet infused liqueur made partially from Parma Voilet petals with a long, storied history, and serves as the key ingredient in such legendary cocktails as the Blue Moon, Aviator and the Pousse Café. Having been out of circulation for many years, it has been recently resurrected by Rob Cooper of Cooper Spirits International who came to AA&J for the branding and package design.

In schools, hospitals, airports and even train stations, clock systems are still an indispensable component of their operations. As one of the key designers, fabricators and suppliers of timing systems, Sapling chose AA&J to re-brand their company.

From a new logo and tagline, to website and marketing collateral, AA&J has helped this company reinforce their new moniker, “ingeniously in sync.”

H2L2 chose AA&J to design a new brand and positioning line that would support their efforts in four practice areas: architecture, planning, interior design and infrastructure–and further support the notion that this firm, in all that they do, is “enriching environments.”

For many years AA&J has designed the annual report for The Franklin Institute and each year the challenge is to showcase the exciting new initiatives in words and images. This year was no exception, although we did take it a step further and shot the photography using a technique that we felt supported the theme “Reaching Out” in a special way. The images in this year’s annual report at first glance seem like single wide-angle images, but they are actually composites made up of many single shots that have been seamlessly assembled using a state-of-the-art computer program. The effect is an eerie delight of fantasy and reality.

Information design might be overlooked in the arsenal of communication tools.

Verizon Communications’ wireline business employees, 90,000 strong, are no strangers to the myriad products and offerings. FiOS, HSI and traditional phone service change as new products come on line, market forces change and traditional products fade away.

In an effort to communicate effectively internally with its wireline business, Verizon enlists AA&J to envision its changing products and promotions for employees in a way that is easy to grasp, exciting and memorable. The result: employees are well-versed, and can help customers navigate the new frontier in telecommunications.
