About Forced Fun Friday: Coined by creative director Chris St. Cyr, FFF is a nod to the early days of the studio when founder and creative director Kelly McMurray hosted half-day creative sessions for the team to explore image making and non-client work.

Kent Place magazine received a Gold for Magazine I

Kent Place magazine received a Gold for Magazine Imagery and Bronze for Overall Design from the 2022 Brilliance Awards! The InspirEd Brilliance awards recognizes communications developed for independent schools. In 2020 we worked with Rachel Naggar, Director of Communications, Kent Place School, to re-envision the school’s alumni magazine. We are honored that the magazine is not only well received by its community but also the judges of this prestigious award competition.
One judge’s quote embodies the importance of a thoughtful alumni magazine: “This isn't just a magazine—it's the heart of the school.” Illustrations by Maria Medem. #2communiquedesign #storytelling #publicationdesign #editorialdesign #publication #magazines #alumnicommunications #strategiccommunications #artdirection #editorialillustration

In Motion: By Jared Leeds
“When photographers first started making the transition to incorporating video into their workflow, I admittedly went in kicking and screaming: ‘I’m a photographer, dammit!’
I was dedicated to the craft and art of making photographs with very little interest in creating motion. It took a while to realize that it was just fear of the unknown that was holding me back. Ultimately, photographers becoming directors is where the industry was headed, whether I liked it or not.”

Nobles alumni, Chris Steele ‘08: Lacing Up and Leaning In
“As a squirt in the Revere youth hockey program, standing only a head taller than the boards, Chris Steele never imagined that he would spend his high school years commuting 30 miles through Mass Pike traffic to arrive at the foreign landscape of the Nobles campus for 8 a.m. assembly. At the end of his sophomore year at Malden Catholic, with some nudging by the late Jimmy Hayes ’08—Steele’s formidable youth hockey opponent and close friend—that very commute began. This is a story of the impact of the Nobles experience on a boy who was not expecting the chance, and of the ripple effect that springs from the collaboration of great educators and a determined kid intent on embracing an opportunity.”
