Local creative goes big. Really, really big.

So there I was in Barnes and Noble, nibbling my scone, sipping my Fiji and fueling my creativity with the October 2008 issue of How. Which just so happens to be the Self-Promotion Annual. And right there on page 94 is our 2008 ADDY Best of Show winner, the Rochester International Jazz Festival press kit created by WXXI in-house team Jon Haliniak and Kristen Tutino. How cool is that?

Another bit of bigness to hit the pubs is John Myers Photography in the Communication Arts Photography Annual. With a full spread for his work on the Boy Scout annual report! Apparently no good deed goes unnoticed.

And speaking of spying big ideas, rumor has it you’ll be able to see some MasterCard work from Roberts Communications in the upcoming 2009 Graphis Advertising Annual. Whit Thompson and Mark Stone are so money with their clever creative. Look for it at the end of the month.

Apparently, creative juices floweth big time down the Genesee River. Go ROC.
