Thirdeye BLOG

Last night was Thirdeye’s annual Christmas Party. This time around we went to the brand new Splitsville bowling alley in South Miami. The interior was very fancy and the food was amazing. We had sushi, shrimp, burgers, cookies, and other goodies throughout the night.

Our big group was divided into 2 lanes, so we made a nice competition of the evening. Take a look at the slideshow for moments such as bowling faces and debating scores. A good time was had by all.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night. We’re honored to have you in our professional and personal lives.

This entry is a bit overdue (19 days, to be exact). But I wanted to make sure you all saw these special Thirdeye cupcakes that our very own Steph baked and prepared for us. And yes, they were delicious.

I’ll try to stay on top of these holiday related entries from now on.

In fact, according to HolidayInsights.com, today is Have A Bad Day Day. So in attempt to reconcile for our failed attempt at wishing you a wonderful Halloween… I want to wish you and your loved ones a bad day. Cheers!

Our good friend and illustrator Chris Meesey created a series of Thirdeye staff caricatures. The whole office was cracking up when we saw these. Be sure to check out his portfolio and blog as well. Great stuff!

Two weeks ago, Hurricane Ike was headed directly to us in Miami. Hours before landfall, its directions shifted southbound and barely missed the lower half of Florida. Unfortunately, Haiti was devastated with flooding and many people have been left without food and shelter. In light of the recent damaged caused by Hurricane Ike, we at Thirdeye felt compelled to help our neighbors in need.

When we heard that City of Miami Fire Stations were accepting donations for Haiti, we headed over to Sam’s Club and purchased some non-perishable food items for them to send over. Our donation also included soap and diapers for the Haitian children affected by the tragedy. We hope the best for our neighbors and look forward to the bits of good news as the country recovers from her recent woes.

While the rest of the Miami audience was enjoying the sights and sounds at B-Live Miami 2008, we were busy working behind the scenes. But all work and no play makes Thirdeye a dull crew. So we made sure to play.

Highlights included seeing our graphics displayed in front of hundreds of concert-goers, great live music, delicious food, and a job well done by all. Our favorite performance of the night: Groove Armada.

Now that we’re at the post-production stage of the project, we get to hear all the great music over and over again. So if you happen to pass by our office, don’t be surprised if you see a lot of heads bobbing and toes tapping. Enjoy the (music free) slideshow above.

Yesterday the Thirdeye crew had the honor of seeing our work on display at the Freedom Tower for the AIGA Xposed 2008 exhibition. Our website and dvd package won gold awards. We took photos of the event for your viewing pleasure, so enjoy the slideshow above!

The Latest HOW International Design Annual came out this week and guess who made it into the Self-Promotional Websites category! We’re very honored. Make sure to pick up a copy and flip to page 189 for the site credits and pics.

Yep. He landed it.

It’s officially one week into the new year and we’re excited to start fresh. We spent the first few days cleaning and organizing things here at the office. Papers were thrown out, closets were tidied up, files were backed up. It’s going to be a great year. And now behold some pictures of our little Christmas party and gift exchange:

Today we will be doing our annual Secret Santa gift exchange in the afternoon in front of our humble Christmas Tree. Then we’re going to spend the evening together eating delicious food and playing arcade games. We may not get snow here in Florida, but we sure know how to have a good time. Merry Christmas!
