👻OoooOOOooOoo… it’s the ghost of Elections Past!

Approximately 700 years ago, in 2016, we helped John Peters with his campaign for Mono County Supervisor.

Using repeating graphics and images from around the area, we designed and printed a suite of election materials such as door hangers, business cards, stickers, magnets, yard signs, flyers, ads, and more.

One of the easiest and most cost efficient ways of informing people of John’s campaign was through a magical post office service called EDDM - Every Door Direct Mail. You maaaaaaaaay [definitely] have been receiving similar pieces of mail in the run up to the upcoming election. It’s a nifty service where if you don’t have a mailing list, you can instead mail to everyone in a selected ZIP code.

Maybe you have something you’d like to send to 93546? A coupon, some holiday cheer, a special promotion, pictures of cats? We can help with every step: design, print, and mail.

You may have received an envelope from the Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce recently that contained some sweet stuff designed and printed by us!

✅ A fancy 8-panel gate-folded brochure with handy membership chart, which we laid out oh-so-carefully so the folds lined up with a line and not any text;
✅ A shiny double-sided membership window decal that conveniently displays on both sides of your shop window or door; and
✅ A nice letter from Ken on branded letterhead!

We offer very competitive pricing for printing -- brochures, decals/stickers, letterhead, envelopes, and more -- contact us for an estimate for your project!

And if you're not a Chamber member? Hurry and sign up! There's a membership level for everyone, it's an invaluable resource for businesses of all sizes, and the Chamber and its members are some of the best people in town.

Let's talk about signs, and not the Ace of Base type (am I showing my age?)

The manager of the Sierra Holiday Mobile Home Park needed a new sign. We quickly designed three options for him, he picked the middle one, and then we had it printed with UV ink (for durability to scratches and the weather) on a 6mm aluminum + black rigid core board.

A quick, easy, affordable project that looks really classy!

For extra pizzaz, we also offer stainless steel standoffs (those fancy metal cylinders that sit in the corners of the sign to hold it off a wall).

This particular project only used two colors, but we can design a sign to use any amount of colors, photos, logos, etc. And rectangles are pretty awesome shapes, but we also offer signs that are circles, ovals, octagons, squares, houses, arrows, and stars. (Sadly no triangles, to the dismay of Triangle Man. Dang, am I showing my age again!? 🤪 )

Roberto's Cafe hired us to redesign their menus so they were easier to read and more colorful and fun. After consuming a few margaritas for inspiration (just kidding... maybe! 😜) we developed their new look!

Little details that aid in ease of use include using a different color background and section titles for the food and drink menus, and making the item price blue.

We were even able to use the cute lil lizard in the design - next time you're in, see if you can find him painted on the wall!

Our favorite part of the project was designing three different covers to showcase owner Joanie's mother Marilyn Hayden's amazing paintings.

Special thanks to Community Printing in Bishop for a fantastic print job!

How cool are these? Might have to check out Mammoth Lakes' manhole covers now, wonder if they're pretty enough to print?

Berlin’s Raubdruckerin (“Pirate Printer”) roam the world’s great cities — places like Paris, Amsterdam and Lisbon — and apply ink-rollers directly to the prettie…

The Village at Mammoth hired Mammoth Lakes Creative to create artwork for their upcoming Burger Battle event, which includes concerts both Friday and Saturday with some big names (Nelson and Allman both have pretty famous dads!). We gave them two options - a modern look, and a retro look (with a nod to the legendary Fillmore posters from the 60's and 70's). Which do you like better? Can you guess which one they chose?

Here's a bit of a blast from the past... did you know that Mammoth Lakes Creative's Katy Drake designed the Mammoth Biathlon logo? Waaaaay back in 2010 (sits back in rocking chair and puffs on pipe), Katy worked for MMSA and developed a new logo inspired by classic Scandinavian design, as the sport has its origins in an exercise for Norwegian soldiers. The logo was originally slated to be used only one year, but proved so popular that it has continued to be used to this day! We are stoked when we see the logo on stickers, t-shirts, targets, medals, posters and more. The 9th Annual Mammoth Biathlon starts this Friday, March 18. Stop by to cheer on the amazing athletes!

It's no secret that we love us some beer... so imagine our excitement when we got to work with Mammoth Brewing Company on their 1953 Red Ale! This delicious concoction was brewed to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. Mammoth Lakes Creative designed the bottle with a vintage 50's ski poster theme - which we then carried over to a pint glass, poster, tap handle sticker, social media images, and stickers. Our design even made a cameo at the Opening Day celebration! Cheers!
