11/27/06
Jami's last name is Brames!

11/22/06
It is Jami's and Jarod's big day this weekend. Congrats!

11/06/06
Some cool, random, design stuff. Enjoy.

11/01/06
Happy Birfday Jami (10/31) and Amy (11/1).

10/25/06
Wow... it has been almost a month since we updated. We have been super, super, super busy. A lot has happened in a month... but, I won't bore you with the details.

Check out the new First Office. This is been one element of a huge rebranding we recently completed.

Big milestone... we have just posted our 100th Picture of the Week.

Angelo has returned from six weeks in the land of sweet tea. First assignment: cat-sit for Sade.

09/01/06
OMG! Sade AND Jami busted ass on the steps to the second floor. Jami bit it first running up in loose flip-flops that snagged on the overhang of the step. She went down HARD but recovered quickly. Sade, on the other hand totally crashed going down the steps when her high heels gave way. On the way down she spilled coffee and destroyed Christian's mailbox. Her legs were severly battered and brusied. It was XTREME!!!

09/01/06
OMG 2!! Digging thought some old boxes in the spray room we found a copy of NFormanix "Cooking From The Midwestside". Nothing but good memories of the early 80's when Angelo and Chrisitan were at their creative peak.

09/01/06
OMG 3!!! SO CUTE!!!

08/24/06
Per Sade, via email:

Just giving everyone a heads-up (if I haven't already harassed you) that we now have a recycling bin! Yay! I'll be watching you all very carefully, and for every piece of paper you throw away, I will kill a kitten.

Just kidding, I would only drown puppies.

Angelo's response:

OMG the only thing we know how to recycle is Gotham!

So true.

08/21/06
Bizzay!

08/11/06
Angelo is photo directing in North Carolina for a couple of months and beginning to lose it a bit. His latest email::

BTW the CB2 vases came in they look great. I didn't have a box cutter so i used a shard of glass from a smashed vase to open it. See not a total loss! thank matt for me:) in case of burglary, i now have a leathal weapon i can take with me to my hotel. I'b like holdin my sharp piece of blue glass and be like, "bitch, you robbin da the wrong room, i got some broken prop in he-yah! and you do not want to get cut up with my piece of blue glass! you betta get out cause i'm gonna blue glass yo ass!!!" And thatz all i gotta say.

Yikes.

08/09/06
So busy...

07/27/06
It's Strassenfest season!

07/27/06
After yet another exhausting search for a new designer, In Form Design is proud to announce the addition of Sade Reed to the team. Sade is from Des Moines, IA. She is a 2006 graduate of Drake University. She has recently managed Verboten Gallery of Art + Design in downtown Des Moines. Her interested include architecture, Star Trek, fancy clothes and mountain biking. She uses phrases like "smashingly brilliant", "rad" and "fairly rock". Also, she is not a big puss like Aaron. She had no problem stealing several items from the Schnitzelbank salad bar. (see 04/10/05)

Here are some portfolio samples:

07/20/06
Here are some pictures of the Embrace section of the Carolina showroom from NeoCon 2006.

07/20/06
In Form loves Sade.

07/07/06
Our new intern, Ryan... er, I mean Matt, just completed some landscape "design" for us. He has spent the last couple weeks removing the extremely overgrown bushes from in front of the office. Be sure to add that to your portofolio Ryan... er, I mean Matt.

***HAPPY*BIRFDAY*JENNY***

06/27/06
Big news: Jasper is getting a Starbucks.

06/21/06
Here are some pictures of the OFS showroom from NeoCon 2006. Be sure to watch the video to catch a glimpse of Christian and Angelo walking around aimlessly.

06/14/06
Wow, what an exciting, exhilarating and exhausting NeoCon! This was definitely In Form’s best NeoCon yet. I think it is safe to say it was our clients best also. We designed two large showrooms this year, one for OFS and one for Carolina and Embrace. Both turned out awesome! We heard nothing but positive feedback the entire show. We will update our portfolio section soon!

06/02/06
Eric G for President.

05/26/06
Our new intern, Ryan... er, I mean Matt, created our wonderful Memorial Day POTW.

05/23/06
NeoCon is keeping us as busy as beavers!

05/16/06

Are you a member of The 7000 Club?

05/10/06
Angleo's email to the staff:

Ok,

It's time to start eatin right for NeoCon. Amy you inspired this email with the healthy food you brought in today. For [sic] now on everyone is required to eat two servings of fruits and/or veggies + 4 glasses of water a day at work.

Let's get cute,
Angelo

05/09/06
Aaron is leaving us. After his three month review, we all determined that his sleepiness and drunkiness was better suited for freelance. No hard feelings either way. We'll all miss the phrase "I'll have a Mr. Pibb."

05/5/06

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

04/24/06
Aaron killed a guy. Yum.

04/13/06
We hope everybunny has a hoppy Easter!

04/10/06
You should have seen how shook Aaron got stealing cottage cheese for Angelo from the Schnitzelbank salad bar.

04/05/06
SHOCKING NEWS! The In Form Design staff found out this week that the font they have been referring to as "Helvetica Nouveau" for years is actually called "Helvetica Neue" (pronounced like "annoying" but with an "a" at the end rather than an "ing" (and without the "a" at the begining also (just "noya")). Despite the obvious spelling difference, we all just assumed it was pronounced "Nouvea" (like the art movement, the Club and the Bell Biv). This has been very difficult for everyone to accept.

03/27/06
Amy has been picked to attend the John Mellencamp Dress Rehearsal in Evansville. There will be a Meet and Greet. Nip Pic! Nip Pic! Nip Pic! (see 8/16/05)

03/27/06
We recently received some interesting poetry in our guest book...

Somebody needs to teach Aaron how to smile in his pictures. A big toothy grin goes a long way.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

03/09/06
Angelo is back. Due to booming business, he plans to stay and help out until September. He will be working at the receptionist station, so be prepared for an overly warm greeting if you happen to visit.

03/09/06
For Real.

03/03/06
Strictly business in Chi-town. Jenny and Christian howled at the moon with our festive clients Stan and Ryan from Carolina. Jenny entertained everyone with her Axl Roseish dance. Theme music for the evening was "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire.

02/24/06
Aaron's son Jackson joined the In Form crew one day this week. He stayed busy writing a grocery list.

02/17/06
OMG! We have updated the Logos, Advertising and Showrooms sections of the site.

02/06/06
Busy weekend/Monday for the In Formers...

Christian went to Disney Land (or maybe Disney World… whichever one is in Florida).

Jenny, Angelo and Jami went to Louisville for an art gallery "hop", spilled several drinks and crashed a party at the Humana building.

Jami is a saint.

Amy had a murder mystery party with a flapper theme. Her ass, once again, was guilty.

Angelo slaved printing t-shirts which he surprised everyone with this morning.

Our new guy, Aaron, started today. It took him about 45 minutes to figure out how to eject a CD on his computer. How embarrassing.

02/06/06
In Form would like to apologize to everyone who was looking for last weeks "Picture of the Week". It was the first time since we launched the site that we didn't do an update. Sorry.

01/25/06
Angelo and Cody Cannon (the Jami Fan Club Founder) have created a t-shirt site. Check out the work in progress. Intelligent Designer.

01/16/06
Keep on Truckin'. Our temporary site for Styline Transportation.

01/16/06
Congratulations to Jared and Jami. They are engaged.

12/29/05
Here are some images from the In Form Design Christmas Party. The event was held at Mac-a-doo's in Jasper. Good times, great gifts ($30 price limit this year!) and plenty of deeply fried foods were had by all.

12/27/05
Happy Holidays!

12/20/05
After 5 months, 396 applicants and $879.00 in job posting fees, the search for Angelo's replacement is complete!

The latest addition to In Form is Aaron Tanner of Evansville, IN. We have worked with Aaron in the past when he was with Semisans. At Semisans he programmed our website (which you are at now) and the Embrace Funishings website. He has a record label (Melodic Virtue), a band (Stationary Odyssey), a kid (Jackson) and an accent reminiscent of Snagglepuss ("exit stage left, eevvveen").

A couple of weeks ago he expressed interest in the position and was immediately deemed our top candidate. After minimal negotiating, he was hired.

Why the hell he didn't express interest 5 months and $879.00 ago will be the subject of our first conversation around the coffee maker.

12/20/05
It may take a minute to load, but well worth it: A little old school NeffDePree (Jenny, Amy and crew circa 1999). I am embarrassed for them.

12/14/05
In Form Design was well represented at this years Louisville Graphic Design Association 100 Show. We won a Silver Award for the OFS Feel Good Cards, designed by Angelo and Jami. Angelo won a solo Gold Award (1 of only 4 awarded) for his personal site gettoknowangelo.com. Super Awesome!

12/14/05
Happy Birfday Angelo!

11/22/05
Baby Makes Three! Congrats go out to the Paeth family for the birth of their son Xavier Christian Paeth. Born Sunday, Nov. 20th at 11:30 p.m. Xavier weighed in at 7 lbs. 2 oz. and was 21.5 in. long. Mom and baby are doing great.

Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba! Angelo destroys Christian and Jami in a "Vegetarian B" speed-eating contest at La Carreta. You make In Form Design proud Angelo!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! On Halloween night Angelo waited at his new home (a.k.a. the office) to give candy to his first trick-or-treaters. Sadly no one showed up:( Not only do we get to celebrate Halloween this week, but we also have the joy of celebrating both Jami and Amy's Birthdays. Christian is still M.I.A, and I think that the Catfish Inn may have kidnapped him. I saw a strange "Special" on their sign while driving by.

10/26/05
One can only imagine that you could get pretty bored living at work, not to mention dirty from sleeping on your office floor. Angelo decided to pamper himself this weekend by taking a bubble bath in the girls bathroom tub. Yes he's still here, but at least this week the office smells a little bit like coconuts and powder.

10/17/05
Angelo has decided to stick around for a couple more weeks. It just goes to prove the old adage, "You can take the Jasper out of a man, but you can't take the man out of Jasper".

10/17/05
We hate ya Ryan.

10/10/05
We love ya Ryan.

10/06/05
See images of OFS's NeoCon East Showroom we recently designed here.

10/04/05
Even though his going away party was two weeks ago, Angelo is still here. The end of September was the end of his lease, so now he is living at the office. It is a very strange situation. All of his stuff is here. He has his sleeping bag, TV and a bunch of frozen food. The entire building now smells a bit like old Chef-Boyardee tomato sauce. This morning he was walking around barefoot in a wife beater and basketball shorts. Oddness.

09/27/05
We just launched the update of embracefunishings.com!

09/26/05
Everyone had a festive time at Angelo's going away party. The theme (for no particular reason) was blindness. Angelo was led into various situations wearing blacked out safety goggles. Much hilarity ensued. Susan Morganti and a couple of Ya Ya Sisters made a surprise appearance much to everyone's delight.

09/19/05
Angelo returns from Italy!

09/15/05
This is both disgusting and amazing. Friday afternoon Jenny purchased 3 bottles of Coffee-mate Hazelnut Creamer (IFD's Official Coffee Additive). Nobody drank any coffee Friday afternoon. This week Angelo has been in Italy and Jenny is in Baltimore. That leaves Amy, Jami and Christian in the office. As of Wednesday morning, we were out of creamer. That's three 16 ounce bottles in 3 day for 3 people. That is just sickening. Did we really drink that much? Yuck. Here is an absolutely stupid creamer related link.

09/13/05
Look out JC Penny! In Form Design creates its first dress. Shown on the always glam Jami. That's right it's just "Jami".

09/07/05
Congratulation Christian! He has been elected to be a judge for the Little Miss and Little Mister Contest at the Dale Fall Festival.

09/07/05
Andrea Walton is the winner of our strangest applicant contest. Her cover letter began, "I'm wrong for your open design position." From there we learned about a world we had no idea existed. Check the portfolio and message board.

08/22/05
County Music Month continues. Angelo and Jami ate a wide variety of fried foods served on sticks before enjoying country music megastar Keith Urban in concert at the Indiana State Fair.

08/16/05
OMG!!! Amy meets TOBY KEITH!!! Yes they are TOUCHING!!! Yes his shirt is made of a TENCEL/SILK BLEND (NOT DENIM)!!! Yes that bottle of beer is barely covering Amy's NIPPLE!!!

08/08/05
Strassenfest 2005 was awesome. Everyone is still quite hazy after the big event.

08/01/05
Cool, furniture related, skateboard graphics.

07/29/05
The results from the sonogram are in. The turtle was present. It's a dude for Christian.

07/27/05
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream... We survived the In Form Outdoor Adventure! The only casualties were a digital camera and several Coronas. A nice breeze and plenty of shade made the +95º day bearable. POWER 10!

07/25/05
The In Form Crew (minus a yardsailing Christian) had lunch in Amish country on Friday. Everyone had plates full of yellow and white food at the Black Buggy Restaurant and General Store. Yep, the Amish have a website.

07/18/05
Everyone (except Amy) is getting excited about the upcoming In Form Outdoor Adventure. We will be braving the vicious Blue River in totally un-motorized and un-air conditioned canoes! Pray for our safe return to civilization!

07/11/05
Jenny got it poppin' in Nellyville this week. Apparently the Evansville show was off the chain. Jenny reported that the guest appearance by Lil Wayne was pure fire. Jenny was kind enough to hook up Angelo with some slammin' Nelly apparel. It's nice to know the IFD Crew was properly representin'. Japer in the house 2005! Yeah, Yeah...

07/04/05
Happy 4th of July!

06/28/05
This is one of the projects that kept us so busy this NeoCon. See images from the recently completed OFS Showroom here.

06/27/05
Happy Birfday Jenny!

06/21/05
Congratulation to Embrace for the Metropolis article.

06/20/05
Life is back to normal.

The Louisville Graphic Design Association website has received a much needed update. Way to go Circleone Design.

06/16/05
We made it through NeoCon. It was an awesome show for us. All of our hard work definitely paid off.

Both the OFS Showroom design and the Embrace Furnishings by Carolina marketing material were huge hits. We heard nothing but compliments all three days of the show.

We met a lot of awesome people, made some great contacts, saw a lot of cool stuff and found a ton of good sources for future projects.

We will be updating our portfolio section soon!

06/06/05
Poor us.

05/31/05
Due to NeoCon deadlines, we couldn't let the three-day holiday slow us down. Strange things happen when you don't take a break from work. Did you know that aluminum and plastic are not microwave safe? Not even for two minutes.

Amy was on a horse for some reason.

05/24/05
What a freakin' week! General pre-NeoCon craziness plus we've added a couple of new capabilities: landscaping (our own) and sign production and installation (for the new OFS headquarters).

We finished the week at the party for the new OFS headquarters where Jenny informed us we had 10 working days until NeoCon. Yikes!

05/16/05
Browse the art of good buddy Dan Ezra Lang at Del Studios.

05/09/05
We hope all you Mothers had a happy day. A nice brunch and some roses perhaps? Not our badass Mothers. Jenny and Amy spent their "special day" prop shopping in Nashville. Hardcore.

05/09/05
Way to go on your CATscan Angelo! No brain tumor!

05/05/05
Congratulation to Embrace for the MMQB cover story!

04/29/05
The site is up! Much thanks to Semisans for the coding and Q Studios for the portfolio photography.

04/29/05
Heavy into NeoCon. Love it! Love it! Love it!

History (To the best of our recollection)

2004
In Form Design wins a Gold Award and two Silver Awards for Graphic Design at the LGDA (Louisville Graphic Design Association) 100 Show.

Jami Scheu joins the team. She quickly proceeds to pimp her office with her extensive Dave Matthews memorabilia collection.

The office sunflower seed era ends.

2003
In Form Design wins 5 Gold Awards for Graphic Design and a Silver Award for Motion Design at the LGDA (Louisville Graphic Design Association) 100 Show.

In Form Design is published in the 2003 Print Regional Design Annual. Christian is interviewed by the magazine and explains the science behind three-dimensional sample cases. "It gives the customers a better feel for materials". Lovely.

Alan Altman and his trusty companion Coop are hired. The office sunflower seed era begins.

In Form Design is asked to create the promotional material for the 2003 LGDA 100 Show. Quite an honor.

2002
In Form Design is asked to create a promotional t-shirt for the LGDA.

In Form Design wins a Gold Award for Graphic Design and a Silver Award for Illustration at the LGDA (Louisville Graphic Design Association) 100 Show.

Angelo Lagdameo is hired. After extensive persuasion and promises of a simpler life, Angelo relocates from the east coast (Washington, D.C. area).

Susan Morganti is added to the crew on a part-time basis. Living in Louisville, she would "vacation" two days a week in Jasper. Days of low stress work, evenings of bike rides through the rolling hill of Southern Indiana and nights at a quaint bed and breakfast kept her coming back week after week.

2001
In Form Design's temporary site is created, stating that the "Seeds Have Been Planted" and promising a "Harvest Fall 2001". Memories.

Jenny, Amy and Christian get things up and running. The birth of In Form Design and a rebirth for all.
