TED Conferences LLC

Technology. Entertainment. Design. Three of our all time favorites. One amazing community of people.
For 25 years, TED has been challenging the world’s greatest thinkers and doers to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. Now, via TED.com, over 350 of the greatest TEDTalks are available to us all, with an estimated 130 million views in 2009! We've instituted a policy to watch one TEDTalk per day as a studio. TED has opened our mind and hearts, and is changing the world for the better.

TEDGlobal Gift Guide

Drawing inspiration from the TEDGlobal Conference 2009 theme, “The Substance of Things Not Seen,” WORKSHOP's design for the event's gift guide reveals information as the viewer unfolds the piece. A line about the environmental sustainability of the paper is "hidden" within the diagonal lines, like an eco-Where's Waldo.

TEDLab

As a part of TED2009 in Long Beach, TEDLab provides TEDsters with the opportunity to exchange ideas with sponsor companies as they share their latest advancements; hence, a custom illustration based on the concept of breakthroughs fueled by one-on-one communication.

TED.com Media Kit

Initially designed as a PDF, and later turned into a printable format, this is TED.com "at a glance."
We loved forming the giant talk bubble out of the most frequently used words in TEDTalks.

TEDGifts

TED is legendary for its gift bags. We designed the pages of 2009's TEDGifts with perforation so gift descriptions could be torn out and used as conversation starters, or currency, or accompany as tags if TEDsters choose to pass gifts along to others in their lives.
