Membership Spotlight :: Patrick Saleeby

Bio

Patrick Saleeby, a Charlotte native, is not afraid to make a career change. After graduating from Appalachian State University he became what he had always planned to be: an English teacher. But after only three and a half years he decided he’d had enough of the bureaucratic nightmare that is our nation’s school system. Next he took an interim job with the U.S. Census Bureau while he tried to figure out his next career move. During this time he also learned, as a clerk extraordinaire, that he would never trust the Census Bureau’s numbers again. He had simply seen too much. When it was time to move on once again, a friend connected him with a job at one of Charlotte’s big banks. After almost a decade of having his soul slowly sucked out of him, Patrick had grown tired of being under Corporate America’s mighty thumb. (Are you sensing a pattern yet?) Ultimately Patrick took a leap of faith to follow his dream of being a writer and being his own boss. While his attempt at the Great American Novel still sits idly in his desk, he has made a new career as a freelance copywriter in his hometown. He works with a variety of local creative teams, but also has a handful of individual clients too. For more information, please visit patricksaleeby.com.

What’s your proudest accomplishment?

I have a great deal of pride about walking away from a fairly lucrative job in Corporate America. I hated my job, so I’m sure that makes it seem like it was an easy decision. But I had a lot of security. I was making a great living. But I was so unfulfilled, and I literally couldn’t stand myself. It’s easy to get caught up in pointing a finger at Corporate America, and all of its hypocrisies and frustrations and idiosyncrasies, but the truth is I knew I wasn’t doing what I should be doing, what I was good at doing, and it slowly ate away at me. At the end of the day we control our destinies, and I definitely wasn’t controlling mine. The longer I was there the more I realized I had to make a change or I would regret it. But all of that doesn’t change the fact that there’s so much risk in walking away. And there’s even more risk when you jump into a completely new field. It’s like starting over. Really, it is starting over. But I knew I could do it. Now, after I’ve had some success, of course I wish I had done it years sooner.

How and why did you get involved with AIGA? Approximately how long have you been involved with the organization?

When I decided to make the move into freelance copywriting, I, of course, started networking and asking for advice. Everyone told me to go to local events, and AIGA was always at the top of the list. I think I went to my first event about a year and a half ago. It was a BuzZ, and that first time I have to admit I wasn’t happy about dragging myself out of bed early to go meet a bunch of people I didn’t know. Now I always look forward to the BuzZ events every first week of the month. I can’t stress enough how helpful and supportive AIGA has been to me. And as a copywriter, I’m in a unique position. At every event I attend I’m surrounded by talented designers. I’ve even been lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with some of them. But I’ve also made friendships that I know will last a very long time. Initially it was also a breath of fresh air to be around so many creative people. When I worked for the bank I had plenty of great colleagues and friends, but it obviously wasn’t a hotbed of creativity.

What would people be surprised to know about you?

Well, being a creative, and you know, a sensitive writerly sort, I’m sure many people – at least those in the creative community – would be surprised to know that I’m a martial artist. Though I’ve dabbled in a variety of different martial arts, my true love is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I happened upon it roughly four years ago. Aside from writing, it’s the only thing I’ve ever genuinely loved doing. I received my purple belt last year and, to be honest, it’s an achievement that I’m extremely proud of. Let me issue people a warning, though: ask me about jiu-jitsu at your own peril. I’ll literally talk your ear off about it.

Where do you see yourself as a copywriter in five years? In ten years? In other words, what issues do you envision will be important to you as a copywriter at those benchmarks in your career?

I probably shouldn’t say this, because it might not sound ambitious enough, but the truth is I don’t know. And I’m okay with that. Because I am having such a blast right now. Obviously I want to continue hooking up with designers, whether it’s an individual or a firm. One of the things I enjoy the most about my job is that I get to work with different designers and creative directors, people who have varying styles. That can range from their work to how they manage projects. Maybe, if I try to look into the future a little bit, I could see myself working at a small firm. Don’t get me wrong; I love freelancing. But when you’re a freelancer the collaborative aspect can sometimes be lacking. You’re given a job to do, and on many occasions the copy needs are somewhat preordained. But I love collaborating with people, throwing ideas at a wall. In many ways I feel like I’m at my creative strongest when I’m given a long leash conceptually. With some of the design firms that I have established relationships with they’ve already provided me that longer leash. And once you get a taste of that, it’s extremely addictive.

What are you currently working on?

I juggled a lot of different projects as 2011 drew to a close. But throughout the year, when we had the time, I worked on a personal project with Susan Walker. She’s an amazing graphic designer, and also a close friend. We just printed our first series of The Queen City Scavenger Hunts, a quirky little labor of love that we put a lot of time and energy into. On the surface they’re Charlotte-centric postcards. But it’s also part photography project, part scavenger hunt. It’s something I think locals will identify with, but I also think the postcards can serve as mementos for visitors passing through. I don’t want to give too much away because I think you have to see them for yourself. We just got them into a few local stores and launched our website. It’s the first time I’ve started on a project like that, completely from scratch, where we could do whatever the hell we wanted. While that aspect of it was liberating, it was easily the most daunting project I’ve ever worked on. But we’re really proud of it. And we’ve already started working on our next series.

AIGA Involvement: AIGA Member since 2010 & CPCC AIGA Communication Officer 2010 – 2011

What attracted you to the design profession? Did you have particular mentors or experiences that opened the door to the profession for you?
I have always loved the arts and I love to work with my hands. I am proud to say that I get it from my Mom. Growing up seeing my Mom over the years as a professional florist working her magic, to seeing her at home sewing clothes for my sister and me or taking ordinary items around the house and making them into extraordinary, beautiful creations.
My work experience ranges from having been a Pre-K Teacher to working for a Non-Profit Organization as well as in the corporate world as an Executive Assistant. These diverse experiences introduced me to layout design and developing innovative solutions to get the job done. When I was laid off in 2008 I had to reevaluate my goals in life. The best quality about me is that I am creative. After a bit of research I found that graphic design would be perfect fit for me. I can honestly say I have found my purpose in life.

What’s one goal (professional or personal) you have for the future?
One of my goals is to apply my talents towards helping non-profit organizations. A particular non-profit area that is near and dear to my heart is autism. I have two boys that are 15 and 11 years old. My 11-year-old is autistic. If I can help in any way with coming up with creative solutions to make autism patients' days progress more smoothly then that would be a huge victory. I am actually doing my internship next spring with TEACCH; a non-profit organization that helps diagnose and support families with autism.

What are you currently working on?
I am currently working on my AAS degree in adverting and graphic design from Central Piedmont Community College, and I’m on target to graduate in May 2012. I am the chair of our portfolio show which will be December 7th at the Trolley Museum, check us out at spotme2011.com. We designed the website to promote the event but also to create awareness of our ideas and talents for those who cannot make it. I wanted to lead this event because my heart's desire has always been to see not just myself, but all my fellow students, succeed in this profession. This is not just a time to market ourselves but a time to celebrate all the hard work we have accomplished.

Where do you get your inspiration from?
From the greatest designer that lived, Walt Disney! I love how he thought of every detail and created an experience. He took his imagination, along with the imagination of others, and brought it to life with his creations. I love that he was fearless in doing the impossible, and also had fun doing it.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
I have always had an interest in marine biology. I grew up on the beautiful beaches of California and I still love it! There is something about the power and mystery of the ocean. It is where I believe the earth meets God.

Membership Spotlight :: Marty McKinney

2011-10-14

You may recognize Marty McKinney as the leader of this month's buZz where he led a creativity workshop to get our design juices flowing; or maybe you remember his first place Lady Gaga poster from Tweet Market this past summer. Either way he's making a big impact on AIGA Charlotte since getting involved this year. Read more to learn a little about the North Carolina native who has been an AIGA member for almost a year.

Marty McKinney has over 20 years of experience in his field, starting in print and designing for the web since its commercial inception. Don’t let that fool you - he is often at the forefront of the marketplace as a trend leader, creatively reworking his clients’ brand and imagery into something fresh and modern. By way of internet-based communication and conferencing alone, he recently designed sites for Hilton Worldwide, Go Electric Drive, and the Emmy’s Archive of American Television.

His ultimate goal would be to seek more collaboration and partnership through a full-time position with an established local firm. For more information, please visit martymckinneydesign.com.

What is your proudest accomplishment?
Uprooting myself and moving to Los Angeles. I rode the biggest .com explosion to hit the West Coast in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Back when all the big brands were clamoring to get online. I designed and worked at some of the biggest web agencies on the West Coast. I was given the chance to see and experience new cultures and life that I have never seen before. Plus, living in the heart of colorful and artsy Venice Beach was a visual dream. Especially for a small town boy from North Carolina.

Where do you get your inspiration?
This answer could get very long, so I will try my best to keep it short.
-Color in everything I see around me
-Music (from indie/electronic/funk/soul to bluegrass/swing/oldies/jazz)
-Nature (from a field of wildflowers to the moss and mold growing on the side of a wall)
-People and collaboration
-Books and other publications, from old to new
-Architecture and furniture
-Antique and flea markets
-Laughter

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Fashion, dance, performance art, and fine art…really anything art and design related. I just can’t stray to far away from what I love. Or if I wanted to go to the other side of the spectrum, an explorer, historian, archaeologist or mad scientist.

If there is karaoke at the next office party, what song will you be singing?
Push It by Salt ‘n Pepa - “Ooooh, baby, baby….Ah, push it – push it good! Ah, push it – pa push it real good!” If you want to see this live, please invite me to your next office karaoke party.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
Be yourself. Don’t procrastinate. Motivate. Push yourself. Or as stated above…push it real good! Oh, and spread the love. Speaking of love, I also get a lot of great advice from my partner, Russ.

Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!! Recap

2011-10-13

Their eggs were sunny-side up and their bacon was sizzl’n! And boy, were they wakey, wakey! A great, energetic crowd of over 20 folk came out for Marty McKinney’s Buzz, from Marty McKinney Design, on Wednesday, October 5th. Fun, energetic music was playing in the background the entire time.

After a brief introduction, I got them up and going with a quick “get-to-know-each-other” exercise. Everyone passed around a big, bouncy blue ball and whomever caught it had to say their name and the first word that came to mind when they thought of morning. Most of the quick responses were right on. We all giggled at the grumpy ones like “15moreminutes”, “early!” and “snooze!”.

The next exercise was a total favorite! Everyone was given a piece of paper, clipped to a piece of cardboard, along with a sharpie. This creative exercise was called “Trace Your Face”. Each person had to hold the piece of cardboard up to their faces, with their nose right-smack-dab in the middle. The clipped paper was on the opposite side. With a steady hand and not moving the board, a different feature of the face was called out and each person had to pretend their hand could see through the cardboard and trace that feature. Each call-out feature was mixed up to make the outcome quite interesting. Some were right on target, while some looked like a cross between a Picasso and Sloth from the Goonies. What a LOL MOMENT!

Exercise number 3 was a great way to get everyone thinking of something in a totally different way. For the first third of the circle of people, a stapler was passed around. Everyone had to think of something else that the stapler could be other than a stapler. Some said “monster” or “dinosaur”, while some said “hair flat-iron” or “diving board”. The next third was given a tennis racquet. Some of those quick responses were either “snow-shoe”, “a camp-fire griller” or “a jail cell”. The last third of the circle was given an empty, plastic water bottle. Some came up with “blown-up bubble”, “a level” or “a scope to look into the future”. Everyone in the group gave a lot of quick and very creative responses.

The final exercise, everyone clipped a piece of paper on the board and were told to scribble something randomly and abstract using just shapes and/or lines. After a few seconds, everyone was told to stop and pass that scribble to the person on his or her right. Now each person was presented with that random scribble and was told to make something recognizable out of it. These looked pretty darn amazing! Some really creative folk were at this early morning Buzz!

At the conclusion, everyone talked about how these exercises can help you look at your client, product or whatever your are working in a different way. We also went around the circle and everyone shared what exercises or ways to get their creativity and productive mojo working. How they stimulated their artistic imaginations to get their brilliant wheels-a-churning. Everyone had some awesome things to share with the group.

As the Buzz meeting adjourned and the music was turned up a bit, everyone was given a goodie bag full of fun-creative items, a playlist/url to download and even some candy. I mean, who doesn’t love a goodie bag??? Hello!

To everyone that came, I hope I inspired you just as much as you did me. I left my first Buzz meeting energized, pumped and feeling good. Also it was great to meet and see some new faces and see the familiar ones. Thanks again!

Eat Your Greens: Think Tank Recap

Virginia Faircloth — 2011-08-08

The Eat Your Greens quarterly event was a big bowl of delicious green knowledge. The group began by grabbing their lunches at Common Market in Southend. As we all gathered outside on the picnic tables we realized that it was going to be a hot one. But as the conversation began, the feeling of heat turned into a passion for change.

The premise behind the Eat Your Greens: Think Tank was for creatives to bring a piece or an idea that they thought was sustainable or that could be executed in a more sustainable manner while using the four streams of sustainability from The Living Principles (Culture, Environment, People and Economy) as a guideline. The discussion began with a quote from the web site Re-nourish, a web site dedicated to awareness and action for sustainable systems.

“Green design is a stepping stone towards more sustainable solutions. The ultimate goal of a green designer is to minimize his/her environmental footprint with their final artifact.”

Sustainable design is a framework for changing the way we make things and the effect it has on society. Designers and non-designers alike can utilize the framework of the Living Principles as a guideline to sustainable design. The Living Principles is a catalyst for driving positive cultural change. It distills four streams of sustainability: Environment, People, Economy and Culture.

Incorporating sustainable design into a project requires you to build sustainable practices into the design process from the beginning. When using the framework of the Living Principles, designers are required to ask themselves questions that relate to the four streams.

The following are examples of questions from each stream:

ENVIRONMENT: What is the expected life span of the artifact? Can it be extended? What other use could this artifact have? Can the artifact be easily repaired and reused? Can it be upgraded?

PEOPLE: How can this project enhance the lives of its makers and users?

ECONOMY: Can your raw materials come from someone else’s waste? Can your waste become someone else’s raw material?

CULTURE: In what ways can this project compel people to make more sustainable lifestyle choices?

As we went around the table, each person shared their item or idea. Each artifact seemed to spark an exchange of concern and positive reflection on what could be changed for the common good. Items included a recycled carpet tile, a reusable coffee sleeve, a reusable cereal box, a recycled notebook made out of milk cartons and the idea of making the beloved pizza box recyclable here in Charlotte.

Sustainable design principles should apply not only to your projects but also to your everyday life. There should always be a conscious thought in everything you do from the things you buy in the store to the types of materials you use in your home. For more on the Living Principles please visit www.livingprinciples.org

JACK & JILL :: A mentor/mentee experience

2011-05-10

REBICH:: (feelings going into it)
The first time I heard the word pedagogy was my second year of design school. It is an awkward sounding word. Think about it, "pedagogy"- sounds like some foot disease. (Queue ads with creepy little monsters lifting your toenail.)

Even more awkward than the word itself was that I was about to take on the role of teacher in the AIGA CLT Mentor/Mentee program. At first, I was a bit hesitant that I had the task of mentoring a budding design student when in fact, I was still learning and growing as a designer. Hey- I have only been doing this for 5 years or so. In between gorging on hummus and conversing with other mentors, this fear recessed in time to meet my mentee, Laura.

LAURA:: (feelings going into it)
Half a year ago is when I first heard about this program. Ever since I have always looked forward to, and been very enthusiastic about the Mentor/Mentee Match-Up. While Walking into Warehouse all that was on my mind was how eager I was to meet a currently thriving designer who would begin to challenge, inspire and share wisdom throughout the next four months. I can’t deny it, I was also a smidge nervous. I didn’t know what to expect. Images of a large burly man critiquing my portfolio while consuming hummus flashed before my mind. Then I met my “Jill”.

BOTH:: (common ideas among us)
As designers, the shared ground we stand on is obviously the love for communicating in an aesthetic language. But at the core is the belief for becoming a designer, which we both perceive is to engage society through design in one capacity or another. Beyond design, there are many conversations about music, food, pop culture, and porter ale. Laughter ensues on a consistent basis, which can only enable better design.

BOTH:: (what we have done so far)
Through our time together we have partaken in many inspirational events. We began with an initial showing of work, then moved onto a one on one portfolio presentation. To balance art with design, we visited the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. The most recent experience was the panel portfolio review at International Paper. Throughout this mentorship we have maintained a continuous invitation to events or places that each other has found as a source of inspiration.

REBICH:: (lessons learned)
During this adventure, I have learned a few things. I have learned that passion can't be taught. It is inherent. Laura has shown this on multiple occasions through how she speaks of design, and the actual work itself. I myself have been refreshed with this passion. It is contagious. I have taken pride in passing down what knowledge I have now to hopefully better someone else and make them more aware of design as a business, and just not a creative outlet.

LAURA:: (lesson learned)
Throughout these past three months I have been challenged to achieve a higher excellence in my design. Tim has illustrated to me, through his work and influential words, that a great concept is the framework for a successful and powerful design. The time we have spent together through this mentorship has opened my eyes to new avenues of creative catalyst such as laughter and finding beauty in each moment. Up until this point I had yet to experience such a fulfilling freedom and joy in Graphic Design as well as life. Also, a select beverage and classic jazz music while burning the midnight oil can only benefit the design process.
