We are pleased to announce that the next installment of the Spark Studio Lecture Series will be held at our KMIP headquarters on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010.

At an event held at the IAC Building on Thursday evening, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the 13 winners of NYC’s first mobile app competition which invited developers to submit applications using raw sets of municipal data released by the city in October of last year.

The winners included WayFinder NYC - an augmented reality app which helps you find the nearest subway, Taxihack - which lets you post comments on taxis and drivers, and Big Apple Ed - which offers detailed info about the city’s public school system. Check-out all the amazing apps here: www.nycbigapps.com

Kiss Me I’m Polish was honored to design the branding and website for this initiative.
Congratulations to all the winners and participants!

A photo of Agnieszka, taken by our dear friend Miha Matei, accompanied a “Shape Your Life” editiorial in the most recent issue of SHAPE magazine. The piece outlined a list of tips for getting things crossed off your to-do list in order to feel more in control of your life.
A challenge we know all too well!

Just in time for the holiday season, our friends at Duck Duck Green have unveiled their new online shop! Founded on the beliefs that child-care products should not only be safe for both babies and the environment, but that it’s just plain better to be surrounded by cool-looking stuff, Duck Duck Green offers everything you need to live green with your baby. A portion of their proceeds is also donated to 1% for the Planet.

Check out their website and the cute logo we designed for this great new brand!

Held at the 7 Train Theater in Flushing, Queens, the first TAKE ON New York Showdown brought ten back-to-back traditional Muay Thai face-offs to a sold-out audience of over 800 pumped participants. Kiss Me I’m Polish designed the identity for this new event series and we were beyond stoked to see our logo all over the fighters’ gear, the ring and various collateral materials that night.

Definitely keep an eye out for upcoming TAKE ON Showdowns cause they’re taking New York by storm!
Chok dee!

This October, the AIGA hosted another one of its biennial design conferences - this time in Memphis, TN. Entitled “Make/Think,” the 3-day event explored the dual roles of designers as makers of beautiful things and strategic problem solvers. As part of the conference’s line-up, KMIP’s Agnieszka Gasparska took part in an “Art Direction on the Web” panel with Ian Adelman (nymag.com + menupages.com) and Khoi Vinh (NYTimes.com).

The online magazine Notes on Design - recently talked with Agnieszka Gasparska about the Kiss Me I’m Polish studio, being from Poland and pack-rat-itis.
