Three brands. One creative community. One incredible event. We're getting ready for PHXDW 2026: Orbit, and we're excited to be part of the creative energy coming to Phoenix! This year's theme celebrates the connections, collaborations, and people that give creative work meaning. We couldn't think of a better place to bring together ONeilPrinting , Rule29, and BHumanKind. O'Neil Printing is proud to be the Official Print Partner, helping bring the conference experience to life through the power of print. Rule29 is bringing our passion for Making Creative Matter®, connecting with fellow creatives and celebrating the impact thoughtful design can have on businesses and communities. And Justin Ahrens, President and Chief Creative Officer of Rule29, will take the stage for a special Being HumanKind Spotlight session, exploring how kindness, creativity, and human connection shape who we become. Justin will also be signing copies of his new book at the Friday evening Orbit Reception. Three different expressions of one shared belief: What we create matters. How we treat people matters just as much. We're grateful to AIGA Arizona for bringing this creative community together and can't wait to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and celebrate the people who make design matter. Will you be in our orbit? Come say hello!

Would someone want your holiday gift without your logo? Seven ways to turn appreciation into a brand experience worth keeping: rule29.com/stories/your-holi… #Rule29 #MakingCreativeMatter

What dish tastes like home to you? Maybe it’s something your family made every holiday. Maybe it’s a food everyone in your state knows. Maybe it’s something you have to explain to anyone who didn’t grow up there. Food carries stories. That idea became American Potluck. We created an illustrated collection of 50 dishes from all 50 states, celebrating the foods, traditions, and little cultural quirks that make each place feel like home. But we wanted the project to do more than celebrate food. Nearly 48 million people in the United States experience food insecurity, including more than 14 million children. So @Rule29 and @Oneilprinting 100% of the proceeds from every American Potluck poster support No Kid Hungry, helping schools and communities connect kids with the meals they need. That is the kind of creative work we believe in at Rule29. Work that can make you smile, start a conversation, remind you of home, and hopefully make a little difference while it’s at it. Pull up a chair, find your state, and tell me: What dish would you have chosen? americanpotluck.art #AmericanPotluck #NoKidHungry #DesignForGood #MakingCreativeMatter #FoodAccess

Sometimes the best way to talk about what is next is to borrow something from the past. For Chipp Con, we created an AI promotion inspired by the old AOL CD experience. If you remember those discs showing up everywhere, you know why. They were hard to ignore. So we took that familiar experience and rebuilt it for a very different moment. A faux CD. A clear jewel case. Bold copy. Plenty of nostalgia. And a simple introduction to what Chipp can help people build with AI. Then our partners at @ONeilPrinting helped us turn the idea into something real. This is the kind of work we love. Strategy, story, design, technology, and production all working together to create an experience people want to pick up and explore. Sometimes Making Creative Matter means making something tangible. Have an idea that could use a less expected approach?

Phoenix Design Week is bringing the creative community together again, and we’re excited to be part of it. @ONeilPrinting is proud to support @AIGAaz PHXDW 2026: ORBIT as a print sponsor, helping turn the event’s ideas and identity into a physical experience. And Rule29 Chief Creative Officer @JustinAhrens will open the conference with a keynote built around Being HumanKind. His talk will explore something we care deeply about at Rule29: as technology changes how we work and create, being human matters more, not less. Creativity has always been about more than making things. It’s about curiosity. Empathy. Courage. Connection. And choosing to use what we make to have a positive impact on the people around us. That feels like a pretty good way to kick off a gathering of designers and creative thinkers. We’ll see you in Phoenix, October 23–24 🚀 sign up here phxdw.com/ #PHXDW #PHXDW2026 #BeingHumanKind #MakingCreativeMatter #AIGAAZ hashtag#Design #Creativity #ONeilPrinting #Rule29

The best ideas do more than communicate something. They give people a way to participate. That belief is central to our work at Rule29. We help turn meaningful ideas into brands, stories, tools, and experiences that invite people in and move them to act. Being HumanKind, created by our President and Chief Creative Officer, Justin Ahrens, is one example of that philosophy in action. What began as a book has grown into a platform of stories, prompts, conversations, and shared experiences, all built around a simple belief: each of us has opportunities to show up for others in meaningful ways. Most of the time, that does not require a huge gesture. It is checking in. Listening. Encouraging someone. Showing grace. Making time. Being present. So we want to ask: Who has been Being HumanKind for you lately? Tell us about someone who showed up for you, encouraged you, helped you, or simply made your day better. We’ll choose several participants to receive a signed copy of Being HumanKind from Justin. Because Making Creative Matter® is not only about what we create. It is about what that creativity makes possible. behumankind.today/ #BeingHumanKind #MakingCreativeMatter #Kindness #HumanConnection #Community #DesignForGood

We’ve loved partnering with the AANA team to help shape the look and feel of their annual meeting. Strong event design creates more than a visual system. It helps build a better experience from the first touchpoint to the last. Planning an event that needs a stronger creative point of view?

Great creative work does not start with talking. It starts with listening. The best brands, campaigns, and experiences come from paying closer attention to customers, teams, culture, and the stories beneath the surface. In our latest article, we look at what great podcasts can teach all of us about curiosity, conversation, and creating work that connects more deeply. Because when you listen better, you understand better. And when you understand better, you create work that matters.

Twenty-five years later, we remember. We remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We honor the families who continue to carry that loss, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless people who stepped forward to help one another. Today, we remember their lives, their courage, and the enduring reminder of how much we need one another. #NeverForget

What should we be able to expect from one another when we're in need? It's a question designer George Aye has been thinking deeply about. George's path is anything but predictable. Born in Myanmar. Raised in England. Nearly didn't make it to college. Studied engineering. Found his way into design, IDEO, the Chicago Transit Authority, and eventually co-founded Greater Good Studio with his wife, Sara Cantor. For 15 years, they've built a studio around a remarkably clear idea: design should serve people, not simply the person paying the bill. Our newest @DesignOfPodcast conversation explores saying no, moral clarity, "Pissed-Off Optimism," Angry Hour, the Livid Conference, and George's newest work, Designing a New Social Contract. It's a thoughtful conversation about what design can do, what it shouldn't do, and the responsibility we have to each other.
