Mayhem Studios Answer Create Magazine's Open Roll Call

Los Angeles, Calif. – The work of Mayhem Studios, an award-winning Los Angeles-based design firm, will be featured in Create Magazine's Sept+Oct 2007 West Coast issue. The Studio designed the 5-page West Coast regional feature article written by author Jaimy Lee, “Agency Roll Call: West Coast Agencies Purvey The Changing Landscape of The Advertising Industry.”

The article and design showcases local agencies, getting the scoop on what they are up to and their philosophy on the future of the ad biz.

Create Magazine prides itself on choosing talented contributing designers through out the country to represent their region,” says Kristen Schaeffer-Santoni, art director for Create Magazine. “Calvin embodies that sentiment and it was truly a pleasure collaborating with him for the feature. His passion shows through in his work, and his vision adds to the story for an easy and interesting read.
