It was in the 1920s, when nobody had time to reflect,
that I saw a still-life painting with a flower that was
perfectly exquisite, but so small you really could not
appreciate it.
Georgia O'Keeffe

Whenever you find yourself in the majority, it's time to
pause and reflect.
Mark Twain

If you confront the universe with good intentions in your
heart, it will reflect that and reward your intent. It just
doesn't always do it in the way you expect.
J. Michael Straczynski

Deluxe Financial Services
Marshall Schwartz, Security Director at Deluxe, is a
popular speaker when it comes to discussing identity
theft. When he planned to speak at the TechMecca
conference in 2007, Deluxers wanted to spread the
word about his participation and their solutions to help
financial institutions and consumers prevent identity
theft.
Working with design partner Zimmer
Madich, High Point Creative created a series of
promotional pieces for the event. Pieces included a
pre-mailer with a unique zip tab opening and invitation
card, feedback form, reminder card encouraging
participants to visit Deluxe's booth and signage. The
result: edgy pieces with a high tech feel that
successfully communicated the "Mission: Possible"
theme.
