An Articulate Account

As snow gently floats down from the steely gray sky, I find myself once again writing a final blog post.  About three months have passed since I wrote my last post.  Although in my last post I promised that you would see more of me in the future I had not expected the opportunity so soon. Almost immediately upon my return I realized that things were different.  Around the end of the year things usually slow down but this year was an exception.  A good amount of work had accumulated and that made for a busy winter break for me. Among all the work there were a few shining Roundpeg...

How Roundpeg Taught Me to be a Honey Badger

Another week, another goodbye as our intern Brittany leaves Roundpeg.  We wish her well as she heads off to a job we have helped her prepare for. Four months ago I was sitting in front of a computer screen at a job that had no room for growth. I woke up everyday knowing I wasn’t getting anywhere in my present situation and I was frustrated.

Differences in Writing Styles

From Brittany Wright From the very first day, Allison repeatedly told me that I was writing academically instead of focusing on readability. To be honest, I had no idea what she was talking about.

Two months later, I get it. I can look at my papers and projects for...

Blasts from the Past

Our intern Brittany talks about some of the interesting posts she found researching content  from our archive. I spent the past few days working on SEO for old blog posts in the web design category. It may seem like a boring task, but I actually enjoyed it. Sometimes it feels nice not to be creative all the time and instead read other people’s original ideas. It’s definitely inspiring. I read about things I hadn’t heard or thought of, things that have become obsolete and things I had forgotten about. I want to share some of the more interesting posts and facts with you. Perhaps the...

3 Things Every Business Needs To Know

by Peter Wolfgram There a few things you need to know. First thing: Roundpeg just welcomed their new graphic design intern, me. My name is Peter, I’m writing from the bullpen at 106th and College and I just had Chipotle for the first time. Second thing: Call me Peter or Pete. I’ll respond to both and I’ll probably respond more rapidly if you say you brought me a Dr. Pepper. I’m a graduate of Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. While my training is in advertising strategy and brand development, I’m really an experience-taught designer with a love of high impact...
