Lois Margolet and her brother, Alan, started Capriotti’s in 1976. They lived in Little Italy in Wilmington, Delaware, where sandwich shops were abundant, but Lois had a dream of creating something unique. The shop began as a boarded up building beneath their apartment. They decided to name it after their grandfather, Philip Capriotti, who loved to cook.
They wanted to create a sandwich for “real turkey lovers,” so they started roasting whole fresh turkeys overnight. This concept set them apart from their competition and still does. People loved their sandwiches, and word spread about their fresh roasted turkey, quality meats and cheese, fresh rolls and produce. It was a regular occurrence to hear people saying “Capriotti’s makes the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten!”
Over time, their popularity grew and in 1987, their cousin, Diane Rizzo, joined them in opening additional locations in Delaware. Signature sandwiches, such as the “Bobbie®” and others, were introduced. The formula was so successful that franchising was offered. Today, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shops located around the country and continue the tradition started in Delaware over 30 years ago.

Health Binge, a Fresh Prepared Foods company, was created by Founder Gerome Sapp, a former NFL Captain and Harvard MBA, to merge the concepts of healthy gourmet food and convenience. This new concept of "nutritional convenience" revolves around tasty hand crafted healthy meals and convenient retail stores that allow anyone the ability to come in, grab a gourmet pre-packaged meal, then go! Chef Roy Daley, a top rated chef, initially partnered with Gerome Sapp to create the Health Binge menu with equal parts nutritional value and taste at the core of importance. Also, elements of the G-BOMBS Diet, a synonym for Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds (some of the best anti-cancer, health promoting foods on the planet) are incorporated into each menu item.

Zappos was founded in 1999 by Nick Swinmurn, who says that his initial inspiration came when he failed to find a pair of brown Airwalks at his local mall. That same year, Swinmurn approached Tony Hsieh and Alfred Lin with the idea of selling shoes online. Hsieh was initially skeptical, and almost deleted Swinmurn's voice mail. After Swinmurn mentioned that "footwear in the US is a 40 billion dollar market and 5% of that is already being sold by paper mail order catalogs," Hsieh and Lin decided to invest $2 million through their investment firm Venture Frogs. The company was officially launched in June 1999, under the domain name "ShoeSite.com."
A few months after its launch, the company's name was changed from ShoeSite to Zappos (a variation of "zapatos," the Spanish word for "shoes") so as not to limit itself to selling only footwear. In January 2000, Venture Frogs invested additional capital, and allowed Zappos to move into their office space. During this time, Hsieh found that he "had the most fun with Zappos" and came on board as co-CEO with Nick Swinmurn. After minimal gross sales in 1999, Zappos brought in $1.6 million in revenue in 2000.
On September 9, 2013, Zappos moved their headquarters from Henderson, Nevada to the former Las Vegas City Hall building in downtown Las Vegas, after an extensive $48 million effort to renovate and make major improvements to the building. CEO Tony Hsieh, who also leads the Downtown Project, an effort to revitalize downtown Las Vegas as a vibrant cultural and economic hotspot, has said he wants "to be in an area where everyone feels like they can hang out all the time and where there's not a huge distinction between working and playing." The move was lauded by Las Vegas mayor Oscar Goodman who said "this will be a game changer for Southern Nevada. This move will bring about a critical mass of creative persons to the inner core of Las Vegas in addition to causing a significant shot in the arm for the economy and for new jobs.
Begson created a custom 12 foot by 8 foot wallpaper design for the Zappos headquarter’s lobby space. Printing and installation by walls360.

In 1960 Letraset announced its instant lettering dry transfer product. This was the first ever sheet of "Dry Transfer" - the product with which Letraset has become synonymous. Dry transfer represented a true revolution in graphic design lettering could be done quickly and easily by anyone and demand was enormous. What could so easily have become a "gimmick" became an essential design tool.
As the 90's approached, the digital age was starting to take shape and less designers
were using dry transfer causing sales to drop
because the computer was a more faster way
to produce results. Design studios began to throw boxes of dry transfer away and Letraset became the lost art of typography.
BEGSONLAND explores the world of Letraset in the form of a typographical dream and gives back to the handmade dimension approach to visual communication. Designers and architects in the past have used this material in extremely strict parameters. BEGSONLAND breaks that mold where our eyes are free to explore and our minds enter the state of imagination.

It’s 1969 in Laurel Canyon, Hollywood. In the eucalyptus scented canyon you can smell the bohemian spirit as you hear the music blow through the hills.
This is the inspiration behind AMORROMA's Cruise Spring 2014 Canyon Collection which was launched at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami. Resort dresses and bikinis functioning as crop tops lend to the easy
feeling of the Hollywood hills in its hay day.
What makes this collection unique is that graphic designer Craig Holden Feinberg of Begson has taken photos directly from LA's canyons and given them new life on swimwear fabric. Designer Heather Roma then mixes Begson's prints with imported Italian materials including natural cotton lace and knit flowers covered in paint and incorporates muted tie-dyes produced in the heart of LA’s garment district. Featured in the June issue of
InStyle Magazine.
This compendium showcases the extraordinary cutting-edge work of 100 of the world’s most progressive graphic designers, from the hard-hitting political messages of Jonathan Barnbrook to the lyrical digital compositions of Peter Saville to the iconoclastic imagery of Stefan Sagmeister. Alongside the array of visually stunning and thought-provoking advertisements, CD covers, posters, packaging, websites, and corporate identities are texts by each designer expressing his or her individual approach to graphic design practice as well as personal insights into the motivations that lie behind the work. An accompanying introductory essay highlights the current issues surrounding graphic design practice, from the ascendancy of digital tools to the amorality of consumerism. By presenting a provocative survey of the latest, most experimental and forward-looking graphic design from around the globe, this exciting book provides a unique and totally unforgettable snapshot of where the discipline stands today and hopefully offers directions for its future.
Ten years of ideas, projects, personalities, events and experimentation, through a gallery of images, videos, interaction and music that tell a contemporary story.
“Fabrica 10 - From chaos to order and back” is not just a book published by Fabrica or about Fabrica, it’s the result of an extraordinary and unique vision of the world, a product of so many visions that have found their expression at Fabrica. Not just images therefore, but also objects, videos, music, installations and texts that have charted a unique and recognizable way of communicating that, while representing itself also represents the creative peak of our times.
“Fabrica” states Luciano Benetton in the preface, “ was created, to capitalize on the value of a type of communication which goes against the current, to unite culture and industry, to apply a typically entrepreneurial concept: the ability to risk by investing in ideas and creativity. The initial idea, developed together with Oliviero Toscani, was also a bridge between the visionary dream -a laboratory where the communication of the future could be planned-and concrete experimentation in the field. Between utopia and the reality of a world in chaotic transformation.”
Founded in 1994, Fabrica is a unique place – virtual and real at the same time – that lives and changes through a continuous exchange of experiences. Fabrica has, over the years, been host to hundreds of young emerging artists from all over the world, with their wealth of cultures and experiences, who have mixed among themselves and with some of the most important personalities in art, culture and communication.
Fabrica’s story is a story of the creative process itself and not of its results. The predominance of ideas over materials, tools, structures, forms and methods, as an undeniable vehicle for creation, is the true mark of Fabrica. "FABRICA 10 – From chaos to order and back" narrates the past as a process that is still in the course of developing.
