Landis Productions, LLC

Development of a truly revolutionary product relies on the rich tradition of authentic storytelling. When you really stop to think about it, the purchase of any product is a really big deal. The consumer is making a conscious decision to take ownership of a physical object. Often, this object may be seen by their peers and perhaps even become vital to the enhancement of the consumer's day-to-day life.

Sometimes a consumer is shopping for a specific item. How do you make your product stand out from the competition and demand to be chosen above all others?

Sometimes a consumer does not know they need a product. How do you excite the consumer into buying a product that they were not even shopping for?

Success in either case depends on one factor—storytelling. Storytelling in product design is a carefully crafted balance of the construction of the product itself, the presentation/packaging of the product and the branding that the product carries. This storytelling creates a "culture" that elevates a product into "wise purchase" that the consumer is proud to include in their world.

Sample browser for this section of our site is under construction. Designs to be featured on this page in the coming weeks will include:

Calypso Studios Clay Jewelry: Landis Productions created originial clay bead design sheets that were used to manufacture hand-made imported jewelry. Initial branding, advertising, store displays and catalogs were also designed by Landis.
Tanning Bed Concept Design: Landis Productions was asked to create a series of out-of-the box tanning bed designs for an international manufacturer. The unique opportunity allowed the manufacturer to make long term plans to further separate themselves from the competition as true innovators.
Generous Gourmet: It's a tough time for non-profit organizations to be looking for donations. A group of Virginia "cookie-men" came up with a stunning concept that required previsualization and product design to be fully realized into a product line. Landis developed the brand "Generous Gourmet" as a way to sell food items in retail locations where a portion of the proceeds is donated to a specific cause. Designs did not feature the participating foundations as a small banner or back panel, but rather full-blown main package branding. Examples include "Ripken's Cookies" for the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation and "Toys for Tots Cookies" for US Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation. We can't wait to see this product concept in action and helping some great causes that truly make the world a better place.
Memory Lane: When KLEOS Magazine wanted to develop a book product, they turned to Landis Productions to fully realize the concept into something extra-special. Originally proposed as a book of textual "memory" stories, Landis helped take Memory Lane to new heights. The book now treats the residents of Richmond, Virginia to a tour of the past through historical photography, memorabilia photography as well as the wonderfully written passages of text. Landis proposed a close branding relationship of the book to the parent KLEOS Magazine to strengthen the impact of both publications. Landis also proposed the addition of a "VOL. 1" moniker to the cover of the book. (A good decision as Vol. 1 sold out of its first printing which led to a second printing. Vol. 2 is in production now.)
Ping Cards: Landis Productions developed its own line of greeting cards called "Ping Cards" in 2005. Primarily developed as a self promotion item for the year, Ping Cards succeeded in grabbing attention and bringing potential clients to the Landis Productions website. These unique greeting cards feature a unique surprise inside. It's a lot more fun to see them in action, so please be patient and we'll post images of the concept here as soon as we can!
