Sustainable living is pretty hard. You have to stick to different restrictions to reduce unnecessary waste and change your daily habits. Luckily, nowadays a lot of organizations are encouraging to save the endangered environment. They promote 4R environmental principles that can make the world a better place for living. Of course, they are pretty simple, but where to start? You can begin with a small investment, for example, change your regular cotton swabs to a sustainable alternative.  We created a few different swab designs to meet our client’s expectations. The swab had to look like a fluffy cloud and be instantly associated with something clean and pure. In fact, the design process was quite challenging, but our team managed to find the most suitable one. Enjoy! https://hound-studio.com/portfolio/lastswab/ ### Payticket We’re excited to share our new animated commercial created for Traffic Ticket App. Traffic Ticket App gives an opportunity to pay for a traffic ticket online within seconds and save your time and money.

Everyone knows about Stuttering that prevents a fluent flow of words and causes blockages in speech, but what about Cluttering? Cluttering speakers often talk too fast, they try to say too many words in too short a time. This is often accompanied by spurts in the speech and problems to keep the speed under control. As a result, their message does not always arrive well with their conversation-partners, which can lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication. That’s why it’s very important for people who have a cluttering speech to receive the right help.
