The Collected Works

The Collected Works The Collected Works is the New York based design studio of Justin Colt and Jose Fresneda.

Over the past year we’ve done branding and interactive design for startups, creative direction and packaging for independent musicians, and retail displays for a multinational apparel company. Outside of client-based work, we’ve developed and funded self-initiated entrepreneurial projects, which have allowed us to experiment in new mediums and push ourselves to unexpected places.

We refreshed our website. We put our website on a truck. We made a video game inspired by the truck, of course.

Introducing OUT OF OFFICE, a browser-based game inspired by Crazy Taxi and the arcade games we grew up playing.

Play as the TCW crew, pick up case studies, and deliver them around our very own version of New York City. We’ve filled the city with 13 years of studio lore, inside jokes, hidden treasures, and Easter eggs. Welcome to the TCW Cinematic Universe.

It’s also multiplayer, so bring your friends and cause some chaos together.

Clock in. Buckle up.

We recently refreshed our website. It was a good opportunity to take a look at who we are, the work we’ve made, the kind of work we want to make, and where we’re headed next. The new site is full of Easter eggs, interactive features, and little things we’ll continue to tinker with over time.

We’re really proud of how it turned out, and we wanted to share it with the world. So naturally, we opted to rent a giant LED truck, put the whole thing on it, and drive it around Manhattan for eight hours. And, of course, we hired a film crew and a professional voiceover actor to tell the story.

After 13 years as an independent studio, we’re pretty proud of the work we’ve made. And even prouder of the people we’ve made it with.

Here’s our work taking to the streets of New York City. Talk about a mobile-friendly website.

Check out what we’ve been working on. We’re so proud of it, we put it on a truck. Link in bio.

We call this part of the identity “The Circuit”. Pretty clever huh. It started with a pretty simple idea: a continuous line that can move, turn, loop, intersect, and find its own path. Part road, part route, part circuit.

Rather than designing a handful of finished vector paths and handing them over, we built Circuit their own generative web app. Their team can use the tool to create entirely new compositions for out-of-home, social, digital, campaigns, motion, and whatever else they need next. Every output is different, but unmistakably part of the same system. For us, we dig this part of building an identity. Not just making the work, but building the tools that let the work keep moving without us.
