The Wolfpack Film Group, along with tons of sponsors such as the Texas Motion Picture Alliance, is putting together a huge New Year’s Eve Party to celebrate the Texas Entertainment Industry. Oh, and portions of the proceeeds go to the WPOS Homeless Documentary.
The Karma Lounge in a swanky, downtown spot here in Austin, Texas, and so the goal was to create an equally swanky advertisement to appear in publications such as Insite Magazine.
I looked through a significant number of flyers, everything from raves to parties to things we won’t mention here. Most of them had scantily-clad attractive ladies as the crux of their marketing pitch. I chose to go a different direction.
The client wanted something bold, lush, and rich – which, honestly, keeps bringing me back to RED. I swear, if you didn’t know better, you’d think red was my favorite color. For some reason, maybe because I’ve done red really well in the past, clients seem to want me to keep working with it. This time round, though, I was able to add some pretty strong blue and orange elements that I think give this piece a different look than say the Lionheart or Red Luvs Ya brands.
Similar to Austin Skye Wellness, I was brought into a really strong, pre-existing design done by the team at NuArtisan and asked to just augment and add some of the finishing, more illustrative touches.
In particular, I really love the tiled & sticker elements I added. Fun stuff.
I was brought into a pre-existing, strong design to just fancy up some of the elements and add a little bit more dimensionality to things. NuArtisan, a great company located here in Austin, asked me to help augment the design with some illustrative, custom built elements.
Continuing the Lionheart Health Branding Initiate 2009, the client requested 6×4, post card size flyers that could be left at various sponsors around town.
Like with the business cards, the big goals were to showcase the brand, the contact information and the free health camp offer. Been a few months since I’ve done something for print, so I’m pretty damn happy with this.
Continuing work on the Lionheart Health Brand, these business cards were built to be bright, and attention grabbing.
We wanted something that had a classical (1900s) feel combined with a modern edge.
For the client, there were three big things the card needed to accomplish:
- Showcase the company name & brand
- Clearly display name, telephone number and web address
- Work double-duty to advertise their unique feature of letting people experience an entire class for free
Can’t wait to see what they look like printed up!
For Bounce-Rite Trampolines, my goal was to make something fun, kid & family friendly, with energy but still seem professional and trustworthy. After all, when you’re talking something that the whole family will be jumping up and down on, you want to know that you can believe in the manufacturer.
I’ll post up the other page designs as they’re finished.
Recently Red McCombs Media contracted me to do a nice and clean blog redesign for them, based on their current website and the branding I’d created back for them when I was the Creative Manager.
Here’s the result:
While the other two Media Mayhem posters were done in black and white for cheap printing by the school, this poster got the luxury of being printed in color. I have a few copies still, and it looks really nice.
The two black and white posters probably took half a day to design at max, while this one took me at least 3 days to complete, if not more. It was intensive. When the more simple “Recordshow” poster won 2nd Place at Larson, I was surprised.
Looking at it now, I still love this piece.
In an effort to get some of my older work up on the site to show the breadth of my design abilities, I’m not going to be writing anything on this first pass.
Instead, I’ll just post the images associated with that project. Once I’ve made a dent in this backlog, then I’ll go back and add in some text, explaining the project, what it was, etc. Occasionally I’ll write something if there may be confusion, but in general, the work will have to speak for itself for a little while.
