print design

Posters, cds, postcards, brochures, identity, etc.


IDENTITY

Pair Food and Wine Seattle
Pair Food & Wine

This identity was designed with Rosacordis and Martin McClellan. The owners of the restaurant wanted something informal yet classic and which evoked the french chalkboard script often found in parisian bistros. The script was hand lettered and utilizes a flourish reminiscent of iron scrollwork. We also designed the business cards and letterhead which is used for the daily menus.

Birds and Bees and Kids Identity
Bird and Bees and Kids

Amy wanted a logo that was fun and young without being childish or silly. This custom illustration fit her needs perfectly and appears on letterhead, business cards, postcards and online.

Market Foundation's Sunset Supper

This yearly fundraiser for the Market Foundation changes its look each year. I've had the pleasure of working with them for several years on different campaigns. In addition to the event logo, I designed posters, postcards, tickets, t-shirts, a program, and rack cards. The event is great fun and the money raised goes to a very important foundation whose mission is to support the needs of children, the elderly and the hungry in downtown Seattle. Other Market Foundation events for which I design print and some web collateral: Going Places Online Auction and the Care for the Market Luncheon.

WEBSITES

The links below will lead you to external websites.

Bird Tribe OrchestraRedRubyPalace.com
The Bird Tribe Orchestra is a gathering of talent and whimsy from one of the NW's premiere musical families! They perform a combination of folk, new age, jazz, rock, and classical music: a signature blend of vocals, cello, fiddle, guitars, and percussion on pieces like Bossa Vita and Dansa Venusia. This website is based on a simple template that I offer my clients. It is an economical solution, is quick to implement and provides a moderate level of customization.

Doug Plummer PhotographyDougPlummer.com
Doug Plummer is a wonderful Seattle photographer who has had a website since the mid 90's. He came to me for a site overhaul that would seamlessly incorporate his 2 blogs as well as include his vast archive of travel dispatches, photo essays and online stories. We updated his site from an old-style table-based layout to a standards compliant css design. While we couldn't update every single page of the site, we were able to build top level pages for his archives that provide a more cohesive look and easier access. We used Slideshow pro for his portfolios in order to allow him ease of updating his site in future.

Environmental Photography InvitationalEPInvitational.com
In 2005 Art Wolfe revived the Environmental Photography Invitational, a photo contest created to increase awareness of environmental issues through photography. As his in-house web designer I designed the front end of the site and worked with the developers at Trademark Graphic Services to create a special upload area so photographers could submit JPGs of their images for judging by the panel. The contest and the interface was very successful with over 300 entrants submitting close to 2000 images. The step-by-step upload instructions walked photographers through each submission stage in an easy to understand manner. The platform agnostic interface also ensured that there were no issues with users systems which we new would run the gamut from brand-new cutting edge machines to 10 year old computers on a dialup modem. We displayed the winning images online using Lightbox JS, a terrific unobtrusive script that allow you to overlay a slideshow on top of existing content.

Allen and Mary Dee DodgeAllenMaryDee.com
Allen and Mary Dee Dodge are artists from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They needed a site to display their colorful and whimsical artwork for collectors and customers. They also needed to be able to update it frequently as well as blog about their process and current projects. We opted to use a Moveable Type architecture in order to take advantage of the great backend account management features and ease of use.

Crystal NEON CRYSTALNEON.ORG CRYSTALNEON.ORG for Modern Dog Design Company. This website focuses on harm reduction for methamphetamine users in Seattle. Emphasis is on targeting safer practices for gay men using meth, drug education and information, and providing access and links to support and treatment groups. Certain accessibility issues were addressed in the site design in order to accommodate the special needs of a meth-using viewer. The site also features content from the Modern Dog designed, award-winning 'Amphetazine" (Warning: This site contains explicit adult content). This older site was built using Dreamweaver.

Art Wolfe Stock ARTWOLFESTOCK.COM. The ArtWolfeStock.com site is a custom solution designed to allow professional photobuyers to easily research images from the vast Art Wolfe Photographic library and to allow Art Wolfe staff to upload and administrate the digital library. As art director and producer, I specced the functionality of the backend and oversaw production of the sleek CSS front end.
