My name is Dave. I am a geek, a gamer, an artist, a programmer, a designer,
& a soccer fanatic. This is my website, where I write about
anything that interests me.
At work, we opened a new office in Seattle, but we sorely need art to decorate the walls. Myself and a few other photographers went out yesterday to take a few pictures of some of the Seattle sights. The weather wasn’t great, but we took a some neat photos.
The weather was pretty nasty, and it was pretty much impossible to get any decent kind of contrast out of the sky. I ended up processing most of my shots into black and whites. I’m still not 100% happy with the results of my photos, but I suppose they will have to do.
Awhile back I did a little design work for a Seattle blues dancing organization called Burn Blue. Burn Blue is a Seattle based dance organization dedicated to teaching and promoting blues dancing.
I created a promotional business card to give to dancers, as well as partnering with about 4 other people to complete the flyer design. The business card was intended to serve as a way to entice someone into learning more (and eventually coming out to dance) about Burn Blue, while the flyer was intended as a fun way of telling people all they needed to know about the event and the space.
The flyer:
The business card:
This card was wildly successful. People love to give and receive them (obviously). The best parts of it are that it creates an emotional reaction in someone (You’re hot), and the follows up with an invitation/imperative (Come dance with me). Currently, Burn Blue draws about 200 people to the weekly (not bi-weekly like the cards say, it was expanded) dance.
I think my favorite part of this whole project was working with so many people to come up with a killer design. Also, I love that business card.
